Government

The Principality of Taranima is a Confederal Parliamentary Elective Constitutional Monarchy, with the monarch, bearing the title of Grand Prince or Princess, serving as the Head of State for the Taraniman Confederal government, but with most legislative and executive powers turned over to an elected Legislature, and the Confederal Peerage. Taranima is however, lacking in a legally empowered, appellate judiciary. In addition to the central Taraniman government, Taranima has significant and quasi-sovereign devolved governments in the forms of the Duchies of Taranima. The structure of the Confederal government of Taranima is outlined by the Articles of Confederation of the Principality of Taranima, and the roles of governments are as follows:

Executive: The executive branch of the Principality is embodied by two institutions. The first of these, the monarchy, is elected from among the gentry when the previous sovereign dies, or is otherwise rendered incapable of discharging the duties of monarch. The Grand Prince or Princess serves chief diplomat of the Principality, as well as leadership of the Princely Armed Forces of Taranima in addition to the duties owed to the houses of Taranima. The second is embodied by the Prime Minister of Taranima and their cabinet which are appointed by, and accountable to, the Parliament of Taranima, being summoned and discharged by vote of no confidence.

Legislative: The legislative branch of Taranima is a bicameral affair with a democratically elected Parliament, as well as the Hereditary House of the Peerage. The Parliament is the more powerful of the branches possessing power of purse, as well as most of the daily legislative powers in Taranima, in addition to the appointment of the Prime Minister, their cabinet, and most other important executive officials. The Peerage on the other hand is responsible for the election of a new monarch as well as having the final vote on changes made to the Articles of Confederation. Peers convene on an irregular basis, but are expected to select from their number a Lord or Lady President who is to respond to crises, as well as being the day to day representative of the Peerage in the Taraniman political scene.

Parties and Elections

Elections for the parliament of Taranima occur every three years, or in snap elections if the Prime Minister and their government is recalled by vote of no confidence, or if parliament is willingly dissolved by its members. Citizens of 21 years of age or older are eligible to vote in the general election. Votes are assigned proportionally
