Politics and Government
Byennordvest is a parliamentary representative democracy, a constitutional monarchy and a decentralised unitary state in which the monarch of Byennordvest, Grand Duke Edvard Røhllem av Trølland, is the head of state. Byennordvest is a high functioning democracy with the Byeansk constitution which was first written in 1884 and then ammended in 1967 putting emphasis on human rights, freedom of religion and the separtion of church and state. The government of Byennordvest is split into three branches. The executive whose power lies in the cabinet which is presided over by the Byeansk Prime Minister. The legislative branch of government which lies in the hands of the Byeansk Parliament the Stortrigesknet and the judiciary branch which is nominated by the executive. There is a high degree of government transparency and accountability leading to high satisfaction rates amongst the Byeansk public towards their government. Byennordvest can be described as a full democracy.
The government forms the executive branch of the government and is led by the Byeansk Prime Minister (Runa Höelff since 2009). The Prime Minister and the cabinet are accountable to the Stortrigesknet. The Prime Minister and members of the Cabinet are appointed by the Crown on basis of the party composition in the Stortrigesknet. No vote of confidence is necessary to install a new government after an election. If the Folketing expresses its lack of confidence in the Prime Minister, the entire cabinet must step down, unless a new parliamentary election is called in which case the old government continues as a caretaker government until a new government can be formed. In Byennordvest it is very unusual for a single party to win a majority in the Stortrigesknet, because of this all governments that have been formed in the Grand Duchy have been coalition governments, the current coalition government is made up of four parties Sentrumparti, Byeansk Grønnaparti, Ekte Rødt and Ny Liberal. This coalition has been in existance since 2015. Before that the Byeansk Grønnaparti and Ekte Rødt ruled alongside the Sentrumparti of whom the Byeansk Prime Minister Runa Höelff is leadder. From the 1990's until 2005 the country had been ruled by successive Konservativ-Frøkrittsparti coalitions.
The members of the cabinet are all heads of government departments known as ministries.A department acts as the secretariat to the Minister. Its functions comprises overall planning, development and strategic guidance on the entire area of responsibility of the Minister. The Minister's decisions are carried out by the permanent and politically neutral civil service within the department. The legislative branch of the government is spearheaded by the Stortrigesknet which is made up of 170 members and is the unicameral parliament of Byennordvest. The government is accountable to parliament through the principle of parliamentary control (question hour, general debates and the passing of resolutions or motions). Ministers can be questioned by members of Parliament regarding specific government policy matters. Byennordvest has an highly independent judiciary
In accordance with the Byeansk Constitution the monarch as head of state is the theoretical source of all executive and legislative power. However, since the introduction of parliamentary sovereignty in 1894, a de facto separation of powers has been in effect. The current Grand Duke of Byennordvest Edvarde Røhllem av Trølland has been on the throne since 1989. As Byennordvest is a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's role is largely ceremonial today, restricted in his or her exercise of power by the convention of parliamentary democracy and the separation of powers. However, the monarch does continue to exercise three rights. The Byeansk monarchy is one of the world's oldest dating back to the 12th century having been founded by Roska The Great. The only time in which they have not ruled the country was during the Byeansk Republic (1784-1884). Today the monarchy is well liked by the Byeansk people.
