The Supreme Chancellor
A new title, there have only been three Supreme Chancellors of the URA since the establishment of the new government structure in 1991. Since that time, the role of the Chancellor has stayed constant; a position elected by the members of the High Council, the military High Kommand and some elements of the Assembly of Commons, the Supreme Chancellor is granted ultimate power and authority to act as they see fit with no official barriers to their actions. They are the ultimate authority in legislation, the supreme commander of the armed forces and the head of foreign affairs, steering the country according to their will. However, both the military and Kongress have soft power over the Supreme Chancellor, for while no position can refuse to follow their orders, the Chancellor relies on a lot of cooperation and subservience to complete their vision and keep the massive task of running the nation and chains of command in working order. A proviso does exist to remove the Supreme Chancellor by a majority vote from Kongress and High Kommand, though so far this has been unnecessary. The first Supreme Chancellor died in office, the second resigned in shame after a significant military and diplomatic disaster brought shame to the nation. The current Supreme Chancellor is Monika Schefer, formerly the Council Deacon.
The Kongress
The Republikkan Kongress is made up of three organizations; the House of Commons, the High Council and the HIGHKOM.
Assembly of Commons
Democracy in Æsthurlavaj does not work the same way as other republics or democracies. As a representative republic, the URA uses representatives from states, political parties and other similar groups to make up the Assembly, a collection of politicians elected by state or party to give their voice in the Rad Hus. The Assembly is also unique in that it also has no set amount of seats, preferring to stay flexible to future needs for greater representation. The Assembly as a body is led by the Council Deacon, who sits at the High Council as the Assembly's voice in higher politics. Issues of national debate are discussed among the Assembly, and those measures that requires higher oversight are pushed to the Council. Proposals for new legislation are also formulated in the Assembly, which is also pushed to the Council for approval. The Assembly also holds the right to veto, allowing the entire group one single vote to stop a measure they view as harmful if proposed by the Supreme Chancellor or High Council.
The High Council
High Kommand
The military, holding much cultural significance and power in the nation, has a voice in politics as well. A panel of senior officers from each branch is chosen to sit in on the High Council, lending their voice and overall representation to government. It is important to note that these officers are not in overall command of their respective branches, but their superiors hold much political power as well. In economic, foreign and domestic affairs HIGHKOM works with the senior commmanders of each branch to ensure equal representation in affairs, as well as make sure no law is unfairly passed to affect the branch in question.
