As far as has been RP'd, what people know of Kasnyia's government is thus: There is the executive, headed by the Emperor, with his actions taken under the recommendation of the Council of Ministers (the body Karschburg, as Chief Councilor, used to head before Hein betrayed everyone), which acted as a mixture of cabinet and upper house to contrast with the lower house known as the Grand Parliament, which handled day to day legislation and whose leader was the Prime Minister. Well, as you see in the other thread, I am going to, finally, map out my Parliament. But then I realized that I have not done ANYTHING with regards to how Kasnyia (and by extention, the former Empire), was governed. I have a map of provinces for my Asian holdings (all that I have left as part of the Empire), but I'm still interested in how the whole thing once looked. Also, because Kasnyia always (and still, with what it currently has) considered its territories to be equal units (as opposed to mere colonies), the government has a pseudo federal structure as well, and now I'm trying to reconcile that with the Grand Parliament's structure. As such, at the moment the GP will either be unicameral, with the Council of Ministers simply being an inherited Cabinet rather than ALSO an upper house, or it will be tricameral, with the populace-based Grand Parliament staying the same, but with an upper house consisting of equal-representation for the provinces, and then the Council of Ministers, keeping the peace between the two. So yeah, unicameral or tricameral. Going crazy. Need imput. Yeah, I could wank the info and not worry about it, but I have my pride when it comes to Kasnyia and its inner workings. |

Perhaps I missed something, but I noticed that it is either tricameral or unicameral - is bicameral excluded? And I think you should leave the topic up longer than that. I know its something I'd be interested in, but I may not have time to get back to it so soon. |

Hmm....thats not bad... And RD, Bicameral I guess would be possible, I just have to juggle governors, nobility, and the people. If the parliament was unicameral, the people would get the parliament, the governors would be appointed by the Emperor with the parliament's recommendation, and the nobility would be a sort of executive advisory board (not the same as a cabinet as they wouldn't lead the ministries). If it is tricameral, the provincial governors get to have equal representation for each province, the people would get direct population based representation, and the nobility would act as a check to both the majoritarian parliament and the locally elected governors (and they would be a check, in turn, on upper class overdomination). If I did bicameral, the lower house would be like RL parliamentary systems, and the upper house would be like that of the US senate, except replacing the senators with governors. That leaves the nobility in its executive council position....which may work now that I think about it. I dunno. Which ever of the three would work, on the assumption that Kasnyia had all its territories (since Kasnyia would not changet he structure of the government with the loss of territories, it just wouldn't fill whichever positions didn't exist de facto anymore) Edited by Kasnyia, Feb 3 2010, 08:16 AM.

Tricameral. That way you can have long-standing characters and also develop disposable elected officials (who could (but don't have to be) elected by the forum). |

Part of the reason I'm developing this is that I actually DO intend to get the forum in on the vote. With the Parliament now at its most powerful (since the Emperor is bedridden since the War), things are gonna get interesting. |

Definitely tricameral. You develop a character. Character does things. Other things happen. Knock on effect relates back to said character. If that character has been voted out of office, this presents an unnecessary problem. |

Well, Hispania's system is tricameral, and you say tricameral, and I hear no other suggestion. Alrighty then. Kasnyia's Grand Parliament shall be tricameral. |
