Government System
The Empire of Enlod is a realm, based on the old Roman Empire. The realm will be ruled as a Tyranny and that would mean that the Imperator will have the same abilities as a Tyrant. This government system has been chosen to prevent problem we faced in the Sartania (the realm who created us). No one will stand above the constitution, not even the Imperator. And the constitution has been created to divide the power of the Imperator among the nobles. So everyone will be as pleased as they would be in Sartania or an other realm, only there will be no monthly election.
The Senate
The Senate is a council of region lords with as leader, the Duke of the Capital city, also known as the Princeps Senatus. It's the parliament of The Empire of Enlod. It is an important organ of our realm. And if we talk about the Senate, then we talk about only the region lords. The government members are added to the message group of the Senate as well, because they are important to discuss with about the internal and international problem of our realm. The government members have the same rights as the senators, but they are not invited to vote on any referendums.
The rights of the Senators:
- The right to interrogate; they are allowed to ask everything concerning a position towards the keeper of the position. And the keeper will have to answer every question, but he can protest against a question if he finds the question misleading or not concerning his position. In this case, we have to answer the other questions, and the Iudex will decide if he has to answer the question where he protested against or not. If the Iudex will be interrogated, he can also protest, but then it's up to the Princeps Senatus to decide if he has to answer the questions.
- The right of amendment and initiative; they are allowed to change the constitution or to make a new law for the constitution. The Senate will have to vote about it before this change or new law will become active. Concerning changing the constitution, the Imperator is the only one who can initiate a legal referendum. It will require the two-third majority to pass this referendum.
- The right to issue a motion of distrust; they can ask every keeper of which position it may be, to step down. A motion of distrusted need to be supported with good arguments. If so, then the Princeps Senatus will have to initiate a new referendum. It will require the two-third majority to pass this referendum. Who received the motion and lost the referendum will have to step down from his position. If he refuses to step down, than the Imperator will remove him personally from his position.
Government positions
If a government position is empty, the Imperator will appoint himself to the empty position. In the mean while, the Imperator will initiate a new referendum. A representative referendum, wherefore the senators will be invited to vote on. Every noble is allowed to speak up if he wants the position and he's free to add his name on the list of nobles to choose. It will require the simple majority to pass this referendum.
