Velorenkya

Government and politics
The Reborn Velorenkan Arekh is officially a revivalist state which synthesizes elements of Pan-Velorenkanism, the philosophy of passionartism, and. Velorenkya is a federal.

The basis of Arekh political organization and power derives from the 1921 constitution which describes the state as "rejuvenated" and "subordinate to the laboring harmonics and preeminent passionaries" and establishes a among three branches of government.

Executive power within the Arekh is unique in that it is shared amongst a. The or Lazh is recognized as the  and has broad authority over the constitution and judiciary. Awarded so long as they exercise "uttermost passionate conduct", the Lazh is appointed via the legislative branch and commands the government along with a popularly elected Arekh Governor (Arekhlazaridy) who handles foreign affairs and a High Commissar who the Lazh appoints to the. Together the executive triumvirate appoints a cabinet of commissars known as the Arekh Passionary Governing Council which functions as the government's administrative body for Velorenkya.

The legislature is a Grand National Assembly. Delegates to the lower chamber in the Assembly of Superethnos are directly elected by citizens of the Arekh while delegates to the Assembly of Syndicates are elected by workers to represent Arekh recognized syndicates. Seats are proportionally allocated to the Assembly of Syndicates on the basis of the strength and membership of syndicates and sorted by constituent states. The Senate of the Arekh acts as the upper chamber and its senators are elected by constituent state legislative bodies. Delegates to the Grand National Assembly are recallable at anytime. The Grand National Assembly makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the and has the power to appoint and impeach the Supreme Leader. All commissars belonging to the Passionary Governing Council must be chosen from the Grand National Assembly.

Despite being a the 1921 Constitution recognizes the "preeminent role of the League of All-Velorenkan Revivalists which acts as the passionate and harmonious political mobilization of the Velorenkan superethnos". The League exists as a for national revivalism and since the Great Rebirth has largely dominated politics within the Arekh either through outright majority in the Grand National Assembly or as coalition partner. The success of other syndicalist or blue-leaning countries and the Second Velorenkan Rebirth has lead to the constant evolution of the Velorenkan political landscape. Despite continuing to be the party in power, the 1970's saw the League loosen it's strict requirement for revivalist orthodoxy leading to a general liberalization of ideals within the party and Velorenkya. However the Reborn Velorenkan Arekh still receives international scrutiny and criticism for it's routine surveillance and state-sponsored harassment of buff-aligned opposition parties.

Political divisions
The Reborn Velorenkan Arekh is a federation of constituent free communes and sadhravs. The basic political unit of the Arekh is the commune which is governed by a dual structure with legislative power exercised by a communal citizens' assembly and an executive in the form of the communal passionary governing council. Delegates to the communal citizens' assembly are directly elected by the populace from local constituencies (cities, districts, or villages) and in turn elect commissars to the passionary governing council to perform the administrative functions of the commune. The chairman of the governing council is directly elected by citizens of the commune.

Most communes within the Reborn Velorenkan Arekh fall under shared governance between the Arekh government and a sadhrav. In accordance with revivialist thought the sadhravs are organized as federal states composed of communes that comprise a homogenous nationality or "ethnos" that contributes to the greater Velorenkan superethnos. The sadhravs share sovereignty with the Arekh government and have their own constitution, language, government, and militia. The sadhravs are governed by bicameral legislatures comprised of an assembly of ethnos directly elected by communal assemblies and an assembly of syndicates whose delegates are elected by workers and whose seats are proportioned on the basis of syndicate size. Sadhravi assemblies elect a passionary governing council which functions as the cabinet for the duel executive shared between a lieutenant governor and a chairman of the council. Like in the communes the chairman is directly elected by the people however the lieutenant governor is appointed by the Supreme Leader of the Arekh and is charged to oversee constitutional affairs in addition to functioning as the chief representative for federal government and law.

Those communes not federated under a sadhrav are constitutionally recognized as free communes and are nominally autonomous. Free communes represent minority groups or "subethnos" considered constitutionally distinct from other ethnic groups or are municipalities that achieved shared sovereignty with the Arekh out of the "Great Compromise" within the Blue Movement during the Velorenkan Revolutionary Period. Government within free communes is virtually identical to that of those under the sadhravs with the addition of rights afforded to the sadhravs. For instance free communes recieve direct representation within the Senate of the Arekh, their own constitution, and retain the right to organize a militia.

Military
The military of the Reborn Velorenkan Arekh comprises the Reborn Arekh Defense Forces and the Communal and Sadhravi Blue Guards Militia. The Lazh is recognized as the of the military and service personal swear allegiance to the Supreme Leader and  Grand National Assembly. The Governor exercises authority over the military at the pleasure of the Lazh in their capacity as chairman of the Passionary Military Committee which administers both the Arekh Defense Forces and Blue Guards. The Passionary Military Committee also includes Velorenkya's foreign intelligence agency the Main Office for Strategic Services and it's customs, maritime security, and border enforcement agency the Frontier Guards

The Arekh Defense Forces is made up of two branches the Grand Army of the Arekh and the Reborn Arekh Navy and three separate services the Air Defense Forces of the Motherland, Strategic Weapons Troops, and Stellar Forces Troops for a total of 750,000 soldiers and 400,000 reservists. Conscription into the military of Velorenkya is compulsory regardless of gender, however rarely practiced outside of war as due in part to the Arekh's martial culture, associated benefits afforded by service, and substantial population the military receives a suitable number of volunteers to meet it's commitment to national security.

The Communal and Sadhravi Blue Guards Militia acts as a reserve or paramilitary organization to supplement the Defense Forces, respond to emergencies, and organize armed resistance against invaders. The Blue Guards fall under the duel authority of the Passionary Military Committee and their respective sadhravs or free communes. Unlike other reserve forces or paramilitaries the Blue Guards are organized at the local level and battalions are typically centered around syndicates, cooperatives, schools, or neighborhoods. The Blue Guards Militia includes about 200,000 full time members and additional 800,000 reservists. Under the constitution all so called able bodied passionary and harmonic Velorenkans are required to defend the Arekh regardless of gender and comprise an inactive militia that can be called upon to service by the Supreme Leader.

Since the Velorenkan National Rebirth in 1923 the Arekh government has supported blue aligned governments or movements with military activity to further it's strategic aims and in accordance with the Revivialist theory of the Apex Tradition. Velorenkya maintains a robust military industrial complex to provide for it's national security requirements and provide foreign exports.

A further military export the Arekh provides is mercenaries or foreign volunteer fighters. Since the conclusion of the Second World War a large number of former Velorenkan service personal or citizens unable to enlist with the Arekh Defense Forces have fought in proxy conflicts or for guerrilla movements, on occasion on opposing sides. Oftentimes these soldiers of fortune or volunteers are co-opted by the Arekh government to further political aims or achieve plausible deniability. Velorenkan citizens are required by the constitution to defend and serve the Arekh however there are few laws regarding armed service for or in support of other governments. The phenomena has even gotten official governmental sanction with Supreme Leader Hæzam Sadee' declaring in 197X "All good Revivalists know virtue and vitality can be at its purest sought on the battlefield. Our Arekh's commitment to peace has spurred a few passionate to seek the free and sovereign [life] in conflict. I wish them all the best".
