Government and politics

Durland is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. Under the Constitution of Durland, adopted on 9 April 1928, political power is separated between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. Executive power is exercised by the monarch and the cabinet, consisting of ministers. The Queen (currently Carilla) is head of state and is vested with certain prerogative powers. She appoints ministers, grants assent to laws, awards honours, and holds supreme command of the armed forces. Whilst nominally at the discretion of the monarch, these powers are generally exercised on the advice of the incumbent government. Constitutionally, the monarch is responsible for maintaining peace, order, and good government, and has a number of reserve powers at her disposal, albeit rarely used.

Legislative power is vested in the bicameral Parliament of Durland, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives. The former is made up of 50 senators appointed by county assemblies according to their own political compositions. The 150-seat House of Representatives is directly-elected every three years. Elections take place using mixed-member proportional representation (MMP), with each county returning a number of members corresponding to its population. Parliament is responsible for passing laws, adopting the national budget and approving the state's accounts, approving the appointment of and scrutinising governments, and generally representing the public. Bills may be initiated in either house, although the constitutional supremacy of the House of Representatives means that the majority of bills begin in the House, from which the majority of ministers are appointed.
