The Kingdom of Xara or Xara is a Member State to the Union of the United Kingdom of Ahrana that is one of the five internal Kingdoms that make up the Union. Xara is considered to be the original homeland of the Ahranaian People and the birthplace of the Ahranaian Empire, and where the first foundation of a modern Monarchy was formed.

Government and Politics

The Kingdom of Xara is a Member State to the Union of Ahrana and therefore has the right, much like the other Member States of the Union, to have a Regional Constitution outlining its Government, Rights of the People, and whatever is not dictated to the Federal Government per the Federal Constitution. The Kingdom of Xara is headed by a Federal Appointed Governor-General who acts as the representative of the Diarchs in the Member State and holds not executive power. All Executive Power is invested in the Executive Council of Xara which is a Seven Member Council.

Governor-General

The Governor-General of the Kingdom of Xara is appointed by the Diarchs, Federal Chancellor, State Councilor, and the State Parliament for a four-year term, this term is not capped on the length of appointment to office. The Governor-General by law cannot be affiliated to any Political Party while in Office, a Member of the Federal Government or Regional Government, besides the office of Governor-General.

The Governor-General holds no Executive Power but is purely a Ceremonial position. The authority the Governor-General holds are signing all Regional Laws into effect, heads the Regional Executive Presidium at the end of every year, opens the regional parliament on the behalf of the Diarchs and the Regional Executive Council, and acts as mediator between the Federal and Regional Governments.

Executive Council

The Executive Council is a seven-member Council headed by a Council President that is rotated ever year among the Seven Members who in turn serve a Seven Year Term. The Executive Council is the sole Executive Authority in the Regional State and holds the authority to create and stop any legislation from being passed, with approval of the courts. The Council is the Regional Head of Government. the Council President is decided by who was in the Executive Council by length, meaning the most senior person in the Council is the President and is then rotated by that system.

The Executive Council is currently composed of the following members:

• Aksel Halvorson
• Emilie Nord (Council President)
• Maja Forberg
• Hedvig Bjerk (Council Vice-President)
• Bjorn Friberg
• Ylwa Skau
• Elizabeth Sigmond

The Parliament of the Kingdom of Xara is a Unicameral Legislture called the National Assembly of Xara, which is made up of 100 Members of Parliament that serve a four-year term renewable three times only. The Members of Parliament are responsible for debating the governments laws they wish to enact, regulation of taxation, healthcare laws, public education, and regional law enforcement through the Federal Police Services.

Judicial

The Judiciary of the Kingdom of Xara is set up by the Federal Judiciary having three levels of courts at the Regional Level: Regional Supreme Court, Municipal Court, and City Court. Each of these three Courts are headed by a panel of three judges that are nominated by the Executive Council, veted by the Regional Parliament, and Elected by the People to a seven-year term renewable three times only.

Foreign Relations

By Constitutional Law the Federal Government oversees the International Representation of all Member States within International Organizations, but the Member States do reserve the right to have Embassies and Ambassadors in foreign nations and International Organizations to work with the Unions Ambassadors. All Ahranaian Embassies have a Federally Appointed Ambassador and an Ambassador from Each Member State within that Embassy appointed by the Regional Executive Council.

Furthermore, a Regional State may create treaties with foreign nations if it does not conflict the interest of the Federal Government or National Security for the entire Union. As it stands currently the Kingdom of Xara has no other treaties with a foreign nation that the Union does not already possess such treaties with.

Military and Law Enforcement

The Federal Government of the Union reserved the right to control the Military of all Member States within the Union, due to the Xara Accords the Kingdom of Xara is alloted the reserve right to have a Self-Defense Force within its Regional Boundaries. This Self-Defense Force acts as a Civil Guard or Home Guard and works hand and hand with the Federal Police Servies, the main Law Enforcement Agency of the Union of Ahrana.

The Kingdom of Xara also has its own Police Service that is a sub-unit of the Federal Police Services that is responsible for policing the Districts and Municipals within the Kingdom of Xara. The Xaraian Police Service is headed by a Deputy Police Commissionar that is placed in office by the Executive Council, who in return works with the Federal Police Commissionar at the Federal Police Services.
