Government and politics
According to the current Constitution of Durland, which was adopted on 9 April 1928, Durland is a unitary constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. The monarch of Durland is head of state and nominal chief executive, with the Prime Minister serving as head of government and de facto leader of the cabinet. Political power is separated among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government, with only the monarch having a role in all three.
The constitution names the monarch as head of the nation. As head of state, the monarch possesses certain political powers, although these are usually exercised on the advice of the incumbent government. These powers include granting assent to Acts of Parliament, serving as commander-in-chief of Durland's armed forces, and acting as chief diplomatic official abroad and a symbol of unity at home. The monarch also plays an important role in cabinet formations, with responsibility for appointing the informateur and consulting parliamentary leaders on possible coalitions; it is then the monarch who appoints the cabinet upon the conclusion of formation talks. In reality, many of these powers are nominal or restrained. All laws have to be countersigned by a relevant minister, who takes responsibility for them. Awards of honours usually follows the advice of the Honours Appointments Committee, and political and judicial appointments follow the advice of Parliament.
