OOC: BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THIS FACT BOOK, IT IS LIKELY TO BE MIGRATED TO A SEPERATE WEBSITE (I'D CONSIDER ADDING IT TO THE WIKI BUT THE WIKI HAS THE TENDANCY TO CRASH ~ it is self hosted, however there is no gaurenty it would be available when someone else is looking for it. suggestions welcome (tg me with them, also how are jolt hosted factbooks handled) I'm checking in on the posibilities a website may seem best if posting lots of data heeis a nettiqette issue. I'm delivering the factbook based upon structure first, I have lots of background information, however enjoy constructing the roles. Each listing has some info. Each old be a seperate post most likely. this is just one chapter of the fact book, I'm seeing about making it into a pdf with graphics and such when it is done, then just hosting it say megaupload or something. Lots of editing still needs to be done as it is a mishmash of a number of notes i wrote, lots of info still missing.

[[SPHERES OF The Paat STATE and GOVERNMENT

DIAN IMPERIAL HIERARCHY]]

PART A Imperial (spawns Royal, "draws from Provincial and Ducal")

IMPERIAL EMPIRE (the whole body) the emperor elects a ceasar from the senate generally, there is one ceasar for every "major territorial/administrative divion of the empire ) CEASARATE (a division of the Empire)Many Imperial administrative posts are held by members of the Imperial family or previous imperial families which are all somewhat interconnected. The state system is the castes and there are a variety of layers however, it effectively breaks down into priests(clerics), judges(executives) and warrior(ES, and the Imperial Forces), general population would if included count mostly as clerics, and physical labourers as warriors. Preists (Spirit) Judges (Mind) and Warrior (Body).

THE EMPEROR' S INNER CIRCLE
STATE DEPARTMENT HEADS
The State is the consolidated beleif of the Imperium. The state is not to be confused with the government. The state is all Imperial Agents, and is headed by the Emperor. Only Officers Lictor and above are acting on behalf of the state, this includes the Consuls of the Imperial provinces BUT NOT parliaments. Privy Councilors of the Provincial governments are the base of what would be considered 'citizens', as they have the right to communicate with the empire. A few other agents
aslo are part of the Imperial State. Equestrians are regarded favourably and also have some general recognitions. What would be considered plebs are technically not 'free' and are 'subjects'. Officially however everyone has the right to be free and is bound by no laws but the absolute rule of divine law.

=Powers of the Emperor=
The Emperor is the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces, and Head of the Justice System, effectively the Emperor can order anything and is not subject to any rules other than the ultimate rule of law. Everyone has some order of preceidence as equals in the Imperium, and everyone has the right to be Emperor. It just happens that the 'offical Emperor' is the one who goes through the ceremonial rights, and is popularly recognized as 'the head of state'.
The Emperor Issues commands through the following processes:

EMPEROR'S FAMILY

he Imperial House is the family that is currently in charge from the Emperor, this changes with every new Emperor.


==Imperial Crown== IMPERIAL POLITICAL 3 Grade 26 (Members of the Imperial House all in exercising on behalf of the Imperium respectively are considered the Emperor, however they will hold a rank around rank 23 but may not exercise any powers or create law other than as directed by the Emperor, generally this is only in regard to matters of the Imperial House, such as the Emperors Residences, in this respect the Master of the Horse and Cheif Justisar are technically higher ranked than
senators or ceasars, but only while in 'the Imperial Houses Property, where as the senators hold a special rank in the Imperium domains, and their specific duties as Consul or otherwise but the senate acting jointly is second only to the Emperor throughout the empire, or a ceasar in their administrative zone.However the Hiearchy or rolls of the Imperial House exercise authority above the Senate or ceasars within Imperial House property, thus no Lictors may take orders of the Senate or Ceasars on Imperial House Property wihtout the permission of a person on the rolls of the Imperial House and must listen to the highest rank Imperial House member, ultimately that being the Emperor. So technically the Imperial House members who may not hold an actual 'government' position are able to exercise authority as members of the Imperial House, thus Imperial Properties are technically not part of the province they reside within, nor the administrative zones of a particular ceasar, in this respect the Emperor is both the Consul and Ceasar of Imperial House Property, with the provinces and administrative zones being 'special house property' where there is a 'house' for each area, thus each ceasar has their own house, whereby only the Emperor as head of the house has higher ranking than the ceasar who is second, the ceasars own house thus has imediacy within the zone, but the Emperor sets the Ceasar's house rules to require that their house is composed of members of ESSI, finally the provinces house is technicaly parliament and the government headed by the provinces two consuls or govenor general & imperial govenor are equally ranked as third in command of the Imperial House but only for their respective provinces, however the Imperial Council of Govenors in consensus would extend the scope of the Consuls reach to all of the Empire or atleast those areas in agreement, the Impeial Senate itself is all holders of the Imperium) (Do not 'officially' have executive powers except to stay actions or directives by lower ranked officers while on Imperial House Property of their designation. Or they may give commands as directed by the Emperor to Imperial Forces) They at times have special roles or even assignment as a praetor or other military rank.

CHEIF MARTIAL OFFICERS
Some advisorial ranks have no official Imperial Command rank, but they have votes in the Casa Militar and are often ceremonial commanders of troops and/or body gaurds.

~

Imperial Lugal
Is the head of all military forces and is generally the most Senior ranking retired Praetor. Sometimes retired Praetors opt not to be Lugal. They have more of a coordinating role, and act as Advisor to the Emperor on matters of the militant.

Imperial Great Steward
Overseer of the Emperors House banneret, a knight, three squires, and a clerk for the pleas that pertain to the stewardship (sester of wine, twelve candles, two tortis pur viu one torch, and more when he needs them two squires and his clerk.

Although not assigned to any specific location, they are located at a seperate military base, and act on the orders of the Emperor specifically, thus are much like Praetors Praetorian gaurd that is acting specifically on the orders of a given Praetor. Often this group is broken up into brigades for specific Imperial House lands that are important to secure, generally this force is not deployed out of Dian Territories, and the deployments are in part security planning. (This person is one of the most trusted people in the Imperial House, perhaps a close family member or long time friend)

Imperial Crown Bailiff
The Imperial Crown Ballif is incharge of 'keeping order' on imperial house property. There may be a number of 'sub Ballifs'. They answer to no one in performance of their duties, except of course the Emperor, and act on the orders of the Emperor. They may however, bring some individuals before the Imperial Justisar. The difference between the Crown Ballif and the Great Steward is that the Great Steward is concerned with more than just keeping order, the ballifs are generally 'civil' issues and more 'general security'. The Great steward is more involved in actual combat, of the entrenched and lasting variety, these two roles cross over at times. The Crown Bailiff generally oversees a detachment from the Great Steward. Thus the crown baliff is incharge of the "grounds" while the steward may have off grounds, or even out of the Interior operations as the steward is effectively in charge of the Ultra Elite Praetorian Gaurd.

Sultan is in command of the "Honour Gaurds" Styled ____ Khan

Janissaries consider the Emperor's corps as their home and family, and the Sultan as their de facto father. These are seperate from the much more combat oriented Praetorian Gaurd.

Within the Janissaries there are:

thirty serjeants-at-arms, properly armed and mounted ... , who shall daily ride armed before the Emperor's person while he is journeying through the country, unless they have other commands. This is for both ceremonial and modern. The numbers are distributed. Both ahead and behind and to the side. and in case of air transit above and below.

Yeomen Warders of Imperial Palace and Fortress the Great Tower, guardians of the Great Tower
They look after any prisoners at the Tower and safeguard the Imperial crown jewels on display, they also act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in their own right. All warders are retired from the Imperial Gaurd, and must have served either in the Imperial Guard or Intelligence Service of a Province or served a 'higher ranking' non combat or inteligence officerial role of higher rank with good conduct. The Yeomen Warders normally wear an 'undress' uniform of dark blue with red trimmings. When the sovereign visits the tower, or the warders are on duty at a state occasion, they wear red and gold uniforms very similar to those of the Yeoman of the Guard.

Chief Warder meets the Escort of the Key. They secure the main gates of the Great Tower. They retrun to the Bloody Tower archway, the party is halted by the sentry and challenged to identify themselves:
Sentry: Who goes there?
Chief Warder: The keys.
S: Whose keys?
CW: The Imperial Keys
S: Pass the Imperial Keys. All's well.

Following this, the party makes its way into the fortress, where the guard presents arms, and the Chief Warder raises his hat, proclaiming:

CW: The Almighty preserve the Imperium

He then takes the keys in for safekeeping, while the Last Post is sounded.

It also servers as a a parade company and provides escort for the for the Emporer's Birthday Parade, state opening of a parliament, Trooping the Colour when it is their turn and security services honour parade, the Changing of the Guard.

The Corps of Drums
parade duties in state ceremonies where they wear the Imperial Household Dress. regimental band plays in state visits regiment musicians are trained as medical orderlies. They actually play drums, more tribal than snare drums etc. A digerdoo / Bagpipe type instrament tends to be the main sound for this group. It is as loud as a bagpipe but sounds more like a didgerydoo then a bagpipe. It is more of a stationary instrament but groups of two one playing and one carrying can make it mobile.

Only Officers Lictor and above are acting on behalf of the state, this includes the Consuls of the Imperial provinces BUT NOT parliaments. Privy Councilors of the Provincial governments are the base of what would be considered 'citizens', as they have the right to communicate with the empire. A few other agents
aslo are part of the Imperial State. Equestrians are regarded favourably and also have some general recognitions. What would be considered plebs are technically not 'free' and are 'subjects'. Officially however everyone has the right to be free and is bound by no laws but the absolute rule of divine law.

==== Imperial Chancellor Ethnarchand ==== CIVIL-ADMINISTRATIVE/POLITICAL/CULTURAL
The President of the Pro-Chancellor Chairman of the Ethnarch's council (the duma) is called the Imperial Chancellor Ethnarchand is the central figure of the Ethnarch's council. i.e. the speaker of the house of the ethnarch's. Their mandate is much like the senate except it is generally seen as a direct upward movement in means of popular or democratic electoral power. As the senate is an appointed administrative and advisorial body. The Ethnarch Council is "purely" Advisorial and is "the lower house" or lower body of the Imperial Legislature. In a way it is an "Imperial training ground" for prospective senators. THe senate can however appoint ethnarchs to sit on committees. Although the actual council in full rarely sits due to other responsibilities of the ethnarchs in regard to their provincial privy council as well as their other duties in the house of lords, and posibly even in their duties in the house of commons of the province or the legislature of the province if they are a cabinet minister. Thus the actual role of the ethnarchs council is loosely defined, and is a more selective body the the imperial provincial privy council (a grouping of all provincial privy councsillors specifically for providing information and advise to the emperor and the emperors officers (and the senate)

Imperial Arch Chancellor
CIVIL-ADMINISTRATIVE/POLITICAL/CULTURAL

It does not have a "permanent house" and in general never fully assembles except by electronic means in real time. At other times it is able to have them meet to a capacity in the lower senate house building or a given provincial parliament. The head of the "Imperial Provincia Privy Council Forum head is Imperial Arch Chancellor

IMPERIAL ARCHIVES & ARTICLES MANAGEMENT
II. PAPALCY, SECRETARIATE

patriarch empowered to invoke blessings. (administrative zones) the patriarch is equivicable to a ceasar (the ceasar is lay political and military/ while the patriarchs are secretariat and internal services. or CIVIL and military. autocratic authority as a pater familias over an extended family, that family is in essence the church as a whole. IE each patriarch is the "chair" of all the senators for the various types in Interior DIvison services and is the "cheif secretariat and is a "cardinal" in regards to the council of the secretariat. The Cardinal thus is a cheif advisor to the pope. Each Cardinal would perhaps also be in direct advise to the Emperor if the pope were not available etc..
each patriarch has a "large church complex with a Cathedral"

"General Authorities" of the church, oversee the temporal affairs (buildings, properties, commercial corporations, etc.) of the church and oversee the bishoprics of wards (congregations

POPE (HEAD OF THE SECRETARIAT AND CHEIF ADVISOR TO THE EMPEROR
"Primate, chief pastor, president of the House of Bishops" Secretariat
Archbishop or Primus The civil and military line compairson to Emperor and pope is not a "military civil line" The Emperor also has the "executive authority" while the pope has the "administrative" authoirity. That is the pope would be on par to cheif military advisor, or the cheif justisar, the logothe of the drome, however in Essence is "the most senior civil servant" however the senate in effect "manages"
the Imperial Interior or State, as the senators form into an overall body in charge of their respective internal services and interaction with the provinces. The pope is the "cheif secretary" of the empire or "liturgy" thus manages :communication, not communication as in telephone systems etc.. as that is infrastructure services but the way words etc.. are communicated" as such has only "purely" civil duties". The popes estate is much like the "forbidan city or the vatican"

The Pope's counselors (legates) (cabinet)

Imperial Clerk Marshal
Is incharge of all wills, title deeds, census lists, conscription lists, orders, memos, tax lists, letters, journals, inventories, regulations, and trial transcripts. assists in administration of collecting taxes and fees, publishing documents, keeping state records and assisting in the enforcement of the Imperial justice. Has a staff of Remembrancers. The Remembrancers serve within the various house councils as well as being dispatched to Imperial Councils and the Imperial Senate to act as secretariat to keep a record and keep those at the meetings informed as to what was discused.

standing committees and courts, the departments of administration divided among them
Only the pope himself can speak finally in matters of faith and morals each office is headed by a cardinal, and its work is handled by trained canonists (cardinal deacons and cardinal preists)

I.S. External Division (The Office of the Logothe of the Drome) diplomatic relation with foreign governments and international organizations

I.S. Internal Division (The office of the Chancellory) communion public worship of the Latin rite, liturgical books, and the like, including sacred music and art, canonization and verifying sacred relics, Causes of the Saints, Latin rite; the Congregation for the Clergy, all concerns relating to all secular priests and deacons

"officium de scriptor"
I.S. Secretariate (Secretary General) distributes encyclicals and other official documents oversees the official media and the press office the church's statistical bureau, recommending candidates for bishop and establishing dioceses

"officium de notarius"
I.S. Judicature (Cheif Clerk of the Judicature) Doctrine of the Faith
the court of final appeal ~ essentially this body acts as a "mediator" that is a cardinal deaon or cardinal preist will "mediate" an issue between two parties that may otherwise go to the JUdicature proper, and attempt to work out a "non forcefull" resolution, that is no determination of "death, exile, or dismisal" or effectively this is the territory where the "justice of the peace" would previously take the ground of. However an appeal from this office would "actually" go to a magistrate, who "does" have the power to "enforce" and levy a warrant. the justice of the peace is actually a level two Judicature position where as this office holds no power to enforce. "It could" however bring a case before a magistrate as a "prosecutor". If the office feels that there is a substancial issue. AND that issue would be brought :immediately" to an Imperial Justisar, not provincial or local in nature. Essentially only :for serious issues, however the body is to act on recommendations of the party that requested it's Nuetral i.e. veiw of the state.; The mediator could use the records keptby the office to give examples of what past views have been, to bring to light the posible repercussions of brigning the case before the judicature. So it is a type of combined legal aid and mediation that can turn INTO the crown attorneys office. i.e. must like a justice of the peace BUT WITH the powers to give legal advice socio pro bono.

I.S. Emergency Services Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments :this is a type of oversight of Emergency Services, it keeps emergency services records records all incidents of use of force, takes witness reports and any complaints or informations. Manages all records involving emergency services or Emergency Services information requests i.e. background information and otherwise. They may also act as prosecution BUT ONLY when pressing charges against emergency services generally for an act of treason or corruption. So it is sort of like an OCCPS or internal affairs, however they do not conduct an investigation, they only act on information they gain from other sources, including from OTHER emergency services informations. However the process would then usually be taken to a lictor or above level and once again this secretary would contact an Imperial Justisar more like a federal court. The Imperial Justisars have direct lines of communication and are authorized for inquisitional trials, including secret investigations, generally only in regard to "issues of state, or the empire." spying sabatouge corruption of office etc.. of course a party could attempt to appeal directly to an Imperial Justisar rather then going through the secretariat however the secretariats office may be more direct in means of insuring safe communication as it handles a variety of informations, thus would perhaps not seem as :suspicious: the office doesn't hold executive powers but has the right to prosecute or bring a case to the judicature who can in turn issue warrants.

II. IMPERIAL SENATE (UPPER HOUSE - HIGHEST LEGISLATIVE BODY & CREATES IMPERIAL COMITEES)
the senate is housed in the CURIA

The senate is a legislative body that submits proposals to the Emperor, such as plans for changing the administrative structure, major trade proposals, alliances, large scale public works. The senate has the highest ranking officers as appointed by "the emperor, and are generally former arch dukes, and kings. or grand dukes and princes, or from among a imperial privy council (or a former Imperial Chancellor (or imperial chancellor ethnarch)but it doesn't have to be, it can be anyone. (generally only equestrians and patricians though)

if the Sentate vetoes a law passed by a lower house , the two chambers are mandated to form a Conciliation Committee in order to form a compromise document, which would again go under vote by both houses. For a law to be reaised to the Emperor it must have a majority. The Emperor can veto the request, however, if the emperor vetoes the request then the seym may vote to veto the Emperor's veto, if the Seym veto's the Emperor then the Emperor may "demote or fire" ceasar's. If the Emperor is vetoed by the Seym a referendum may be proposed to the Imperial Assembly and/or the Imperial Landsradd. The result of the Referendum is binding by a majority of the Assembly or Landsradd. If the Assembly and the Landsradd are in disagreement then the Casa Militar is given the final vote, If the Casa Militar votes again the Emperor the Emperor may resign or declare a state of emergency or to let the proposal pass. The Upper House (The Imperial Senate) may form comittees from any of the lower houses (Imperial Duma, Casa Militar, Imperial Landsradd, or Imperial Assembly) The allowance of a comitee to be composed from anyone in the Imperial Assembly essentially means any politically active individual can be part of an Imperial Senate Comitee. But only those who have support of one person exclusively.

The Senate has the powers to-change borders of the provinces (the Consul's for the provinces involved must have unanimous approval, and a majority vote of the senate must also occu

==Caesar== IMPERIAL POLITICAL 2 Grade 25 The Heir Apparent to the Emperor exercises many of the duties of the Emperor in Training generally no one under the age of 60 will hold this rank. (must be a senator) (there may be more than one ceasar, and typically there is one ceasar for every continent of presance or adminstrative region) The Senate must elect one of the ceasars to replace the Emperor upon retirement, generally upon advice of the Emperor (if they are still alive, or by the Imperial Privy Council or former Emperors, or both of course they do not have to, they may hold this rank until 114, but may retire at anytime) Supreme Commander under the Emperor of
their respective Regions

(this is essentially the head of the Imperial Forces Imperial Command, Lictors and Imperial Gaurd) Each of the three divisions has a praetorian praefect i.e. regarded as one of the second in the empire and are quite popularized.

==Praetor Urbanus== Grade 23 (is the Mayor of the Imperial Capital) this is usualy a

The adelantado (a military official) is a "assigned Praetor specifically for occupation prior to assignment of a marquis and terminology of the territory as a marcheland. For large conquests, an adelantado may be assigned until full incorporation of the territory as a "full provience" etc..

emperors approval or the respective ceasars approval if they are unavailable (dead, or
unconcious), or where the emperor has previously given the senate the option of
launching a directive they may do so upon agreement. (The Emperor does not require
the senates approval to act. but not having the Senates approval for an action can be
bad business)

III. IMPERIAL DUMA (LOWER HOUSE)
Duma ~ the ethnarchs council or what of all the privy councillors as being part of a greater Duma Imperial Duma (Lower House (Provinces))
The Ethnarchs council is Äthe Lower HouseÄ of the imperial legislature, with the ÄSenateÄ as the upper house.
The Ethnarchs council has the right to "petition the upper house to review it's proposals and pass the proposals in the upper house. Finallz the Emperor can veto a law passed bz the senate.
Ethnarchs council -> Privy Council -> House of Lords -> "The Public" positions in the House of Lords are gained either by the ministers from the House of Commons or by those Lords appoitned or elected by the public or imperial officials. The Privy Council isself is elected by the House of Lords as a whole body and the representatives of the privy council may or may not be publically elected. The privy Council itself then elects a representative in the Duma and Ethnarchs Council by popular vote and that seat may change at any time upon a majority vote of the provincial privy council.
The other imperial bodies that may be seen as part of the Imperial Legistlature would be the Imperial Landsradd or Imperial houses Council and the Casa Militar



--------------------------
--------------------------
IV IMPERIAL LANDSRADD a.k.a. gentis eccelsia (kin assembly)

Imperial Landsradd (Lower House (Imperial Houses (Legal, organized families/alliances, structres)) The Head of the Imperial Landsradd is by default the Emperor however the landsradd by popular vote may nominate 3 other individuals from the landsradd to sit in the senate. Landsraad assembly of all the nobles in the Imperium. These nobles almost always come from Houses Great or Minor.do not individually approach the power of the Emperor fiefdoms, financial and political power, and Imperial favor. The Houses are not :necisarily: tied into administrative ranks of Duke or Count Viscount etc.. those are Imperial or Royal titles. While the Houses themselves are assigned by "allowance" that is it is a territorialless political party or unit. Anyone may make a "house" however the most powerful houses will be much like a party structure. Anyone Who has a post in the "State" is vaugely seen as part of the "Imperial House" Although they may also have "non imperial" house ties.



landsradd dispute resolution, political organization, raise issues that may not be raised in the "provinces duma" give voice to the "organized publics oppinion", facilitate "private" initatives not composed within the guilde structure, social programs etc.. status of fueds (peace making, rallying support etc.. "judicial" arrangements and agreements.. "social treaties"

The Landradd high council is composed of the 5 vote getters of the landsradd high council, which was decided by the drawing of lots, and presiding officers, who were elected by the body at large. Votes were determined according to the population spoken for by member governments. plus four mutually agreed represenatives on the council 2 from major houses two from minor houses. These are nominated at large with a vote on each (with majority success.)

Minor Houses have 1 vote (under 1000 members) * as you can see "many small houses can out vote "major houses" however major houses have some privledges minor houses do not.

Major Houses have 5 votes (under 5000 votes but more then a thousand)

one vote is gained for every 1000 people over the 5000 limit for major houses

major houses have presidence of delivery (the highest population house delivers first, votes first etc.. and has prefered physical seating.. and so on down the population line. There is a "reserved" portion for the minor houses around 10 to 1 (that is for every 10 major house seats one minor house seat is set asside for the "presidence of the minor houses.)

major houses may be specified for ratifying other lower house legislation, before sending it to the senate.

Major houses may have "observer status in the senate and may petition the senate in the time allocated to do so in the senate (minor houses may petition via the delegated landsradd speaker as choosen by the emperor.

The largest major houses get senatorial status and effectively are "senators with full votes in the senate (ONLY the top two!) (meanwhile two others are voted on by the whole of the landsrad via votes, finally the emperor chooses the last

Primary houses 500 , 000 or more have special status (and are given "gaurentied sitting" in the landsradd (or prefered or primary seating and primary preference and initial voting or they may withhold their vote until the end of voting)

Imperial Houses 10,000,000 or more have special status (and have a seat on the Imperial Landsradd council) they have all major and priary house benifits. (their votes can effectively "veto" motions, "10,000 votes" is equivlent to 10,000 minor members. Generally a vote with just the Imperial Houses and Primaries is a way to "clear the field" for more important issues. Emergency or "High Profile" sittings of the landsradd may be voted "exclusively by the Imperial Houses and the Primary houses.
In emergency sessions votes tranlate to primary houses having 1 vote and Imperial houses having 20.
The Emperor as the Imperial Crown house has 100 votes. however may only vote in emergency sessions or as a tie breaker. Emergency Session resolutions only hold until the next "non emergency' session at which time a full vote is allowed to change the agreement of the resolution.
--------------------------
--------------------------

V. IMPERIAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY civis eccelsia (general or citizens assembly)
Imperial General Assembly (Lower House (Civil Body (popular)))

The Imperial Assembly is modeled on the CAC while the difference between the Imperial Landsradd and imperial Assembly is that the Imperial Landsradd is exclusive of Imperial Houses that are legally organized.
The Imperial Assembly is composed by a purely popular vote and is "Wholey Imperial" In nature.
The President of the Assembly is the de facto most "popular" vote getter

While the assembly does not have the power to pass laws exclusively The president, vice president (second highest vote getter) and the highest combined vote getter (where members of the assembly may merge their votes in a "block" of represtation) and the second highest combined vote getter. One inidivdual may be nominated by the Emperor from the assembly to sit in the Senate as well to represent all other parties in the assembly.



General Assembly Mebers (5 democratically elected via an electoral system by ALL Dian citizens 2 open popular vote 2 by combined vote of members who received votes and one appointed by the emperor from those with any votes after the second round.)

- The Assembly Council - after the first two rounds a third vote is held ALL individuals that have been voted on may pool their votes, highest votes get preffered sitting status and delivry status etc.. with a major quota and a minor qoata this is the 1st Council Only 101 councillors are allowed to sit each having an equal vote the Emperor's appointed person acts as a chair for the 1st Council of the General Assembly. The 1st councill are "paid councillors" and part of the Imperial Government. (only the top 100 councillors are payrolled, although others may still vote (IF and ONLY IF seating is available ~ extended councillors recive pay "for the days in attendance" and may observe proceeding or petition the council. the council may send peitition 1st council petitions to the senate. The speaker of the 1st council is appointed by the emperor after the 2nd round AND has senatorial rank and is the medium of delivering 1st council peitions to the senate.


In the second rount the 100 councillors vote on 9 grand councillors - those 9 councillors are given ovserver status in all other houses and act as an advisory council. the Grand Council of the General Assembly has preferred petition status to the senate and observer status " but does not have senatorial status only those elected in the first and second votes of the general assembly have seating - the grand council may send "(1) voting representative to the senate.in events of voting and ties equal vote getters are then revoted on, if a tie contues then those voted on do not vote, if still no resolution then the speaker of the 1st council (even though not a member of the grand council breaks the vote.


VI. The Guilde Council
The Guildes are "seperate" from the empire however "loosely" are goveernmental institutions, the guildes have borad "private" sector operations that do not compose the "core" state monopolies. THey also serve as "organizers" of smaller groups. Small businesses apply for a "guilde grant. They "buy" thier right to "prefered sale" of specific goods in an area, or a fraction of the sale quotas set for a specific area, which varies from good to good and area to area. The highest bidder "wins". Individuals sellling without a guide contract can get into trouble with the guildes mercenaries. (although small sscale trade is still allowed "setting up shop" would be difficult, it is much like a business liscence but is not prone to great competition. Some goods are "made" luxuries to keep prices up and a mostly unorganized blackmarket forms up mirroring "the guilde". however it is done is great secrecy as to be found out would most likely result in death and destruction by the guildes mercenaries. Everyone who has a contract has 1 vote. on their specific guildes business, however the votes themselves count for little. The Regional "name of guild" Guild Directors buy thier office, those with votes can "impeche the director", but must pay the director back their bid minus the fraction of time in office worth of the funds. This can result in short term and pricey stays in office. Effectively they are like voting stock holders who can vote on the CEO. However regional directors elect one of their own to be "the head of the specific guilde. While each guild is "a seperate" institution i.e. miners guilde, or toy guild etc.. they have a greater council (although generally attending with appointed proxies that works out what each guilde is allowed to take under its wing (either by buying the "patent" from the guilde or by politically handling it. It is also a sort of WTO body and the guild can create comitees etc..for guilde business. The emperor has a "mock" guilde "the Imperiala Guild, or popularly refered to as the EMperor's Guilde. The Guilde directors swear a loose fealty to the Emperor and are an informal economic council although secondary to the Empires own aediles etc.. as they generally form from very sucessful and required guildes businesses.

Individuals who hold votes in the guildes also have "stock" in terms of selling their guilde vote, this practice has turned into a type of stock market. While the business owner still maintains the right to conduct business within quota it sells it's vote at some set price "that also has buyers now turning into "dealers of guilde votes" Since there is a set number of stock, depending on the quota's given in an area, the quatos loosely translate into stock. Traders then sell the accumulated stocks.Gaining "power" and having a greater capacity to impeache regional directors and install their own directors, and if efffect taking over the whole of a guilde.


members of the guildes council are called "cohors" factions in the guildes are called cohortis

"officium de comparo" is a branch of the Emperor's guilde charged with empires purcahsing.

*FT note- Space

Due to the "great expanses" the guilde is not as "effective" in controlling trade with other plannets although the spacers guilde is one of the most powerful guildes due to the power it does yeild especially in terms of providing cargo's ( this guilde is different this way that it is "also a business" and not just a
The spacers guilde has a special relationship with the Emperor in that it has a charter "which exempts it" from takeover due to assets. Instead it has a special clause that obligated it to follow orders as a merchant marine under command of the Imperial Space Command in times of emergency. While in times of "devestating or dangerous" wars, the empire has the right to convert the spacing guilds spaceships for military uses. In these instances the empire has to have approval of the Seym.

VII. CASA MILITAR housed in the Imperial Arx (de custodia), with lesser Arx's the Ceasars' area Arx, Kingdoms/Provincia have a seperate knightly order and administrative structure.
(Emergency Services as well as Arch Dukes)

A vote in the casa is called an acies

The Dian forces are refered to as "custodis" rather than Militia. Imperial level forces are refered to as Custos. While the Higher ranking memebers of the "Secret Service/Police/NSA/KGB etc.. are refered to as Lictors. The Command Staff are Generally refered to as Dux, or Magnus Dux or Dominus Dux.

The Imperial forces call their equal military class frater, and their "superior class" pontif when speaking within their rank and file structure. All soilders under the Imperial Gaurd Rank are called iuvenis (custodis) by Imperial Gaurd (Custos) and above; while the Non Imperial Forces address imperial guard and above as vetus (custos). (roughly Junior Gaurdian, or Old Guard).

The Imperial command staff organizes and recruits through various channel, the Lictors, spies and intelligence agents although the core intelligence bureau and not the field agents are a seperate body although often recruited from the Lictors, not exclusively. Thus the active bureau falls under Lictor service while the support bureau fall under the Intelligence service, although both are part of "Emergency Services or the Custodis, the Lictor service is a Security Service while the Intelligence service is just that. *there is also a "health" service. The three services are run under different central command structures but merge together at the Provincial Level. Each branch is a form of specialization, the intelligence and health services are generally non combatant occupations, and service those not fit enough for higher combat service but still capable of mental service. Healtha nd intelligence are a way of retaining otherwise aged out soilders that show good capacity for the prospective feilds. They can then continue to advance in the noncombatant ranking system.

Lictors: State Security Committee of State Security) - responsible for the political police, counter-intelligence, intelligence, personal protection and confidential communications.
intelligence and overseas special operations (Inostrannyi Otdel);
counter-intelligence; personal security for high Imperial and Provincial government officials

Conduct of intelligence work abroad. Battle with espionage, sabotage and terrorist acts organized by foreign Special Services on Dian territory. Penetration and liquidation countra and counter-revolutionary organizations. Oversight on ideology of Dian society Protection of high
Lictors conduct spying/intelligence gathering, assasinations and sabatouge, especially political assasinations, Secret police/National Security. They conduct "surveillance, including communications interceptions, and indepth investigations.

Lictor Departments - Government Protection ; operative ; Technical and Operational ;counter Intelligence ;secret political ;investigating service ;Imperial Palace Branch ;codes and communication
;admin; economic and financial ; censure. Lictors have networks of informants, often drawn from their business offices or trade partners, but coming from all walks of life. They often set up research companies and insert field agents, things as simple as road use surveying or nursing, to gain privelleged information. Transport sabotage behind enemy lines

---------------
The Militsiya - former emergency services personel may join with a given provincial Militsiya
general police functions and criminal investigations. They have "psuedo official police powers" equivlent to amicus curae in proceedings, even if they are not prosecuting. They can still join the process. Also they are posible appointees for official police services if they are "elected"/appointed. "Police" Service still counts as active service time, and police may still take ranking examinations after the year, but only for land years. Thus local police often serve in an area on their ground years rotating out for their sea years, and leaving if they make air ranking until they retire in the 30's or 40's, to return to a upper police rank which could lead to baronial rank or higher ranks.

Members of the IRR, don't drill, nor do they receive any pay, but they are subject to recall to active duty at any time during their time in the IRR.

These are composed of the Remainder of provincial Emergency Services personnel lotted into the Emergency Services Security Branch.

- the casa militar may vetoe any order in regards to Imperial Forces, however each Arch Duke has the right to either support or abstain from support for a military action. Those forces loyal to the Emperor will follow the Emperor's orders. The Emperor maintains the right to apoint demote or fire any arch duke. Likewise all forces there under may as well be appointed demoted or fired as deemed by the chain of command in regard to following the Emperor's orders. It shall not be considered illegal to vote against the Emperor's declared course of action, nor is the Emperor required to approve a course of action determined by the casa militar.
The Emperor's direct forces are that of the Praetorian gaurd and other Imperial House forces and gaurd. No baron or duke is obligated to follow orders of the Emperor if they disagree with that order, where posible a formal protest should be sent to the grand / arch / duke or to the Emperor that issued the protested order and may be required to stand down from the title they have been granted.
- the public has a responsibiity to uphold the Imperium and to follow their beleif in regard to the best course of action for the benifit of the Imperium. Every individual is soley responsible for their acts.

- these roles tend to fall outside any command structure except the Emperor. Effectviely all positions within the Security Management 'are exclusive' of the other forces, and hold no other powers, with ceremonial exception to the Magister Equitum (master of the horse) who technically is the Supreme Commander of All Imperial Forces in name of the Emperor.

A supreme allied commander 'under' the Emperor is closest to the Magister Equitum OR the Casa Militar, although the Casa Militar is an 'Martial' planning body NOT a Defence or Conflict body.
The Casa Militar's role is to advance the Empire by martial use and to insure the Empire is
maintained. While the Senate is 'Progressive' towards cultural objective. The two are different, bu t intertwine. To say the Imperial Houses are concerned with the general advance of the Empire while the Casa Militar is concerned with keeping a capable martial force, while the Senate is to serve the Interest of the whole of the Empire, and the Imperial House and Emperor is to advance the objective of the Imperium as determined by the various contexts including foreign interaction. The Imperial Houses can go about their personal business in their house names, while the Emperor's business and the Imperial House is the business of the Empire, Emperor's have no private life while in office, and are closely monitored in retirement although gaining most of their previous private allowances, but still need to arange for travel 'political' activity, also they tend to still be in formal employ of the Empire, in the Emperor's Imperial Privy Council, and/or consumed with other advisorial or ceremonial roles until death.

=Magister militum= ("Master of the Soldiers")shogun or generalissimo is the head of the all Casa Militar. the senior military officer of the Empire.
Casa Militar (Military House) The Casa Militar is represented in the senate by a number of praetors.

=Magister militum per ____ CEASARATE name=
The title was often used with a provincial name, such as the Magister militum per Intracircumcordei Magister militum Farland ("Master of the Soldiers of Farland"), to indicate the commanding general of a region. This is one rank up from 'Praetors' Generally it is the Military Equivlent of Ceasar and they are much like the Emperor's Lugal only they do have authority to act on advice of the Emperor. Often they will be voted from amongst the validated contenders in an area within the Casa Militar, it is must like the president of the House for a given area within the Casa Militar, much like the Ceasars as elected by the Imperial Houses general like Ceasar the Emperor is has discretion to allow and is generaly the person to nominate.

To compensate for this out of zone controla legatus is assigned to each governor General (for military affairs) and to each Provincial Commander to act as an Imperial Advisor, even though both the Govenor General and Provincial Commanders are very likely to be qualified, they will most likely not be as old as the Legate, also legates are voiced in other areas such as knoweldge of operations performed by lictors and other special operations groups that a force commander may not be aware of. Also
the Legates also are part of the Imperial Intellience and Security Council which can be a means of sendin information without disrupting the command structure. They technically have no command powers over the forces they oversee but in cases of emergency, coupes or other problem times they can issue proclimation of overturning the commander of the force, usually with secret premission from the Emperor itself.

- HOUSE OF COMMONS



####PROVINCIAL ####

The Provincial Structure is composed from LEVEL 6 and beyond. Members of this level of government may also share repsonbilities on level 6 and beyond roles. The Provincial Government is divided between "The Upper and the Lower House." However, this is generally not a "divided house" Rather Member of the Lower House also sit in the Upper House. Those individuals are " Cabinet Members and Provincial Senators. The Kingly Appointed Lords (Royal Provincial Lords) that sit in the upper house are so chosen from among the Provincial Senate; however, the Viscounts themselves do not sit in the Upper House, except when they petition or are summoned, intead they concentrate on managing their viscounty and generally are not involved in the law making process, except when required for the operation of their viscounty. Counts and Princes However DO have sitting in the Lords, the Counts sitting is not predetermined though and they sit in general. The Princes, Do have predetermined sitting and in General are "permanenet members of the Lords" and have precedence in the lords after any emergency called by the government cabinet. The Princes may also call emergency for the Empire, when the king or governor general is not available.

The Provincial Government is secondary to the state. The state is headed by Totus Fides the Voice of the Almighty equivical to Holy Emperor. The Government has a number of divisions but they are 'state' departments Interior, Exterior, Emergency Services and Sovereignty Affairs. There is a house of Lords, and a parliament (senate, and house of commons). Each Imperial Province has a seperate government, that is identical in composition (in algorythm) The various Government have a capacity to create the Senate and thus to place ceasars to head the Empire although essentially it is the Emperor who appoints many of the Senators especially the Consuls, however in general, it is staff of the Government ESSI division that end up in many of the Senatorial Roles, it is
technically imposible for someone to be a senator without having served in the security
forces, except in a case of bizarre exception, perhaps for financial Senators. The Empire is thus a theocratic dictatorship, with communistic tendancies, and a constitutional imperium. While the government is democratically elected and appoint but oversaw by an appointed commander that is part of the Imperium. The private businesses are very indepthly interactive with the state and the corporate heads are a form of aristocracy having fuedal like domains and private security forces.

==Elections==
Government is by claim and allowance, as everyone has a right to fued or to represent the almighty, thus anarchy in some sense prevails from time to time as personal civil wars rage. Elections are not 'state' organized they are pubically organized by the government. They only hold true to who allows the parliament to take place and who is allowed to speak etc.. Although the govenor general has the capacity to side, especially on orders of the government Judicature.

==Provincial Governments==
The govenor general (consul) (there are two but one serves as emisary to the empire and one to the province although both have the same powers) is in turn 'appointed' by the Emperor and in effect is the 'head' of the privy council (not the president), although both bodies are 'seperate' and united. There is an odd posibility that the president is the govenor general, however in these cases 'a new govenor general could be appointed and the old govenor general would still remain president.

=Imperial praepositus caput=
Each Imperial Provincial Capital City has a Imperial Praepositus Caput, they are essentially in charge of the city in regards to all Imperial Occurances happening there. They report to the Imperial Consul (or govenor general) (essentially a "second in command in both the Imperial and Provincial Circles) appointed by the Emperor.

=Imperial praepositus urbs=
Each Major city 100,000 or more residents has an Imperial Praepositus Urbs that reports to the Govenor General of the province in which they are in.personal representatives, Usually a retired local notable, a senior officer, peer or business person is given the honourary post. uphold the dignity of the Imperial Crown, seek to promote a spirit of co-operation and good atmosphere by the time they give to voluntary and benevolent organisations and by the interest they take in the business and social life of their areas Organizing for Imperial visits and escorting Royal visitors Presentation of medals and awards on behalf of the Emperor and advising on Honours nominations; Participation in civic, voluntary and social activities Liaison with local units of the Imperial Legion and their associated provincial and cadet forces Leading the local magistracy. Asssiting the Queastor and local representatives DRO's etc.. hear appeals. They are considered Imperial Superior Magistrates and are second only to Justisars in the Empire. They are also responsible to recommend to the Lord Chancellor who will be appointed.





LAY - POLITICAL
-----------------------------------
ethnarch - the Imperial Povincial Privy Council elects one from amongst the circle to be termed Provincial Ethnarch within the council they act as the cheif councillor, it need not be the president nor the governor general this is a mostly ceremonial role except in breaking votes of majority ties within the council. Also there is a ethnarchs council composed of all the ethnarks. It is the highest "purely elected" from popularity bases post in the empire, and the post in a good indicator of individuals who may be likely for senatorial rank (although the senate posts are somewhat lower in status, they are appointed posts and are for life. the ethnarch is for a sitting period of the house of lords. However the council remains AFTER the new house of lords is formed, until the new provincial privy council is elected b y the house of lords, and thus a ethnarch is elected from the council.

(within the community a shadow praetor is called a Ethnarches was the military title of a commander of foreign troops) The Ethnarchs form shadow roles such as aedile, praetor, consul etc.. in part as a means of training for those roles.

The govenor General is appointed by The Emperor and is responsible for overseeing the interior ministry and soverignty affairs in capacity of the interior and Emergency Services in capacity of the interior. The Govenor General Also has the role of making some managorial appointments, that are critical to the operation of the house of lords. The Govenor General is appointed by the Emperor (or a lt.) directly. This shows some selection outside the direct line of his appointed ceasar for the larger area (and the king that is nominated by the ceasar). Thus the King is taken from the role of appointing anyone in the house as per what role they will take beyond voting. It is the governor general who may for a number determine which individuals have special capacities in determining who can "Remain" in the house of lords. Thus effecitvely the king's nominees can b e over turned. (Of course any such instance can be appealed to the Emperor's Court. It would be a fairly signifigant occurance. Especially if the person removed was a prince. The Monarch (King/Queen) is not immune to an outing (however in general this would Immediately come to the Emperor's knowledge, and there would be some explaining to do. The only other way to remove a lord is by voting them out and in Geneal a Law lords, and ES Lords and Royal Lords can only be removed when not due to an internal lords purge for breaking some law that the house of lords recognizes, would require a law suit, by an individual against the lord for some reason, and this would be an Imperial Justisar, within the Imperial court of honour. The only effective removal from the lords by way of the court would be death sentance, exile becomes problematic, and regular procedures for removal would need to occur, as the courts can only make suggestions or enfoces, death, exile, or removal of the case (or declar war in general against enemies of the state so determined from the preceding. (make arrest warrants) and other orders such as summons. (as Justisars have "inquisitional powers" and are not limited to an adversarial decision.. of course it is NOT just the defendant that can be put to death, it is also the procecutor(s), although leave to appeal may be warrented in some cases. This gets problematic in the higher courts. No senatance can be carried out until no appeal is sought at which point the sentance is carried out. In the Interim there may be directives for release or otherwise if the individual is being held, that individual could press charges besides at anytime, for a breach of the determination and so on could be highly favoured for a death or exile finding on the ingoring of the order. So there is a more older mindset towards the holdings and release allowances, in general only for national security reasons can the state hold anyone captive.

own budget. However, salaries are controled by the Tresury a ministry of the Interior. All
operating costs are managed by the tresury, but the other divisions are ultravires the tresury.

===Cabinet Decision Making===
====political considerations====
====strategic considerations====


===Provincial Budget ===
The Tresury Ministerpresents the government’s annual Budget which reflects the fiscal
framework agreed to by the Cabinet. The President of the Treasury Board subsequently
tables the Main Estimates. The Cabinet committee’s report is subject to confirmation by
the Cabinet. Records of final decisions are circulated to all Ministers and their deputy
ministers for action under Ministers’ individual authority. Policy announcements are
made after a Cabinet decision and after the Treasury Board’s approval of any resources
required to implement the decision.

===Legislative Program===
The Leader of the Government in the House of Commons coordinates the process of
translating the Cabinet’s policy decisions into bills to be placed before the House of
Commons.
The first stage in this process is Cabinet approval of a Minister’s policy proposal. After
cabinet has approved a Minister’s policy proposal, a bill is then drafted by the Attorney
general under guidance of the Secretariat. Interpretations of the proposed bill can then
be based to The Supreme Court and the House of lords as a commitee basis for
discusion and interpreations. Finally the House can discus and then vote. If it involves
only the interior ministry then the vote of the house and senate is sufficient. If it involves
the exterior then a vote must be conducted by the exterior. Changes to the secretatiat or
Emergency services or hte judicature must be approved by the govenor general as
approved by the senate and the Emperor, if changing the structure or
organization. Role of the Secretariat or Judicature or Emergency services within the
interior may be modifed without full imperial consent but it cannot be ultravires
Imperial Law on the Services as they are quasi-imperial rather then provincial in scope.
The Exterior meanwhile can act independantly however the govenor general has final
say in the use of the services in any foreign capacity however the president has
authority to speak for the will and enter into
alliances that must finally be approved via the Governor general and privy council of
the house of lords upon agreement of the Emperor and the Imperial system, generally
as an overisght or check on processes which may contravean the Imperial
Commonwealth. .
The Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is supported in this regard by
his or her own exempt staff, the Privy Council Office, and the Deputy House Leader and
Chief Government Whip.


===The Cabinet and Cabinet Committees===
Cabinet committees are an extension of the Cabinet itself.


The Prime Minister may establish committees ?????????????/
Ministers may be invited by the committee chair to attend any meeting of a Cabinet
committee, whether or not they are a member of the committee.

The Prime Minister designates certain Ministers as ongoing members of each
committee, and they are expected to attend these regularly. If Ministers are not able to attend a meeting, they should inform the chair of their views on agenda items by letter.

====administrative====
Special Committeeof Council (SCC) in approving regulatory policies and regulations,
and all Orders in Council, excluding appointments.

====personnel====
====financial====
financial resources to departments and programs.
====organizational practices====


===the Cabinet secretariat===, the Privy Council Office provides the Cabinet and its
committees with the support required to prepare for and conduct meetings, including
arranging meetings, circulating agendas, distributing documents, providing advice to
the chairperson of each committee on agenda items and recording Cabinet minutes and
decisions.


====Orders in Council====
are legal instruments made by the Governor in Council pursuant to statutory authority
(or, infrequently, royal prerogative). Recommendations to the Governor in Council are
signed by the responsible Minister. They take legal effect only when signed by the
Governor General.


====Cabinet documents==== belong to the Prime Minister. Cabinet documents are
formal records designated by the Privy Council Office as belonging to the Cabinet Paper
System. They include Memoranda to Cabinet (MCs), decks, Cabinet Committee Reports
(CRs), records of decisions (RDs), agendas, aides-mémoire and documents prepared for
Ad Hoc Cabinet Committees or Reference Groups of Ministers.
This category also includes formal Cabinet documents related to the Treasury Board
and any sub-committees of Treasury Board, including submissions, précis, agendas,
schedules, minutes of meetings and letters of decision.
Cabinet documents provided to them are always safeguarded in accordance with the
security requirements set by the Privy Council Office or, for Cabinet documents related
to the Treasury board, to the Treasury Board Secretariat. Parliamentary Secretaries must also respect this protocol when they are given access to such documents. When a Cabinet item has
been dealt with, the associated Cabinet documents must be returned to the Privy
Council Office or the Treasury Board Secretariat, as appropriate.

Certain Cabinet documents that are clearly marked for Ministers’ eyes only cannot be
reviewed by exempt staff. Some Cabinet documents must remain in the Cabinet room.
Cabinet documents must not be photocopied, electronically scanned or sent by
facsimile, and they must be carried in a secure briefcase.a record containing Cabinet confidences that is not a Cabinet document is either an institutional record (if it originated with the institution), or a ministerial record (if it originated with the office of the Minister, e.g., a briefing note containing political advice to a m inister regarding a Cabinet matter). ====Institutional Records==== relate to the business (policies, programs, activities and services) of the department and associated agencies, and are kept in a separate registry.
ministerial records include official records pertaining to the office of the Minister, other than records that fall into the categories of personal or political records, institutional records or
cabinet documents. personal and political records are personal, as opposed to official, in nature (e.g., a Minister’s constituency business, party political matters, private and personal life) and are kept in separate ministerial files. Like ministerial records, personal and political records are normally excluded from the application of the Access to Information Act, provided that they are maintained separately from institutional records.

Ministers may remove only their personal and political papers. However, to ensure the security of sensitive documents in personal and political papers, Ministers should use storage facilities and archival services offered by Library and Archives .
Former Prime Ministers have control over the confidences of the government they
headed. When a change of government occurs, the outgoing Prime Minister traditionally leaves the Cabinet records of the government in the custody of the Clerk of the Privy Council. The Clerk of the Privy Council plays a central role in administering the convention governing access to Cabinet and ministerial papers.
Subject to any arrangements a former Prime Minister may make with his or her successor, former Ministers may have access to Cabinet papers for the period of time when they held office, but only for that period, and only to papers relating to that office or to which they would normally have had access. Requests for access are addressed to the Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary of the Cabinet

====Access to Documents====
Former Ministers may have access to ministerial records that are transferred to Library
and Archives on the premises of Library and Archives Canada. They may also
have access to institutional records that were prepared in their departments during the period
of time when they held office. For access to institutional records, they can contact the
deputy minister and arrange to review them on departmental premises. Minister does not become involved in day-to-day operations of a Crown corporation, nor does his or her staff.

The name baronet is a diminutive of the higher peerage title baron. The rank of a baronet is between that of a baron and that of a knight. it is a hereditary honour but is not a peerage and has never entitled the holder to a seat in the House of Lords; and
a baronet is styled 'Sir' but the baronetcy is not considered an order of knighthood. (has a seat in the Junior Casa basically a "purely military sort of sheriff, doesn't have "regular police like oversight duties.. just defence) coordinates defence planning for their baronet.

They rank below barons in seniority and precedence, and do not generally receive fiefs of land. A baronetcy entitles the individual to use the prefix Baronet before one's name. This tends to be both elected and acredation based. Magistrates and other officals fit into this level.

However, if the attacker was a noble,safely ensconced in a castle (as was often the case), the town commune could not muster the forces to attack him directly; instead they might attack the nobles family, burn his crops, kill his serfs, or destroy his orchards in retribution.
appointed by the judge and removable by the lord-chancellor; and every person discharging the duties of high-bailiff is empowered to appoint a sufficient number of able and fit persons as bailiffs to assist him, whom he can dismiss at his pleasure. The duty of the high-bailiff is to serve all summonses and orders, and execute all the warrants, precepts and writs issued out of the court. The high bailiff is responsible for all the acts and defaults of himself, and of the bailiffs appointed to assist him, in the same way as a sheriff of a county is responsible for the acts and defaults of himself and his officers. By the same act (§49) bailiffs are answerable for any connivance, omission or neglect to levy any such execution. No action can be brought against a bailiff acting under order of the court without six days' notice (§52). Any warrant to a bailiff to give possession of a tenement justifies him in entering upon the premises named in the warrant, and giving possession, provided the entry be made between the hours of 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. (§ 142). The Law of Distress Amendment Act 1888 enacts that no person may act as a bailiff to levy any distress for rent, unless he is authorized by a county-court judge to act as a bailiff

It corresponds to individual hamlets, villages, towns, cities, or groupings of them, which are governed by a mayor and a city/municipal council.

The Councils themselves ARE self administered, however the SHERIFF IS ASSIGNED FROM OFFICERS perhaps throughout the VISCOUNTY or in pool from count etc.. SO THE SHERIFF IS A MILITARY OFFICER (or Emergency Services office including intelligence or health) Who there upon appoints the Baliff who "manages" the "jointly elected/appointed constables the shefiff reports directly to the Viscount.. while the "peoples council goes on to form the provincial legislature.

Some comments in regard to the "military"
- Every Dian is obligated to uphold the Dian Constitution
- all Dians have the right to bear arms
-the "military" is self organzing- although integrated with divisions of government. Government military training involving weapons starts at 15 years old. self defence starts a 8 years old. while non government private programs exist for self defence at younger ages, they are not run by the government until junior school (8-14yrs) (cadet training starts in senior school 15-18)

The Mililtsia is in general the whole of the traditional military organization

The Militsia is organizes with the provinces to develope training programs, including the Youth Bodies that are like to Scouts etc.. the programs are within the provincial education program. A Dian form of martial arts called 'dian tribal form' is also tought in the schools and the martial art which includes yoga, gymnastics and nijistu akido and tai kickboxing, as well as kung fu body hardening practices is the "main" component of the physed program.

In Highschool the Youth Program transists into a cadet program, seeing firearms training, target shooting, weapons care, and assistant duties as well as "training terms" at actual military sites (generally provincial sites)

- civics and law is taught in the education system and by the time a dian finishes secondary school equivlency they are expected to know the fundamentals of Dian law. In this respect there is a strong citizens arrest mentality, as well as fuedal structure in ICCD, where as long as "the state" is not attacked, private individuals may fight freely among themselves on "just" issues. The police serve as more of a infrastructure gaurd, and home defence and investigative / information gathering compiling force for the courts and military. Arrests are not common, as most serious police actions, police are authorized to shoot to kill "in clear instances" that a 'crime' is ongoing and state property is at risk.

Since the "police" are authorized to civil capacity by the locality they serve in they also take on civic duties such as maintaining their area (light cleaning and maitenence). THe level of policing varies from a neighbourhood watch role, to investigative.

Police are also expected to be prosecutors if they bring a case before the courts; however the duty can be turned over to another person within that particular barony.

The Militsia is structured by the provinces, the militsia is not obligated to conform to a set structure.

The Most Organized aspect of the militsia is that organized in partnership with the Emperor, the casa militar or house of the miliitary.

The Casa is composed of a general staff, a captaincy and a luitenancy. In General the captaincy has the largest body.

The General Staff is composed of the Empeor's Advisors, and Imperial military policital officers, that essentially act as a medium to "greater funding" and a "standing military".

The Captaincy is headed by Arch Dukes who oversee large military districs, they inturn nominate Grand dukes, and the granddukes, dukes, and the dukes barons.

Each duke essentially commands a "division" or legion. (operational levels)

The barons oversee militsia function at local levels..

The milisia holds the most power in the Empire and almost all provincial staff are expected to complete atleast one year of post secondary training.

The militsia system is combined with the college/university system for "public and free" schooling. However everyone is essentially part of the ROTC program. This military education continues throughout service in the milltsia.

At the end of "Infanty school" individuals are expected to complete the equivlent of first year college, however course material is standardized, with electives being few.

By the End of Provincial force training (year 4) they are expected to have a bachelors equivlent. in The "bachelor derivces from "Knight Bachelor".

Military schooling and training continues, Imperial Gaurd having completed the Military Acadamy start training in studies such as indepth sciences, computer sciences, engineering, etc.. "specialized technical training as well as civil programs, such as education, and instruction (they are military officers) Top level Imperial Gaurd are equivlent to "Masters" or magisters and hold high social stature.


Lictors and command staff study programs are less structured and are co nsidered "doctoral" and "post doctoral" in nature. There are special command schools, that tend to focus on political, and upper level beaurocratic practices. i.e. training for senior government positions, analysing "sensitive information".
This level "insures" the continuance of the Empire. They compose the secret police, body gaurd, as well as senior civil positions (main business owners etc..) They are the most "potent/powerful" group in the Empire. They are "citizens of the Empire".


The militsia is a "join force" training is graduated into different "branches" however officers may switch between the branches, some however choose to be "carear officers in a particular branch of aerospace, nautical, terran.


infantry is the bulk of the militsia "more of a reserve" or homegaurd. Many individuals get one year of post cadet training and go onto a low level state job. Most individuals realize that in order to go up higher in the state structure, it is easiest done with "higher education", although the government also has training courses they are not as "recognized" and tend to be only material related to specific advancement needs, i.e. no electives.

The bulk of provincial forces "national gaurd, coast gaurd" type forces come from the mobile infantry, these forces still have "high turnover" with people going onto "purely civilian" jobs after completing their knights bachelorate. The basis of a "comfortable state company job".

The Imperial Forces are drawn almost exclusively from "carear" soilders, The Imperial Gaurd. The Gaurd is well trained, and well taken care of. Former Gaurds hold most "important civilian roles as well, managers, etc.. This is what might be considered "the Professional Military". It's primary roles "contraversly" are mostly imperial infrastructure protection, border services, but also major combat roles. They tend to be the primarily "naval, and land forces" but also have "army air" training.

a commando sqaud called the coactum ab "acer"
a marine squad is known as the coactum a durusum

the air force is called legion ab aura
the space forces are caled legio a caelum
the naval forces are called legio a maritimus
the land forces are called legio a terra


The Lictors are the equivlent of special forces, and air combat specialists. Most Dian lowscale engagements are done wholey with lictors, who act as agents, combat pilots, and ground special forces.
Many dians try very hard to meet the entry requirements, physical and mental testing, as Lictors receive a large pension, and tend to be priveleged" within the empire (essentially if you make it to the rank of lictor, you are comfortable for the rest of your life) although they also have permanent investiture, in the Empire. Lictors are given very trursted positions within the Empire, serving as body gaurds for the aged political elite.


Command Staff, do have combat roles in addition to leadership and tactical roles.

Political COmmand is almost always former command staff (not always though) and they are generally in the casa, and make most important decisions, such as how funding will be used, picking command staff, deciding on how to handle military engagements, strategic and tactical.

Senate ~ mandates required military actions, the casa may take this advice, but is not obligated to, if they do not serve much function to the senate then funding could be reduced or funds channeled to the provincial forces where the provinces and "govenor general and consul" have more powers over the provincial forces.

Emperor's military staff, etc.. THey have a votes in the casa, and tend to be "advisorial" but also directly command forces, and the Emperor also have "exterior forces"foriegn legions etc.." both for domestic and warrented foreign operations that don't have the full backing of the casa.

The Dukes Operate in their areas of operation, however can be called to contribute to exterior operations, by grant of the Emperor. The dian military is largely "defensive"; however "the kinights orders" and the casa "create" an order of battle capable of foreign engagement.

In some instances there can be a variety of "legal" forces acting on a military group depending on where they are operating.

THe main precedences are

Order of descent in the casa
Order of fealty in the orders
Area of Deployment
Honours
~ House ~ or political and legal affiliation


The most common form of combat orders is by order of the Casa, and a Praetor is assigned command of a consolidated force. The Praetor, perhaps with advisors "drafts" the force into composition. Assembling the foreign legion. This often would be by "volunteering". That is any soilders who would like to serve in the foreign operation can volunteer to do so. The body is then composed, and the praetor assigns commands within the group.

The Senate has the authority to assign a task to a praetor, the casa has the authority to "oblige the praetor", the Militsia has the authority to volunteer for service, if leave is given from their standing duties and orders.

Large Scale foreign operations can take some time to "form"; however many contigencies are set.


While the Imperial Forces can go to war...

so can House Forces (essentially political militias)
and so can Provincial Forces

however the House Forces and Provincial Forces are not "normal" forces for foreign combat, in some instances they could be.

~ there is some more information posted online at wikipedia in relation to the grading and roles of the militsia

the social office ~ the temples/churches of the local parishes in addition to being local civil administrative units also act as hostiles, or sleeping arangments


====Imperial Education====
IHRD is one of the most structured and extensive ministries it phases
into Emergency Services cadet core as military service is compulary
starting at age 12, However, it is more like a guides, eagle scouts,
first aid etc.. training then it is military training, although arms
and equipment training does occur, nothing major though just lower
grades skills training mostly grades 1 through 5, and generally it is
only after puberty that the cadets branch transists to the security
services, intelligence and health training. Those who can make
intelligence or health in many ways phase out of 'military' service
proper. No one is 'forced' the the IHRD program but very few do not.
Every student learns a minimun of five languages one including a
computer assembly language including binary (C like) and computer
literacy is eased by inexpensive laptop/minicomputers which double as
cell/vid phones. The ongoing state of survival of the fitest and fueds
leads to a very fit general population, and the food programs which see
most food rationed, due to price stoppages to a certain point, few
individuals pay the higher prices for post ration foods and very very
few eat animal products which are generally tabooed and highly taxed.
Much of ICCD's food surplus is sent into space. Education continues for
life, with optional programs wholely government funded, with payment
programs as an optional tax package.
The education system in ICCD is for life and either it continues as
government civil servants or ESSI or the private sector which
corporations tend to continue their own training programs. Combat
sports are a national passtime and casualty rates have created a
medical body experienced in treating combat related injuries.

The other segment is a local "tutoring" house or area like a classroom for the young children, instead of having elementary schools a section of the local parish houses act as a nursery and "primary" education center" and the teachers also have a mixed role along with the other parish individuals. The program is administred by the secretariat and emergency services health primarily.

an equivlance to the Cubs /scouts organization is run within the education system from (6-8) with a focus on the Honor Code, teamwork and practicle health skills including some introductions to first aid oral care and other hygine. Other skills are covered in the other main branches of the education system. Arts & Literture, Core Philosophy, and Maths and sciences. focus is on the "fundamentals" introducing the "question answer system "why / because" backtracing etc.. drawing straight lines, and the neolatin alphabit and how to "spell" language skills botth in english and french. core concepts are taught at this stage such as fundamentals of everything and nothing, taught via "math" and it's impact on something existing not existing or being an opposite. etc..

THe is also "larger" centers that serve the 8-14 year olds a joint parish area organized along the same lines as the wards., The program is administered by the secretariat, with a emergency services handling the physical program (however most likely to be E.S. health rather then E.S. security or a mixing of the two for different portions or if staffing allows a mixture of the above two primarily.)


ICCD Youth (10-12) (Scouts) is a larger program that deals with more advanced issues surival training, growing, and greater community involvement.

(Eagle scouts (12-14)/ Mandatory Emergency Forces Training begins at age (mandatory for citizens integrated with the IHRD (education system) discipline, beautification projects, tree planting. Honor Code.

YOUTH GUARD Physical expectations by end of Youth Guard (straight: 26 pushups 35 situps, able 1.5 mile run in under 14minutes 1 mile in under 8 and 3 mile run in under 48 minutes 10 seconds Guides 5 pull ups (14-16) law enforcement, human relations, human rights, Security orientation or awareness materials are provided to all front-line employees. Ongoing training programs on safety, security and emergency procedures by work area are provided. Honor Code
if they do not pass the physical requirements then they do not pass. to the senior But they can continue education privately and there are a number of private education facilities, however it is of extreme importance that they pass the physical portions if they are to have the skills requied for later in life. the program in general focuses on developing those skills over the 6 years in the junior program. Individuals with physical disabilities can subscribe to an alternate program at the end of the junior program, all in all though it is advised they seek private education to maximize use of their time, as the physical portion is a waste of time for them. In the moderated program this does not bar them from government service but does require much higher mental standards to be met.
-----------------------------------------------------------------


Finally there is the senior going from 15 to 18 (roughly) this is done in collegium or campus like centers where all those of that age attending go to the same location, within transportation reasons (this level has a mostly fully secretariat handling with the physical element handled by ES instructors.)

Over those three years the program is divided into three levels the physical portion is relatively demanding, and they are introduced to "dangerous activities" such as firing guns, and rappelling, and climing.


Grade 0 - ACadet (15-18) (members of the cadet honor board get choice of training site placement first) 50 situps in one minute 70 crunches in two minutes 11.5 mile run in under 13minutes and 30 seconds. 35 pushups in one minute 1 mile in under 7:45 3 mile run in under 45:00 15 seconds Flex Arm Hang 8 pull ups

Military History, Melee Combat Training, Basic Military Formations, Weapons Repair, Marksmanship Training, Advanced Battle Strategy, Mental Reactions to Battle, Battle Effectiveness, Military Psychology, Leadership Qualities and Development, Physical Development: First Aid, Repelling, Honor Code

the emergency services portion is not the only training done at this level and continues

it should be noted that total school hours are higher than in the US and Britain style education systems; however, there is an afternoon siesta so school goes from 7 am to 7 pm, with the two hour break from 11pm to 1am inbetwen. also there is a 20 minute break beteen each 2 hours and 20 minintes. Each portion of the day is divided into the main components. PHILOPSHY/METAPHYSICS in the morning this deals with morals, primes etc.., the 20 minute break occurs the second portion is PHYSICAL dealing with fitness and health, (survival topics) then the ciesta occurs, then the arts portion occurs (language, pottery, stonework, carving, painting, sketching etc..), the 20 minute break occurs and finally the sciences portion is done. dian eat large breakfasts and lunches and have small suppers the typical day starts at sunrise around 6 am and the day ends around sunset around 6pm student then walk home as dusk set in eat supper with their families and sleep.
However the school week is broken up into blocks of school and vacation, the school week is 8 days long then 3 days off. and it is 4 weeks on with one week off. there is no extended holiday except for two two week long "vacations"

EACH WEEK IS 11 DAYS LONG

individuals who do not pass the physical portion may opt to have a physical entry exam at the begining of the year they wish to continue, giving them a chance to retake the the physical exam.
This is also true of the written exam. There are no "grades" in classes; however comments are given on the "student" and put on record. the only requirement to passing courses is passing the final exams. Course work doesn't have any direct application.

There are private schools but "public life" is higher valued by the citizens, and leads to the much coveted government jobs, and civil authority.

During the 14 day breaks (1 week plus the weekend of the last school week) it is a big social time for students, as well as a study period. students can also do community volunteering or take other courses and programs offered seperate of the standard school system.

During the 25 day breaks (the two that seperate the two seasons. It is a time for travel, and preperation. Programs are offered in this period as well.

Also for cadet grade kids their breaks may be cadet service periods. Often they will spend a few weeks with the coast gaurd or local emergency services assiting and doing coop.
These actions are voluntary, but prestigeous.



post secondary that is free and organized by the government is handled as part of the emergency services program (wholely administered by HRD qualified Emergency Services Instructors)

The Academia is organized as:

1. Academia Militar
a. The School of Infantry: (Schola a Legio)
b. The School of Special Infantry (Schola a Legio Artifex)
2. The Imperial Military College (Collegium a Imperium Militar)
a. School of Mechanized Infantry ( Schola a Legio Mecha)

3. Imperial Universities there are "royal" universities these are for all divisions of goverment. Government employees have free adminisions if they meet the entry requirements , while private individuals can subscribe (pay tuition but may be restricted to specific courses.

4. there are a number of officer schools that are specific to government administrative posts (run by former senators and the like, only individuals vouched for by specific individuals such as a king, ceasar, the emperor, or senators may grant thementry.


the parks, and the public squares

While homes and other structures NOT zigaurauts (or stepped terrace pyramids) (and perhaps the odd other structure (and exitway) were located bellow ground

there were parks and public squares "on the surface.) the above area a managed plethora of fruit trees, pathways and some other sturctures. park strucutures such as stonehenge like equinoxial astronomical and other time keeping and geographyy assisting devices this including a variety of anceint objects. Public water fountains as well as collection sites, or where required solarpower/greenhouse veins, for co2 exhaust, and of course emergency parking locations and alternate "the main roads" roman style for when the underground roadways were for some reason blocked. and public transit hubs that connect to the subways

Around the primary zigaurauts which stretch above and bellow ground are open squares for festivals and the open market as well as parades and air landing and takeoff of vstol aircraft




TUNNEL HIERARCHY
Surface Area mix of personal and public space

living Layer (sub surface 1 up to around 30 ft undergroun)

Main transit Systems connect on this level (there are both roads passages, and tunnels that connect homes as homes have a surface door and a subsurface door (or multiples and a tunnel connected to the transit layer, this includes passageways to public transit (non emissions subway) and parking spots for 0emissions vehciles the store your own) there are also "stat emonopoly infrastructure systems such as fuel (however heating and vehicle gas (methane) fuels are the same) There are also various detection system and cameras on this level to monitor public use of the area. "Only CItizens and registered geusts may use this layer) The transport layer connects to the main highway and public transit systems (which are underground (but there are also "escondary roads in some surface areas especially around main transit lines, as well as in particularly scenic areas.. since most transit is "automated the tunnel system removes many potential "interuptions in the drive. having oneway streets the whole way and "public" parking areas near the major subway locations. Roads do not go evergwhere but where roads don't go there are walking passages. Bicycles are not common in ICCD However scooters are able to be used underground as well as roller blades as the surfaces are all smooth. And kept clean and sanitary. (as well as everything being monitored and everyone "tagged" and followed on the tracking system it "reduces" 'bad civil behavior in public places. The area is served by a mix of natural and unnatural lighting with backup power. Some important sections can also be ceiled off by fire and security walls especially those connecting to lower layers.. THis layer tends to be at around 30 to 50 ft.


Social Layer ( on the social layer depths start on the surface and can go as deep as 100ft These tend to be social interface areas, these areas are designed to serve the purpose of "community safety" the clinics, major businesses, this layer tends to be "under the ziggaurauats or arround them, essentially like mall areas, but also having extra areas for sleeping, cafeterias, education locations etc.. the "auuditoriums, and subsurface agora's libraries, underground recreation such as swimming pools, theatres etc.. are all on this layer and connect to the transport hub."Schools"

Administrative Layer - the administrative is where the government offices are located that are not housed in the ceremonial ziggaurauts, this includes main computer systems, and the non public relations/ services however there are still individuals responsible for that there. The local parish organizations are on this level. and tend to be located bellow schools and other parish building as "a block" but with a seperate entrance. So that the Government Offices are located around other important government sites. this can be up to around 100 to 150 ft under the surface, although may be less.



Security and defence Layer - the general security and defence layer - barracks and the defence schools are located on this layer they have direct offshoots to the transit layers with sealable firewalls, and controlled restricted access (entry and exit) This layer tends to be 100 or more feet under the surface

Infrastructure Works Layer - all the main waterlines and other "backup" systems are located this layer has controlled access and can go as deep as 150ft under the surface. the underwater waterways and other pipelines are also done at this level. since all sewage and waste is reprocessed to useful components it either enters the industrial layer or goes to storage as gas or otherwise.

Industrial Layer - the indusrial layer has controlled access most factories and other manufacturing and industrial works are located under the security layer with controlled entry and exit. Factories are expected to have thier own parking location able to hold this layer tends to be atleast 150ft under the surface and can go much deeper

High Security Layer - this layer is only for very important Emergency Services Secutiy infrastructures, mutitions stores, defence factories, high level computer systems (the backbone of the underground information networks and safe bunkers for very severge emergencies. And attempt to be under the crush / earthquake effect layer.


=====
In addition to each persons living area they are an arvrum agra to use for growing "some of their own food. some trees spice garden ect.. pools for aqua culture (this is "above where they live" as they live under the surface. As main living structures are under the ground


-------

Stone work and tunneling along with agroforestry are the two historical occupations of ICCD. Many objects are made from stone, bowls figures basings for furniture and chests. These are loved due to their ability to last the years.


--------

Marriage customs are based on "traditional surival of the fitest" merged with family politics. there are a number of customsthat are observed.
- arrangement (parents or other family freinds etc.. introduce the two prospetive family merges)
- contract ( the terms of the family union are made)
- the announcement (the families announce the acceptance of the suiting to their parish)
- agreement (the two agree to the suiting)
- suiting (dating) (the two spend time with one another often with a shaparone)
- giving of gifts (traditionally the male gives gifts to the female and her family)
- the physical ceremonies (the two are expected to do the knife ceremony, as well as the closeness ceremony)
- the social ceremonies (the two attend public occasions together and engaged)
- the family cermony (the family has a traditional ceremony denoting that the families have merged)
- the new family (the two then start their own home together

often a family union /marriage is also a political union, as family politics play a large part in dian life. However they don't have to be part of the same family party it is often the case.

* polygamy is allowed but is more dimensional
the two can see each other without arrangements but it is expected that if it is to be "official" then at some point it goes to stage 2. If there were sexual relations and a child resulted the union would be seen as legally void (out of wedlock / illegitimate) however that has little issue after the childs baptism.

Currency
-------------
ICCD operates a hard currency and a credit currency

The Hard currency is in "coin metal material form gold, silver, nickle, copper, etc.. and other materials" and are traded at a rough approximation of the "metal value" but may be modified against the credit value, as the credit equates to standard workhours value against the Cost of living index.
The hard currency may be switched with credit currency both ways but there is a limit on how much hard currency any individual can hold at any time. All hard currency is tracked while the credit currency is tracked by central bank computer systems maintained by the Department of the Tresury.

Barter is allowable, as well as dealing in foreign currencies, both of them count as "wealth" however oddly foreign currencies do not count as currency and are not taxed as such, they are taxed at the material value of the currency. Which allows private banks operating foreign currencies to flurish, and encourage ethnic trade to take place in the foregin currency.

Goods however are taxed at the "rate" prescribed by the tresury department. Value of goods are defined by managing the cost of goods as per cost of living for items that are publically saleable, or during audits where information is gained on the cost of goods and means of gaining the goods.

The Tresury databases largely effect export rates as materials being moved out of the Empire are taxed at their current Dian tresury value. Goods entering are not taxed unless they are owned by a Dian Citizen, or purchased by a Dian CItizen within the Empire.

Thus goods can be stored within the Empire by foreign individuals without them being taxed, but if they are exported after being stored then they are taxed export fees.

Materials may be held on foreign ships without being taxed, meaning ships can dock and leave port after offloading some goods and not incur their ships contents in whole being taxed. However loading of ships in port must be done through inspection, and the origin of goods does not matter during loading. The only exceptions is during "emergency" such as fire or a sinking ship etc.. where the port authority may waiver (i.e. the local viscount) may waive the fee if a valid reason exists. Special waivers may be given under other circumstances such as "priority goods" or "unwanted materials".

Individuals travelling out the empire need to "report" all materials they are travelling with in document form. This can be verified on search at ports of entry and exit. Falsly reporting goods as to carrying excess the goods may be confiscated since they are not the persons property. Likewise foreign vistors are expected to file a report of personal belongings on entry and exit and may be searched while entering or during their stay if required for security reasons. Goods purchased while in ICCD are taxable on leaving (duty). Goods that they brought with them into the empire originally, are tax exempt. As well specific ports may offer Imperial Goods that are "duty free" (generally surplus government goods that may be prone to disuse or expierey) as well as "confiscated items of no interest"

Dian Hard Currency is not permited to leave the Empire.

In the rare event of a goods confiscation the credit form of the currency will be issued, which can be traded with private banks in ICCD for a "leavable" currency. Or deal with foreign private banks operating in ICCD that will institute the accound.

Foreign individuals may open a bank account with the central bank, and the central bank has outlets to do this at major ports of entry, and all communities will have some type of central bank office to do this. There is a small fee to open a bank account, the fee is deducted from the account holdings.

CItizens have "free accounts" Foreign indviduals must renew their account annually (or before the end of the year) or their account can be frozen or closed. Individuals can utilized the private banks not state run to convert currencies. The Central bank does not hold any foreign funds nor does it offer conversion services.

Note that credit accounts cannot be opened by the private banks on the behalf of an individual. Some banks may "sublet" their credit accounts on debit card basis. For instance they manage funds via a cooperative bank or credit union. To avoid individual liability on the death of one of the individuals or decision to "seperate partnership.

Corporations do not officially exist as "private" bodies. Incorporations in ICCD are just that, part of the state Infrastructure Deparment. Private businesses are done on a "sole proprietor" basis and cooperative businesses are strongly encouraged for those operating within the quota system. Businesses that are in the sector and goods of the quota system will be "quotaed" if there is a short fall in subscibing members. This is done as "fairly" as posible and the courts can be accessed to despute non fair quotas.

Non quotaed sectors operate relatively free, except in regards to the annual net gains tax of 20% , however the guilde strongly operates in non quotaed sectors. (specifically luxury goods and specialized services)



System of Payment to Imperial Staff and the Provincial Government Employees
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taxes are collected locally at 20% of gains on the year from the markup in costs of generation (so 20% of whatever is gained) losses can be defered to future years but you don't get money back for losing money. transfer of debts in this fashion to offset payments is not allowable. That is you cannot buy someone elses previous debt to offset your gains. However you can pay off someone elses debts.

The 20% collection is made easier by the fact that the guildes are "the major source of business and are easily accessible. Others depend on honesty and the risk of an audit. THe cameras help too as well as total centrilization of the states credit banking system. (of course bartering and trade in other currencies isn't totally covered, however that is why insurance monitoring is important, as well as manditory property reporting / assets reporting and filing claims to "civil ownership of goods" if you don't report then you can't complain when it goes missing..

Money from taxes moves "up" the ladder that is local areas get their go at the funds first any excesses go to the Provincial Tresuries for budgets, the provinces decide what "service charges" are applied to the programs they run, so funds can be allocated to programs that are :important: while non required programs can be run as service programs .. IF there is enough interest in the programs (as individuals decide where their tax dollars and donations and subscriptions go) outside the defualt 20% but even that 20% they still have voice to the "Area" of government their funds should go to and in what proporition.

The Exterior sets it's own budget and draws from any funds left "after the Interior finishes with them (if any...) they set their own budget though... but cannot draw from nothing. as deficits are not allowed for any branch of the government, except under permission of the IMperial layer (and that requires the imperial layer to fund the ventures)

The Emergency Services ' has next go at the funds" and they also set their own budget.

The Secretariat then may draw their funds (in addition to those that were allocated spercifically to HRD etc..) essential Secretariat programs specifically for the administration of the secretariat, not the programs that the secretariat qualified individuals under HRD or other offices hires the secretariat to fill.


Finally the SAJA draws their expenses and sets their own budget.. when the saja is finished and if any funds are left then the rest becomes banked in the
Imperial Tresury that is all excess funds are transfered to the Imperial Treusry for their programs.
---------------------
Provincial Government run monopoly businesses are not run for profit but eficiency any excess funds gained from this go first to the "top layer" that is for provincial crown corporations the province gets to spend th emoney first anything left goes into the budget for the other divisions.. the local layer doesn't get direct access to those funds, only via the divisions applications of the funds. (from the top of the divisions. THis is the same way Imperial Level government generates it's operating costs, mostly through their "trade or export" controls.. since they get all export tarriffs/ tolls rather than the provinces. when it "leaves" the Empire.

There are no tax deductions on use of funds or ammount of funds earned. There are subscription modifiers for ammount of assets available. For instanvce a program may have a payment option or a % option or both. Low income individuals may be better off choosing the % option rather than the payment option while wealthy indiviudals may be better off choosing the $ option. Balancing out the costs.


Any other needs are cared for by the quoata system. All quota individuals get "money back" or credits for government programs. A way of rewarding them for being part of the program, but the credits are only useable on government services but do not count as taxable wealth. (and can be banked that is they do not expire)

Since the governmnt operates "the required" major businesses, the credits have a wide application. and allow individuals to trade goverment supplies "perhaps at lower rates than the government can provide to generate income from goverment quota credits.also quota program individuals have first dibs in order of their quota portions in the overall equalization of goods determination. That is the people giving the most ot the government have first access to the surplus quota materials.
The quota program is run by "interior infrastructure services with assistance with HRD and financial advice by the Tresury". Integration in the quota system comes with a higher sense of status, and may live at a higher standard through easier access to goverment services by default. Quota credits may not be "traded" but surplus government goods can be aquired with them and traded for profit. All optional services may also be subscribed to. When an individual dies the quota credits are "non transferable" but real property is willable as well as dian gold standard cuneus and dian cuneus credits.

The Tax collectors are administered from the senate qaestor members etc.. down to the officers who cooberate with the kingdom level / provincias. Funds are in the care of the Royal Branch until it reaches the Imperiiial Vaults.. That being that the viscount and count are holders of the funds as heads of the local bank branches. (Although Tresury Officials manage the funds, they are "property" of the local offices. All dispatches of funds from the local banks/vaults is authorized by the local lord (viscount count prince king etc.. dispatching them, as any unspent funds at the end of the year are transfered "up" as revenue to the next level.

Thus in some respects funds may have a 1 year delay on "rising" but may be transfered sooner like federal reserve branches transfering funds as required on "loan". The divions make their own budgets independantly but have a priority of allocation, if there is insufficient funds in one bank a request can be made to the next level up i.e. a viscount can request from the count. Likewise projects may be down ordered, that is if say a prince had insufficient funds they could request from counts under them, etc. or put a request to the local king. This would be done on a credit system, and funds taken remitted during any future transfers. Tresury officials can put forth suggestions on funds usuage, but do not have authority to dispense funds outside their duties. In this respect they provide information on the value of assets; plan to be able to gauge audits, manage legdgers, trnasfer funds requests etc.. They "watch" financial activity" and rubber stamp legitimate activity. They can also "coordinate iwth the divisions at various levels to assist in budget construction.

The Tresury Department "does" have it's own operating budget including Tresury Department Loans, that are set by the Interial Division in coordination with the Tresury Department. As the Tresury department is also in coordination with other branches including Trade and INdustry and general economic aids such as infrastructure.

--------------------
~~Method of Private Ownership~~
All goods are de facto state owned but may be depatriated by a 20% loss in the value of the goods with valid sale liscence ~goods may be stopped from exiting the Empire if there is valid reason to stop their exit, however the individual is likely to be compensated for the tresury value of the item. Thus sales in ICCD are not "official" at the point of sale, and may be "repurchased" at the state value, this is only in instances of warrant for refusal of exit of the materials. Specifically on grounds of great Imperial needs for the goods. If they are allowed to leave then they are taxed at 20% the tresury value ( general export tax (tarriff). Some goods are marked as duty free and sold at spefic points as such by the government. This is primarily when longterm storage of the goods is not posible and other uses are valued at less than there sellable value, especially in the case of manufactured goods.

Individuals may buy freely there are no sales taxes on the buyer. The general 20% tax only applies to the seller not the buyer and is collected annually but may be defered for "operations reasons" however a "delay in declaration" or "cloaking" of goods must be reported and approved. If it is not this could be serious issue at time of an audit.

Individuals private property is "capped" at "maximum reasonable use" with excesses being redistributed. Mass fortunes are not valid as "means to buisness operation" because major businesses are "statized" or incorporated into the state. With those individuals gaining voting power in the Infrastructure services and as well in the tresury department, as legitimate stakeholders and voting persons for interior process. (within the mandate of legislation)

Thus hoarding of wealth is diverted to "sharing of wealth" with family members "or the party of their choice" charities etc.. "politicising, rather then powermongering"

Dian credits themselves are NOT capped, but may not be transfered after death as they are remitted to the Imperial Tresury.

Individuals are not limited in how much money they can convert to hard currency (which is transferable) but there is a limit on how much hard currency each individual is allowed to hold.

This means that money transfers from one credit account to another need to happen before they die. Also sharing hard currency among close family members is suggested as inheritance should be given "before" death.

The potential issue with "bulk" transfers is that the 20% gains tax still applies to transfers of credits "for no reason" it stil needs to be declared. So transfer of funds essentially ammounts to a 20% tax at the end of the financial year if they are still held.

This can be avoided by Transfering funds back and forth so that "realized gain" doesn't occur.

For instance transfer of 1 million credits to another account at the begining of the year. Then it is transfered back at the end.

The issue with this is that if the person dies at that particular time. However this can be avoided by "transfer delays" Where as a person transfers and the other sends within the transfer cancelation period that can be set by post dated payments. However the problem is that hte indivual would have to have atleast the ammount of credits available that they are transfering.

This is avoided by "joint reciprocation contracts" where as the central bank is informed that there will be a joint transfer that is if one transfer is enacted then the second one is locked in to follow on another date.

This means that inheretances can be preauthorized, as initiated with the central bank. But they would still be 20% taxable as gains at the end of the year. So in effect if set up there is a form of inhertences but they are 20% taxable, but only hard currency is willable (as a default owner clause with the registering of the hard currency ownership. But individuals who are transfered excess of their holding limit on the currency must opt for someone else to have ownership or it is remitted to the tressury.

Courts
------
S.1 THE COURTS IN GENERAL
S.2 THE POPULAR COURTS
S.3 THE APPOINTED COURTS
S.4 THE ROYAL COURTS
S.5 THE IMPERIAL COURTS


SECTION 1: At a provincial Level highest rank is Law Lord followed by Magistrates.
Anyone can petition in court. There are professional 'lawyers' however.
The court teirs are: (secretaiat mediation), public courts (lower magistrate, upper magistrate), the sheriffs court, the royal courts (viscount's, count's, prince's, king's), the Pronvincial (Inner and Outer by Sharabs, Hyarchs, and the Supreme court in the House of Lords manned by Satraps and Hyarchs), Finally Imperial Judicature and Sovereignty affairs is also seen at the Imperial Level, by the Ceasar's Court, Impeial justisars, Imperial Crown Justisars, and the Emperor.

The public courts, popularly elected and operated by popular vote and qualification. The
Public justices council supreme electoral vote.

The royal courts are delegated by the superior court appointing the lower court. This stems from the Emperor and the delegate area ceasar.

All the upper courts that above sherrif is only accessable upon appeal, and depending on the appeal is only available to one of the two courts, royal or provincial, however it can jump between the two all the way to the Imperial Level.

Viscounts themselves are chosen from provincial senators, thus all posts such as counts, and princes and even kings are former provincial senators. Posts of these types can be fluid as posts become available up the ladder; in practice it is to fill from bellow ~ the senate, viscount, count, prince, king. Ceasars themselves and thus the Emperor, have high likely hood of being former provincial senators as well, however the emperor can also appoint former senators or kings to the post of Ceasar. The roll of the royal courts is also important because they compose the Seym, and have votes as to say who is the Emperor, while the other courts do not have this benifit.

The lowest royal court (viscount's) appoints the sherrifs court from eligible upper magistrates. Like wise the outer court is appointed by the count of that area from amongst the sherrifs within the county to the post of sharab. The Inner Court is appointed from amongst the Sharabs, and is manned by hyarchs.
The supreme court (satraps) whose roles are appointed by an outgoing supreme justice under
the scruitiny of the govenor general. and on approval of the King, as a courtesty, from amongst the hyarchs, (general hyarch law lords). The Provincial Courts are thus devided into two main courts. The Outer, mostly "interior" as it is appointed by former senators (the viscounts) from amongst the popularly elected justices. While the Inner Court is much more selective in that the Hyarchs are appointed by a prince (who is a Secular Lord) thus "nomination" of a prince indirectly is required for the Inner Court, the law lords (the provincial appelate court) is composed of "House of Lords Approved Judges" as when a vacancy is available, the House of Lords must approve the new post(from those hyarchs already created by a secular prince. The supreme court requires the kings approval to create the Satraps, from which by default they are the Supreme court, in practice these should be from the "Appelate Court".

The House of Lords Courts are different from the regular provincial or royal courts in that they hear matters that involve "out of province" cases.

At all levels cases are only heard between individuals as the concept of "corporate persons" does not exist.

Official Arbitrator and mediators are those secretariat staff in that profolio, non secretariat staff can also be used but it has little official warrant.

The Gens also administer their own civil justice or personal courts but is only sanctioned if completely internal (among members of the family) Gens may proclaim a fued as well, but is only legal if it is not appealed by the other fued party nor spills over to another gens not involved in the fued or government parties. If the conditions are met then they are "non treasonous acts", however if it is violated, they could be seen as a causi belli against the infringing gens.

The courts are in effect getting the state to support a side of a feud or mediate it.

There are no prisons in ICCD thus either the person or people will be killed sent
into exile or will have to defend themselves in leui of a communicated peace or resolution of any issues arrising from being brought to the court.
Thus the court allows communication and gathers information used by ESSI, and will enter a
fued if itself is implicated.
Appeals to the Second teir are allowable, however relocation of person
to a more allowable area may also be introduced. Finally the supreme justice is for special cases where the state may need to be come involved or protect the individual, or side with a fued on the state level.

The govenor general or King may override (stall or repeal) or act as the Supreme Judicary if so required. (the govenror general only if the king consents, or is vacant, and the King may act as the Supreme court is it is vacant or act as a pusine or cheif in a single or multiple vacancies.

Citizens may petition the Crown for removal of attainder, but it must be done at the higher appeal level then the order was originally put into force in. This is no different then any other appeal. Input from the original courts or justices and prosecutors may be called or any other individuals. The difference between this petition and a regular appeal is that time has passed since the incident, in general this would only occur for an exile order. It may also be required to reverse an area "exile" in the instance of an appeal leading to release, but with upholding the earlier exile (rather then overturning the lower death order to a full release) Area exiles could still be imposed, on any area of jurisdiction, but only "whole" areas of jurisdiction.

SECTION 2: That is lower magistrates (popularly elected)(from among anyone who has completed their secondary education, as civics and law are tought in school)
upper magistrate (popularly elected by the lower magistrates,) (The magistrates are "mediators" they do not have the power to execute death orders or exile orders but may recommend such an order but appeals in those cases are by default, They then become the "prosecutor" before the sherrif) who does have the power to authorize the orders and declare larger actions against "organized civil breaches"

The Local magistrates generally hear cases in the same building as the main administrative building for their area. The classic courtroom setup is not used by magistrates, instead it is a conference room. Depending on the need either with or without room security. Magisrates tend to dress seasonally and either wear black shorts and shirt or black tunic and slacks. In some cases heavier cloaks are worm, but seldom in hotter areas. There is no 'official' dresscode for magistrates.


Lower magistrates act as justices of the peace and "inquiry" officials they gather information and recommend how to proceed and attempt to meadiate (in many ways the same service that the secretariat performs, however the secretariat is not part of an appeals process and can be seen as pre magistrate process. The lower magistrates, then act as witnesses and give their recommendations to the upper magistrate presenting the "important details" while the prosecutor and defendant also present their cases.

In the event that a release order is not given or a stay/withdrawl then the Upper magistrate presents the issue to the local sherrif, with the prosecutor acting as a witness, as well as the lower magistrate who first hear the case, all of them giving their "reasons for an exile or death order. as well as hearing the defendants reasons for non compliance with the release conditions if they exist. The sherrif may overturn the magistrates or agree with the defedant on the release.
In the instance that the Sheriff overturns the magistrates they may appeal to the Viscount, in the case of the defdants death or exile order being continued, the defednat can appeal to the sharabs)



sherrifs??? (administrative functions) (appointed by the viscount) oversees civil actions ~ is a "full judge" with capacity to implement death,exile or release, and make warrents of war against individuals), individuals with a death order are required to report to the local sherrif like "probation" until the case is finished, while Emergency Services staff are given notice of the "issue" and any safety risks presented by the magistrates and prosecutor. The sherrif can also assit in relocating the indivudal to the sharabs grounds if requested,



viscount (administrative functions appointed by count hears appeals from the "prosectutor and magistrates" on a release order with the sherrif and defendant presenting their case)


sharabs (appointed by the count from the upper magistrates, hears cases ) cases of appeal from the local sherrifs are heard by the sharabs , sherrifs may not execute "death orders" until the sharab personally sees the person in question and verifies an appeal is not requested. Meanwhile an individual "with an exile order may at anytime request an appeal to the exile order, or request "relocation assistance" from the sharab. The Sharab also hears appeals on orders of execution.
If the appeal is not granted or changed to an exile order then the person has the right to appeal to the hyarchs.
in these cases the sherrif and magistrates and the original prosecutor present their case for the death or exile order. while the defendant. Individuals with death orders live with the sharab, not in a prison but on the local estates of the sharab. suitable individuals may be offered with employment as bodygaurd"


count (may hear cases of importance of a specific type that are on appeal from the "prosectutor, magistrates, etc.." on a release order meanwhile the sharab, sherrif and defendant present their case)



hyarchs (appointed by the prince from amongst the sharabs), hears appeals on death and exile from counts or sharabs) The process continues with the two "judicial teams accumulating giving reasons for release or enforcement of the order.) At this point "exile orders are carried out but can still be appealed, while death orders result in the defedant living not in a prison but in the local hyarchs "mansion" which also houses the hyarchs bodygaurd. suitable individuals may be offered with employment as bodygaurd" THEY ALSO ACT AS LEGAL ADVISORS TO THE PROVINCES


prince (hears appeals from the prosecution on a release order made by a hyarchs) the defendants supporters such as the hyarch sharab sherrif etc.. all present their cases for reasons for release rather then exile or death order

satraps (appointed from amongst the sharabs by the King) ) however The process continues with the "prisoner" living with the satrap in question at his estates, along with the satraps bodygaurds. (in some instances particularly suitable individuals may be offered with employment as bodygaurd"
SATRAPS ALSO SIT AS LAW LORDS IN THE PROVINCIAL HOUSE OF LORDS





royal secretary (secretariat) there are appropriate secretariat staff available to record the issues as well. Such as bispops arch pisops cardinals etc.. depending on the level of hearing, during a case they may be called to present issues or interpretation questions as they occured at earlier hearings) as well as submit transcripts if so taken, to record the histories for public records. They are to be "neutral" and do not make recommendations just give their interpretations of the information.



Lictors may also be present at "high profile" hearings or hearings of interest. The Marshalls office or bodygaurd as well as the presiding judge's body gaurd may also be present in the hearings which occur at the "homes" of the officials in question. Of course properties are "state" propety or state resiedneces and are so accustomed to be accomodated for large gatherings of marshalls, bodygaurd and others. The


"eye of the king" also called missi may inspect a court at any time - seperate from the marshall. this is particualrly ture for the lower courts.

Tresury officials or other interior staff may make peitions for release or exile on behalf of the defendant for their respective feild concerns (essentially character references) they also vouche for financial and other obligations.
king (hears appeals from prosecutors)

--------------------------------------------
Vogt (public defender) may assist someone in a court hearing (generally at a imperial Justiar level (that is where appeals have been raised to the "imperial level" ~ these individual may take on cases for various reasons generally for instances of a death sentance, with movement for exile.

----------------------------------------------

Imperial Justisars (appointed by the the Ceasars from amongst the satraps) The Imperial Justisars are "travelling judges) and operate in a large area, they hear cases in secure locations, such as Imperial Legion Bases for POW, where the appealate is housed during the period) THis may be a much more sober appeal area.) The appealate may appeal to the Emperor's court, at this time.. the defendants team is also housed with the defendant if so required.


~ Imperial Justisar ~ administeres justice ~these are the highest judges of the Empire other then the emperors own court judges.. they handle the judicature and act as "cheif justices" on courts in the ceasarite with the "grand judges who act for the kingdoms, essenitally the kindoms judges act on multijudged hearings, however it is at the perogative of the person subject to the hearing and not the requesting party to be able to opt for just the arch justisar OR for a full hearing) a full hearing may take a longer time to occur . THe imperial justisars determinations are considered presidence for the whole of the ceasarate that they hear petitions in. these are usually retired senators who have been law lords etc..

In the Great Imperial Palace there is the 'historical' first courtroom still used only for ceremonial purposes such as appointments, state maters precided over by the Emperor which is generally only reserved for impeachments and claims made by high ranking House Members and with rare exception low ranking Imperial House members, this has never been done for anyone who was not atleast a Lord/Lady. Or individuals with a death sentance, or on advice of a some support of the judicature hearning a case.

The Imperial Court is a single building that was designed to be the administrative facilitiy for the courts, it is next to a branch of the Imperial Archives housing legal documents. There is a steady flow of cases, handled by Justisars, including he Cheif Justisar when not occupied with Official House matters.

Traveling Justisars are still attached to the Imperial Court however they go to other locations as requried, usually for high profile cases. So essentially while all Imperial Justisars are assigned to the Imperial Court, they hold court at any location.


Ceasarate ~ hears appeals on a rlease order from catraps


~ Emperor's Court (Appointed by the Emperor), Emperor... chosen by the Imperial Seym Hears appeals from the defendant on a death or exile order ~ There are no more regular appeals posible at this stage the Emperors' court may also hear appeals from the cesarate on a release order

The Issue with appeals to the Emperor's court is that the determination of the Emperor's court applies to both the defendant and the prosecution teams who sustain their orders at this stage. (decisions may be changed with the person on the "Jury" going to the otherside at any time. This true along the process. This insures that all important details are given.

Alll sherrif and above levels may make warrants.

the presiging offical acts as a "chair" to the hearing
the marshalls office acts in accord to keeping the location "civil" is there is a breach by any party the marshalls office can respond.

The bodygaurds at the upper levels act to protect the Individuals in question, bodygaurds from lower courts may also be in attendance.



provincial courts

====Imperial Courts====

JUSTICE SYSTEM
Througout the Empire there are two main justice courts
Justices of the Court of Common Pleas (all the empire incorporations
(shires)) - Liberties

Justices of the Court of Regents Bench ( Regencies (kingdoms,
principaities) ) (effectively the supreme courts) -Customs

Barons of the Court of Exchequer. (manages corporate law, and debt,
financial, civil law suits) (in which case the state will either
mediate or enter the fued) Lieutenant (proviences) -Franchises

there is also the nobels (lords) administered by the law lords of a
given govenment which mediate 'governmental law' impeachements and
other affairs They are free floating under the govenor general on the
government side, the govenor general in effect has the same powers of
the 7 law lords. Technically the law lords could impeach the govenor
general if allowed, as the govenor general can 'demote' or remove a law
lord, if that was the case then a new govenor general would have to be
appointed by the Emperor. The 7th law lord is always the Lord
Chancellor who oversees the High Court of Chancery, the Lord Chancellor
would determine cases according to fairness (or "equity") instead of
according to the strict principles of common law. "Keeper of the
Regents Conscience". and only votes in cases of a tie among the other
6. The lord Chancellor is elected from among the 7 law lords. one
cannot vote for themself, whoever has the most votes becomes lord
Chancellor. Afterwhich the vote is cast the Regent (be it govenor
general etc.. would then provide a letters patent)
Finally there is the imperial court, which is the state court, which is
headed by a number of individuals the Emperor having highest voice if
passing judgement. Otherwise the Cheif Justisar is the head of the
court. The court is also a council of sorts with the govenor generals
acting in a 'non voting' role. Effectively the Justisar is the deputy
to the Emperor.

This link is for an attached xls (opened in excel...) I'm attempting to merge the positions into a heirarchy.. still sorting it out..may switch over to an access file or something of the sort so information can be included on each post within the file.(perhaps a flash file?)

xls for now anyway as a zip

---------------------

have reorganized it a bit.. I'm going to add comments to the cells in the xls for reference

The Social Order is determined on a number of items, these are:

Capacity (physical, mental, social)

Education & Training (vocation)

Qualification (Specific Posts are filled from other specific posts, when available) - thus rank and order.

All citizens have specific basic rights to social welfare as long as they adhere to the obligations of citizenship, with extra benifits being given to individuals opting to special programs.

Individuals are assured state employment, so all unemployment is a voluntary choice.

Private Business people (sole proprietors) may opt into the state quota system, but in times of surplus are not obligated to. During times of lack, famine, invasion, emergency, etc.. materials can be aquired, although that individual is entered into the quota system, rather then having materials outright confiscated. Forced entries can be challenged in the courts, and a valid cause must be shown, as well as "no harm caused", and that the claimed material must have served a greater total benifit (actus pro bono socio)

Major "essential/core" businesses must be incorporated into the state. The operators are compensated for the incorporation at book value, subject to regular wealth gains, if applicable. They can opt to stay on as manager of the branch, and gain a vote in the Infrastructure Services internal policy directive body. All employees for state companies are cooperatively given equal share on quota produced, with a bonus allocation to be distributed by individual site managers. Hiring and referal of workers in state companies is done by the provinces HRD employment services, based on information sent to HRD by the site manager. The Employees hold "voting stock" merged with union membership, this allow them to "elect" their manager; however it requires approval from the specific business sector board for that approval. In cases of vacancy an interim manager is selected by the workers from anyone designated as qualified by HRD based upon qualification standards set by IS in that specific sector. A manager may be "removed" by a non confidnece vote, only if there is atleast one other qualified person who agrees to the appointment. The Previous manager does not loose their vote in sector policy management.

Major non essential businesses, are not required to be state incorporated, but may still be subject to special quotas, in extreme instances, the same as small private business.

Government employment requires passing public service exams. Specific government jobs may require other qualifications such as emergency services employment, or passing the Dian law society (bar) exam. Lower Magistrates, and Members of Parliament, and Emergency Services require a Dian Cadet Training Diploma, with exceptions made with Dian State Education Equivlency Certificate (for those attending a private institution. Most government jobs stem from those three introductory posts.. the first two elected and the last for those who meet the physical and entry exam requirements.

The Guildes form a counterbalance to the state monopolies, like an empire wide chamber of commerce and sector regulatory body, for non essential sectors, or even as a body promoting small businesses in a quotaed sector. Businesses are politically merged, with some common benifits such as business protection services, blacklisting of non guilde members, to outright fueding with the compeition tichat isn't guilde. Political offices in the guildes are bought, as well is membership.

Explination of the Quota system and employment.
Individuals that are part of the quota system get different segments of funds
1st segment is "social welfare" - every citizen gets provision of food, water, shelter, and basic necesities such as state clothing. "No funds" just access to needed resources "these items are quotaed as needed. Companies that become "major companies" are integrated into the state monopoly. Medium and small size businesses are only quotaed if there is a shortfall for the basic needs, and are entered as part of the quota program if so.

There is a specific maximum allowance without taking the case to the courts. This is based on housing available, current food program (say3000 calories etc..) what is "requied, but it is set not on the average but the peak. (not including diseases or gross abnormalities)


2nd segment is "social credits" there are optional volunteer projects, that everyone can join, these works and public improvement provided non "necesities" such as aesthetics, craft works, non requiered works, assistive projects, tutoring, and "social wonders" such as assisting in the information system, doing non required construction projects. Planting beyond quota etc.. These volunteer initiatives give "social credits". These social credits can be used for govenment services and programs, rather then having to pay where fees normally exist.

3rd segment is "quota return". Individuals working in a quotaed sector get a quota return which is evenly divided amongst all individuals with a discretionary bonus to be distributed by the person in charge of that quota return, generally the elected site representative. The discretionary sum can be set as allowed, but must be agreed to by the majority of the workers (or else the site rep goes away.. if another is available" Quota issues can be brought to court, if there is an issue with how a quota is distributed. This quota return can be used to purchase anything that is in surplus from the overall quota. Quota Credits can also be converted at the state central bank but not evenly, at 1/2 the quota value. They can be traded as well as there is a quota "stock" exchange. The Quota return is bidded for items in surplus from highest value to lowest, however held quota value is able to be used in the following surplus, and previously held quota have presidence over the current high value.
That is anyone that does get return from the surplus in the first quota gets a shot when their level comes up, in times of shortage of surplus. This insures that the surplus isn't always gobbled up by the highest quota return. Quota income is not taxed, but goods claimed from quota can be taxed, but quota return credits count as regular funds for paying taxes if applicable, as well they can be used the same way as social credits.

dian credits can also be obtained through private enterprise or converting social credits (1/4 value on conversion) or quota return credits (1/2 value on conversion)

Any quota surplus not aquired by the set holdings expiry period (for storage or perishable reasons) can be purchased by the general public with dian credits.

dian credits are used and tracked for private exchanges. Quota can also be used as a private currency, but with the same restrictions. Social credits can likewise be traded as a private currency.however only dian credits can be converted in limited quantities into hard currency.Quota and social credits are "date assigned"

Private businesses are taxed 20% on any wealth gains, but there is a maximum wealth allowed for each individual. After which the account can not be higher (however this can be skirted by dealing in foreign currency or having other individuals act as your accont holders) there are no legal tax evasion laws, and as long as the total value as prescribed by the tresury department is not violated then it is ok. This is only for holdings within the Dian Empire, foreign holdings and wealth are totally exempt from taxation. There is a 20% flat value export tax (not gains) though. Taxes are relatively low, and allow small business to exist and large business in non quotaed sectors.

Only Dian citizens can export, thus businesses require an ammount of employees to own the portion of the wealth of private businesses as corporate holdings don't exist. The Maximum wealth is set at around 10 million Dian Credits. So a private business valued at 1 billion would be required to have atleast 100 employees, if not many more. There are small export allowances, for travellers, but are still subject to duty. Large business may make export arangements with the Exterior division and the tresury (export liscence), and is a type of "business" citizenship.

Goods may be controlled, or restricted. However, in general most items can freely be traded subject to regular rules. Export of "core" materials is handled specifically by the state.

Property is delegated by the courts, stemming from the Emperor. Deeds to property are not finite freehold and are subject to reasonable use, determined by the courts. For instance if someone was exiled from an area, it would likely result in forfiture of their deeded property. Deeds can be transfered, but are still subject to reasonable use, property taxes as a qualifier of reasonable use does not exist. Loss of use would only result if a court case was brought against the person resulting in death or exile, however a term of release could be to transfer a deed.

Deeds do not grant special authorities to enforce the law beyond that of a regular citizen, but do warrant reasonable cause in instances that go to the courts in regard to someones deeded property. Deeding for reasonable use could be overturned if the property is being utilized for a "more" reasonable purpose. Private holdings of property in large ammounts is generally reserved for posting of a royal rank office such viscount, baron, count, prince duke, specific other court officials. Since their property is deeded to the office and not the person, and is non transferable without change of the office or by the superior court i.e. only a prince can change his internal boundries thus a count seeking to change his boundries with another count etc.. for manegorial or other reasons requires the appoval of the prince, the two viscounts on their own cannot do so without approval from the superior court of the prince. Likewise a viscount and a count from two bordeing principalities would need both their repsective princes agreement as well as the provinces or kingdoms king. As far as deeding is concerned all deeds derive from the local viscounts court. So all "real estate" exchanges must be brought to his court, however, must first go through the local courts to verify there are no issues with the transfer of deed. i.e. going to the lower and upper magistrates as well as the sheriff. or in cities lord mayor, provost etc.., larger areas tend to have more routes to the transfer.

Real Property - is valued at the tresury assessed value, with affixed depreciation based upon quality of material. Aquiring of real property counts as a wealth gain if the trade value is booked by the tresury as higher. Taxes are collected annually but date of aquiring for tax purposes may be defered and with that the tresury value may differ (higher or lower). This is to insure that a full year may pass from the date of aquiring rather then year end. Material goods may be traded and may be paper willed, but are still subject to the 20% gains tax, exemptions can be granted in court, for objects with signifigant personal qualities, such as heirlooms, but restrictions apply in those cases that they may not be freely sold, or transfered except within the grounds of reasonable transfer on the earlier grounds for exemption of the tax value. The tresury can appeal and as per usual it would be handled as a regular court case; however in mind granting exemption under the terms of non transferance would be the normal action.

All dian credits are forfitted at death, unless it is arranged prior to death to have the credits transfered. Thus credits cannot be willed by paper wills, but must be in action in the bank process, and preditermined within the bank system by establishing the credit transfer prior to death, and counts as "wealth gain" so is taxed at 20%

The Administration of state is fed from the public and is maintained as a legacy system.

There are "no changes" in imperial government by popular vote, with the exception of an impeachment by the seym, reserved as a exceptional event.

While the bottom is based on popular vote and qualification the top is based almost wholey on political agenda. There is a very defined political class, however it is one that worked its way up to that position by popular support in almost all circumstances, or by military ranking and asignment. There is no "absolute requirement though, but there is a very standard system.


The main divisions of the Imperial Dian society are
The Imperium - headed by the Imperial Crown house - domus divina, this body include the emperor, the emperor's house staff. The Emperor is elected by the seym, or the administation, when there is a vacancy by retirement death or impeachment. The title of the emperor can be held indefinately, howeve in practice the post is designed until a suitable replacement can be found, at which time the still surviving former emperor joins the Emperor's council, a reserve rule body that acts as an advisorial staff to the Emperor and serves a type of minister without profolio role, for the rest of their lives. They can espcially be used to fill important vacancies until a suitable replacement is found. All house staff are hired at the discrection of the Emperor, however in practice specific indivudals are appointed while the appointees then manage other segements such as palace staff staff. since palace staff are appointed or hired based upon preference, anyone can end up in these posts but generally very trusted and capable indivivduals

within the same scope of the domus divina is is the
praetoria potestas, essentially the military, there are a large number of bodies, the most important ones are, the Emperor's gaurd, , the casa militar, the imperial command, the lictor service, the imperial gaurd, the orders, the borders, the provincial forces, and emergency services in general. The praetoria potestas is built from the ground up of those who stay in the emergency services to climb the ranks based upon capability as testing is involved both physical and mental apptitude. standars are higher the higher you go in the command. it is ranking by passing the tests, and placement based upon requirement or petition for post. the casa militar the political wing of the military is headed by magister militums voted by the whole of the house, like a "imperator" of the house. subordinate to the emperor. but still very powerful politically. the emperor however assigns the title of archduke the highest voting members and the ones who assign the titles of "grand duke the second etc.. so while the house is sepeate the voting arangement and "command responsibility is assigned by the emperor, on advice of the lugal and other key members of the emperor's war council (observers in the casa, and often former title holders themselves).

The make up of the casa is very important as it ends up controlling emergency services (health intelligence and security) or public health and safety, acting as police, national gaurd and the operational military. As well as secret police.

the seym is :equal" to the emperor as a whole, in the "judicial capacity" including determining just law. the seym has checking powers and is effectively the gateway between the legislative and the militant. seym memers serve in civil capacity as coordinators or prime ministers of different cainet at diffeent levels of government they stat at th ceasars go to king,prince, counts, and viscount. the viscount is elected from amongst the curent senators in the provincial government (not the imperial) senators themselves are voted on when a vacancy exists from the house of commons. or the house of lords. as the senate is a quasi body that sits both in the house oof commons and lords or atleast with. and does not requie an ongoing public approval to maintain the senate. where as the houe of commons can change rapidly by change of representation.

All house of commons staff are democratically elected and serve as a proxy of vote, all individuals maintain control of their vote and may register a change of support at anytime via their citizen pin, either by telecommunications (phone computer) by going to their local saja house (sherrif's office, viscounts office etc..) in person. The person with the highest vote, does not necisarily sit in the legislature, but the "consensus" of representation of all canidates (or those holding a vote for that seat" decide, but anyone may have permission to speak in the house, with the highest holder of votes having presidence.

There are also some popularily elected lords with others being office holding lords. With the senate popularly elected by the house when a vacancy exists.

The SAJA offices meanwhile are also popularly elected at the first level but then become appointed by the body and finally as appointed by the administration.

the leadership of the Imperial External division is nominated by the Imperial senate, and approved by the emperor, if the emperor declines the seym can overrule him. However like most seym votes if the emperor is overruled it can be put to the assembly and the gens, if there is a 1 to 1 tie the casa can vote to resolve the issue, if there is a 2-0 either way then it is decided. The assembly votes first. the next day the gens votes.

The senate is naturally composing from other branches of Imperial and Councils.

The duma councils stem from the provinces house of lords elected representatives from the presidential election.

The secretariat is self forming from the parish level, those from localiteis vote on bishops, with other individuals acting as preists, curates, vicars, rectors etc.. decided upon by qualification and acceptance from the bishop to post, generally decided on at the parish level then drawn fom the parishes. The bishops elect arch bishops, and finally the arch bishops appoint the "primate or pope" The pope then may nominate other positions delegated in general through the papal cabinet.

The Imperial Tresury is composed by the Interior tresury staff, and those experienced individual appointed to by the directors (who are nominated by the emperor and approved by the senate) Each major position is decided in this position with substaff) selected by the offices. To get a senior tresury staff position you have to be a tresury minister or cheif officer of the provincial tresury (lord high tresurer, minister of tresury) or a Questor or a divisional tresury officer.

The infrastructure services are decided in the same fashion as the Tresury with equivlent eligible persons for senior appointment

--------------

From the ground up.

Everyone regardless of age has a vote ~~ but they must vote themselves in primary votes. Anyone of any ages can hold any office, if they meet the qualifications, the general practice has some experience based qualfication.

The Secretariat and the Judicature are the "elective" posts.

For an individual to hold a secretariat job they must have 1 vote, this can be themselves though. But if they vote for themselves they cannot also vote for someone else. This insures a type of political nutrility or capacity.

The local populations elect parish leaders, parish leaders elect bishops. The Bishops sit in the house of commons, while arch bishops sit in the house of lords. (not just archbishop sit in the house of lords though)

Arch bishops also vote on a secretary general from amongst themselves for the province. The secretary general is incharge of provincial records and governmental information services staffing.

The Judicature is also composed from popular vote. They then elect officials for the upper judicature, based upon those qualified for the post, and receiving popular vote. Lower judicature are not payed for their service, while upper judicature are given an appearance stipend, and are given a house of office. Lower justices are provided office materials for free, and get a social credit bonus for the cases they mediate. The upper offices sherrif, sharab etc.. have residences and "courts" they serve as a method of appealing against the local legislatures or public body. The Judicature merges into the house of commons and house of lords as well, at the upper levels satrap etc. The administration is composed from the "royal administration" which is appointed by locality from the senate. The senate itself is appointed by the house of lords from the house of commons. The provincial senate, is then appointed to the office of viscount by the presiding count (of the county of the viscounty vacancy) when there is a vacancy. This process continues with counts, princes and kings. ) viscounts, sit in the house of commons, counts may sit in the house of lords, princes have established sitting in the house of lords, while kings organize the "administration of the province" but not the law, that is the house of commons and the house of lords. So the house of commons is primarily bishops, and viscounts, and barons (from the emergency services, while the house of lords has a wider mix, but largely counts, and upper provincial court, and any dukes and a seat for the provinces grand duke who organizes the provincial military.

The house of lords in addition to appointing the provincial senate, votes each year (or during a vacancy) on a president and imperial tetrach privy counsellors for the imperial lower duma. Privy counsillors in their own imperial provincial circle vote on a representative for the imperial upper duma. The lower duma as a whole body votes on the the arch chancellor of the duma. The upper duma votes on the chancellor ethnarch. Both the arch chancellor and the chancellor ethnarch have a seat in the Imperial senate, and in general are responsible for raising issues that have gone to vote in their respective dumas.


To counter balance the bueracratic controls there are the two other houses

the gens (which is politcal party vote) essentially this vote passes your vote to your civil law family ~ there are "large" legal families called "houses" the houses can enforce their own law if it is consentual within the family they can also agree to fued with other families, as long as it is not brought to a court. The body generally is used for structued plebisites, rerendums along with the "civis" or civil assembly. The largest parties by a variety of popular vote as voting blocks have represenation in the senate (5 or so seats), within the gens itself votes and gens rights are based upon size of the house. While a large number of smaller houses can have more votes, in specific seating and votes they are "nullified". Also only the largest houses get senate seats. Social credit stipends are given for the main body of the gens, as well as the civis.

The civis is non partied and is represenatational where every citizen has a vote, but there are multiple levels (3) the first level is anyone who has a vote, but seating is given by largest represenation in different seating classes, but there are electonic telecommunications and registry via the secetariat, government offices etc.

the main differences between the gens and the civis are

- gens is a legal body (and is self structuring within the individual gens houses. , civis is an represenational authority system. An individual may vote outside their gens on represenatives both of them have different functions, but the key is that the gens has legal capacity, where as the civis is a forum, or a method of raising issues from a personal perspective as a "citizen", the gens is more "function of the political family unit. While there may be no clear barrier, the main difference is gens voting versus civis voting, Civis voting is always 1:1 Gens voting is a little less equal with 5000:1 or the like with anything under the number having that many votes or classes of votes. While they are seldom called upon for "actual" law making powers, they do have represenatives that can raise the issues in the senate and thus bring issues to law. They are an over under body. As they are involved most profiled during referndum issues and plebisite issues, which in general occurs when the senate and seym agree on an issue and the Emperor doesn't. Alternatively, the emperor uses the Gens to speak on issues of the Imperial House, or the Emperor's speaker. So Imperial Issues do show up in the Gens, but not necisarily the civis, although technically the Emperor can accept votes in the civis, however in practice they vote for the speaker of the civis council and that is their vote, if they do vote for themselves instead then technically they are the speaker of the civis council, but this pratices is not convention and would equate to closeness to dictatorship or raising the office. In times of vacancy the Emperor appoints a new speaker (in the interim of an appointment technically the Emperor has raised powers)

----------

Imperial Senators come from a number of sources (the lower houses) , the imperial administations (papalcy (secretariat), Imperial interior etc.. as well as military or emergency services ranking. The Imperial senate attempts to balance out senior positions of authority, the kings council and the senate are wherethe ceasars are drawn from. The ceasars have very broad authority to compose government from above for their regions, effectively much of the power of the courts, and the capacity to warrant internal police actions. In many respects there is a base of popular creation of local laws by popular democracy, and an oligarcy that is composed historically. That being a very lifetime office line for anyone so voted into the senate as they are first in the house of commons from whatever method, then voted into the senate (they could previousy have been a minister in which case they were in the house of lords as lord ministers of the interior, then they would sit in the commons again in a permanent seat as viscounts, then if appointed they sit in the house of lords as count, then in teh house of lords as prince either as count or prince they could be voted to the provincial privy council which put them into the duma and potentially the senate. meanwhile they could be come a king or appointed as govenor general, the king post makes them eligible fo ceasar, and puts them as in charge of the provincial court, where as govenor general gives them a rotating seat in the senate. First year as govenor general second year as consul or proconsul.

Finally they can become a ceasar either from the kingship or the senate primarily. and ceasars have presidence in seym vote for emperor.

the Seym is composed of all royals and ceasars.. so the bigger areas with more provinces etc.. have more powerful ceasars in the seym. as they have greater votes, thus potentially the largest territory ceasars have a slight advantage. The ceasars are generally granted for the area they emerge from but as "Imperial Royal" the may switch posts etc.. to a ceasarate that they did not emerge from, as is likely the case of senators of the Imperial Administrational branches, which compose the "Upper" house of the Imperial senate.

The Upper Imperial Senate body is like a "cabinet" and is composed of the cheifs of the Imperial ministries logotheth, pope etc.. as well as the ceasars and emperors personal staff including lugal and magister militum etc..


---------

note: that guilde members may be appointed a position of consolodato, which is granted on time limited basis, during periods in which the guildes are serving an important role and thus should have voting and speaking rights in the imperial senate. The "head of the guildes" under the Emperor, also is given a permanent seat, in general only specific guild heads are eligible for the title of consolodato not the general guilde membership.

now have invision forum for adding info.. so will perhaps stop posting here, until a totally static form occurs (if required, or otherwise)
