First Republic

During the First Republic, the office of the King of Camia was initially held by the President of the Council of Correspondence, in his position as the actual chief executive of the country. Between 1742 and 1747, the President of the Council was titled as Lord Regent of Camia in diplomatic letters. Two years later, the Compact privately agreed that the Regency should be permanently combined with the head of the Council of Correspondence. After the death of Sa Meh, the Compact was unable to procure a acclaimed successor to the Regency; as a result, a plebescite was ordered to choose between the current leaders of the Council of Correspondence. This practice persisted through the First Republic and is considered by some to be the beginnings of the presidential system in Camia, since the Lord Regent personally held the approval of the entire populus. Initially, the Regency was held for life, but a maximum of 12 years was instituted in 1785 for the next Regent, after which he was deposed.

Second Republic

The Second Republic was founded in consequence of the Ackerian Reforms which represents a compromise between the "literate democracy" and "urban democracy" that Themiclesian and Tyrannian elites respectively preferred, creating a common franchise that purported to unite the political will of the two classes, which had been in some degree of antagonism in some relationships. While later historians memorialize the common franchise as a great, revolutionary development, other scholarly voices assert that the it was more political theatre than anything else. The absolute size of the franchise did, however, increase from around 2,300 votes to over 7,000 in the first general elections in 1823. The effects of the Maverican Wars, which occurred at the middle of the First Republic, are visible in the political discourse leading to the Second Republic. While Camian community leaders of Tyrannian descent sometimes viewed their Themiclesian counterparts with suspicion, the latter's willingness to fight against metropolitan interests in the Second Maverican War served to dispell some of that suspicion.

Under the constitution of the Second Republic, presidentialism was officially recognized. As head of state, the Regent was re-styled in Shinasthana as tsong-li-kwek-chingh (總理國政), which was gradually abbreviated to tsong-li (總理); the term "president" was introduced in Tyrannian in the middle of the First Republic, during the regency of Arthur Kinley, since there were no plans to resurrect the monarchy. The power of the regency increased dramatically during the leadership of the penultimate and ultimate regents, Ackers and Bird, who sought to circumvent the increasingly conservative and reactionary Council of Protonotaries to pass laws. Initially, this was achieved by appointing "acting ministers" (行尚書事) when the Council would not ratify the appointment of reformists as official ministers; when that was blocked by the Council in 1793, the government briefly was paralyzed, in the middle of the Camian Campaign. Regent Na accused the Council of sabotage when Themiclesians had already occupied the Camian capital and passed decrees via the Council of Attendants, regardless of the Protonotaries's objections. After the war, the Protonotaries became reviled as collaborators. Na's controversial practices were inherited by Ackers and Bird, both on the Council of Attendants during Na's regency.
