Under the constitution of 1965, Frankia's Presidents must be endowed with more political responsibilities than any other single member of the French system of rule.

Elected by a popular vote to a maxium of 2 terms, 5 years per term, the President is the highest political authority, and has special individual control over areas like, Defense, National terrorities and institutions if the country is at DEFCON 2 or above. Cabinet Ministers will be appointed. The President may also dissolve the National Assembly, call new elections, or declare popular referenda should he/she believe that the current political enviornment impedes the successful execution of presidenital duties. Despite possessing extraordinary powers, the Frnkian President is not, therefore the ultimate political authority in the country, but a key partner in a form of co-operative government.

The National Assembly
The national Assembly differs from that of the Senate in diffrent ways. The National Assembly, elected from single-member constituencies throughout the Frankian State, lacks the specific terriorial concerns of the senate. The primary concern of the National assembly is the passage of statutes. The National Assembly is also charged with the important task of governmental oversight. It devotes a large amoun of its resources reviewing and monitoring the actions of the exective branch. The lower-house is allowed speical sessions for debate and questioning government officals, and maintaining special committees for supervising the policies of the executive.

The Sentate
Unlike the National Assembly, many Frankian Senators are also high-level local officals. Senators have the legal right to introduce potential amendments to the constitution. The Senate is also allowed to monitor and control parts of the Nation's foregin affairs. The upper house is also allowed to ratify treaties and modify statutory powers that may alter the size of the country.

Judical Branch

Palais de Justice (http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/783/496919.JPG)

Cour de Cassation
Consisting of six chief judges, 85 judges and 43 assistant judges. The Court is divided into 6 seperate chambers 5 civil and 1 criminal. The highest authority is the president of the Cour de Cassation, who presides over speical cases, and oversees the discipline of the Frankian judges through the case.

History

481-962 AD
Francia or Frankia, also called the Frankish Empire (Latin: imperium Francorum), Frankish Kingdom (Latin: regnum Francorum, "Kingdom of the Franks"), or Frankish Realm, often just Frankland, was the territory inhabited and ruled by the Franks from the 3rd to the 10th century. The Frankish realm was ruled as one polity subdivided into several regna (kingdoms or subkingdoms). The geography and number of subkingdoms varied over time, but the term Francia eventually came to refer to just one regnum, that of Austrasia, centred on the Rhine river. Sometimes the term was used to encompass Neustria north of the Loire and west of the Seine as well, but in time the designation settled on the region of the Seine basin around Paris, which still bears the name today as Île-de-France and which gave the name to the entire Kingdom of France.

1964-Present
The Frankish Empire has been rebulit, after the fall of Republic France. During the pre-Frankia establishment, France fell under the "Dark Ages". Very few records of the once known "France" is mainly unknown, but from the very few accounts, it was a very boring period. Many French forgot about their wonderful artist abilities and became farmers. Francs were still used, but very little of buying and selling were going on. It was Charles Boyer who was one of the few who wanted to recreate a new France, Frankia back from the ages, and to be once more a mighty European power. He started his revolution in Paris, and the influence of the "Federal Frankia" speard like wildfire across the country, and even to the state of Belgium, once never part of France. Some Germans and Dutch who were looking for a new stable country moved to Frankia, settling there as permanent residents. Instantly Paris was once again the City of lights, and the once lost people of France were now united.

"Once a Philosopher wrote through the Dark Ages, France where is she? I can't seem to find her, did she dissapear?" said Charles Boyer ," now I hope he has found her."

OOC: No fair peeking at the secret IC...lol. However, I am indeed planning to acquire control of the Panama Canal, though I'm trying to do it with some - likely time-consuming - diplomacy and elbow-grease instead of just a smash and grab. The idea of that kind of operation in a world still sensitive to military activity seems counter-intuitive. I'm more than willing to make it a joint operation, but you'll have to squeeze out a half-decent reason how you came to know about the operation in the first place so as not to appear to be godmodding - particularly since I have posted a thread to the operation's effect and I missed if you declared any intention to employ a similar one. If you can manage good reasons, go ahead and post in the Operation: Fast Lane thread. :) Cascadia also wants to be certain it doesn't appear to be taking sides in the Iberian issues concerning Frankia and Gilbraltar.

IC:

President Charles Boyer and your Government:

On behalf of Her Majesty Rhiannon o Corvidae Regina, Queen of Cascadia, I am pleased to announce my imminent arrival with Cascadia's very first diplomatic assignment to Paris, assigned as Cascadian Ambassador to Frankia.

We eagerly await the arrival of your embassy and look forward to preparing a suitable venue for your chosen representatives. We wish to inquire as to where you would like your embassy to be.

We are pleased to begin directing our corporate ships toward Frankian ports and you have Her Majesty's solemn word that contraband items will not be among their lawful cargo. All Cascadian ships are required by Royal Law to submit and cooperate with any foreign customs; please be advised that the same holds true for foreign vessels in Cascadian ports. Her Majesty does not tolerate piracy and smuggling, nor will Cascadia allow it to be perpetrated by our ships in friendly ports.

OCC: LOL! Is he even near the sea?

OOC: LOL! I have Spain and Portugal! (That was from Scand's FB).

We here in the State of Gilbraltar wish to send to the Federal Republic of Frankia an offer. This would strengthen diplomatic relations. The details are below:

1. Embassy Exchange
2. Signing of a Free Trade Agreement

The Free Trade Agreement would entitle all/any Frankian ships to enter through the Strait of Gilbraltar, paying a tax of $100 per ton. This is a discount off of the original tax-$600. However, a customary inspection would still be necessary.

We are greatful to have a wonderful and friendly Nation across the other part of the Globe. The requests of an embassy exchange is granted, furthermore we would be more than willing to open up trade between both of our Nations. Us controlling the Panama Canal would also benfit both of our Nations greatly from this lucreative trade.
