Government of the Commonwealth

The Federal Commonwealth is governed by an assembly of three legislative and executive bodies headed by the Monarch and the Head of State. The Monarch holds most of the governmental power while the head of state manages day to day affairs of the legislature.

Monarchy
The Monarch is entitled to final decision on laws with the power to veto, final decision on war declarations with parliamentary approval, and final decision on treaties with parliamentary approval. The Monarch appoints a small cabinet of ministerial advisers who manage the departments of the commonwealth in which the Monarch oversees. The Monarch is elected for terms of six years through a complex crowning process.

Electing a Monarch
The Monarch is elected over the course of three rounds in which certain government members may nominate and vote for the next monarch.

Round 1

 * Nominations - Lasting 14 hours, any member of the House of Commons, House of Lords or Regental Chamber may nominate a member to be monarch. Nominees are required to receive five "seconds" in order to make it to the ballot for the vote.
 * Speeches - Each candidate receives one hour to address a joint session of the three assemblies to outline policy ideas, proposals, and personality traits that councils are unaware of.
 * Campaigning - Each candidate shall receive 2 full days to campaign privately and publicly for the monarchy. During this time it is required that each candidate announce publicly and it is also recommended that each candidate call individual commoners and lords to ask for votes and campaign privately.
 * Voting - Voting lasts for approximately three hours as the monarchy candidates join the members on the floor in a join session while members secretly cast ballots with the Lord Privy. Each commoner receives ten votes and for every ten lords casting a vote for a candidate, that candidate receives one vote (giving each lord one tenth of a vote due to their status of being non-elected members of the government). Voting usually ends with no majority candidate (525 votes requiring a majority of 263 votes) and another round is required.

Round 2

 * Elimination - The top three candidates in the first round are advanced to the second round where they begin most of the process over again. In the event of a tie, the Lord Privy breaks the tie with a single vote.
 * Campaigning - This time all candidates receive one week of private and public campaign time. During this time, candidates usually make a larger impact than during the first round, and as such, a more clear backing is established. Most candidates do many public speeches during this time and win over endorsements of parties, leaders, ministers, judicial leaders, and prominent governors and legislatures.
 * Speeches - Another round of speeches is permitted to each candidate with a one hour time limit to a joint session of the assemblies.
 * Voting - The second round of voting begins immediately after campaigning has ended and lasts about six hours, with monarchy candidates being present on the floor of a joint assembly. This time, Governors from each state and one representative from each state are welcome to the chamber to each cast a vote. Each governor receives an individual vote and each representative may cast a vote for the opinion of the majority of that state's legislature (usually the state Secretary of State). As the voting count increases to 625, a majority of 313 ballots is required to be elected monarch on the second round. If no majority is reached, a third round is required.

Round 3

 * Elimination - The top two candidates in the second round advance to the final with all ties being broken by the Lord Privy.
 * Campaigning - More campaigning and endorsements occur over a four day final round period.
 * Voting - The final round of voting lasts about six hours with the monarch candidates being present on the floor. This time, all three judicial tribunes, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and each Regent receives a vote, totaling at 643 votes. Since no tie is possible, a majority of 322 votes is required to be elected monarch. Unlike other rounds, abstentions are not allowed during the final round of voting. Those not wishing to vote must surrender their vote to another member.
