Politics of Velorenkya

Supreme Leader
The constitution recognizes that the absolute authority of the laboring harmonics and passionaries within the passionate syndicalist republic is vested with the Grand National Assembly and the Supreme Leader. Officially the "Highest Passionary and Guardian of the Reborn Motherland", the Supreme Leader or Lazh directs constitutional policy, is the "first among equals" within the executive triumvirate, president of the Grand National Assembly, and approves declarations of war. The office of the Supreme Leader was established in 1920 pursuant to Revivalist ideology and the coalescence of power around Lazh Raes Khosravi due to her leadership of the AVNPP and greater Blue Movement.

The Supreme Leader is empowered to appoint judges to the High Court of the Arekh, approve the nomination of the Chief Commissar, appoint an Attorney General for the Justice Commissariat, and may propose amendments to the constitution. Within the executive triumvirate the Lazh oversees all affairs of the Council of Arekh Commissars and is able to mediate and settle disputes between the Arekh Governor and Chief Commissar. Beyond constitutional policy the Lazh wields very little tangible power but indirectly remains significantly influential within the Arekh due to the considerable respect of the position and their standing within the Revivalist League. As such the Supreme Leader is a semi-ceremonial head of state whose courtship and approval is needed by the other members of the triumvirate and the party in power to enact policy.

The Senate of the Arekh is charged with the appointment of passionaries to the position of Supreme Leader who fit the criteria of "unequivocable selfless service to All-Velorenkans in the pursuit of a life, that is sovereign and free" and that have the "sturdy and right selfless drive towards achieving the Apex Tradition". The appointment of the Supreme Leader is subject to the approval of the other two houses of the Grand National Assembly. Following appointment the Supreme Leader may serve as the head of state for life, provided that a vote of no confidence by the Senate of the Arekh does not reach a 2/3'rds majority.

Council of Arekh Commissars
The Council of Arekh Commissars is headed by the Executive Triumvirate of the Lazh, Arekh Governor, and Chief Commissar who preside over a cabinet of XXX commissariats and agencies.

Though the Supreme Leader is recognized within Velorenkya as the head of state, the responsibilities of the Arekh Governor include those that are traditionally held by heads of state in other countries. These responsibilities for the most part fall under the purview of foreign affairs, with the Arekh Governor granted the powers of commander in chief of the Arekh Military Establishment, the negotiation of foreign treaties, and appointing representatives to foreign nations and international organizations. The Arekh Governor also appoints commissars to head the Arekh Military Establishment, All-Velorenkan Central Bank, and the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs. The Arekh Governor is elected via nationwide majority vote and is eligible to serve two consecutive six year terms.

The Chief Commissar of Velorenkya is typically appointed by the Lazh from whichever party or political coalition commands a majority within the Assembly of Syndicates. It is commonplace for the Grand National Assembly to elect the Chief Commissar who is then formally appointed by the Lazh, but this is not always the case. The Chief Commissar acts as the head of government for the Arekh and presides over the Grand National Assembly in the Supreme Leader's absence. Within the Constitution of Velorenkya the Chief Commissar's primary responsibilities lay in domestic policy and economic affairs. They have the power to appoint chairs to the Office for the Administration of the Peoples Economy, Main Office for Economic Planning, and the Main Office for Arekh Security. All other executive commissariats or agencies that serve the purpose of domestic affairs, economic management, or the public commonwealth are elected by the Grand National Assembly and serve at the direction and discretion of the Chief Commissar. The Chief Commissar serves a term of three years but can be recalled by the Assembly of Syndicates or dismissed by the agreement of the Lazh and Arekh Governor at any time.

Grand National Assembly
The Velorenkan masses, the Communes and Sadhravs, and the Syndicates of the Arekh are represented within the tricameral Grand National Assembly by the Assembly of Superethnos, the Senate of the Arekh, and the Assembly of the Syndicates respectively. According to Velorenkan politics the Grand National Assembly coexists alongside the Supreme Leader as the chief instruments of the "passionate dictatorship for laboring harmonics and preeminent passionaries" of the Arekh. Powers afforded to the Grand National Assembly include the election of the Chief Commissar and other commissars to the executive branch, ratify declarations of war,, approve treaties, and impeachment. For a law to become official by the National Assembly it requires ratification by two of the three houses and to be signed into being by the Chief Commissar. Should the Chief Commissar veto a law it can be overturned by ratification in all three houses via a supermajority vote.

The Assembly of Superethnos is composed of X delegates elected on the basis of population with one delegate per X persons within the Arekh via direct universal suffrage for a term of three years. As the lower house the primary powers afforded to the Assembly of Superethnos are the creation of laws especially those concerning civil liberties, the establishment of committees to provide legislative oversight on the Council of Arekh Commissars, and the creation of Arekh-wide referendums to provide direction to the Grand National Assembly.

Members to the Senate of the Arekh are elected by their sadhravi or communal governments for the purpose of representing the ethnos within the greater federation for a term of six years. Senator seats are apportioned to the sadhravs and communes by population for a total of X senators, with the Sadhrav of X having the most at X and the Free and Serene Commune of X having just one senator. As the middle house the Senate of the Arekh is primarily charged with matters concerning the election and oversight of the Supreme Leader and matters of inter sadhravi or communal dispute. Besides the Supreme Leader, the Senate is the only other body of power within the Arekh with the power to propose amendments to the constitution, however a 2/3rds majority vote must be obtained from all houses to formally ratify an amendment. Unlike the Assembly of Superethnos and Syndicates, senators are not eligible to be elected or appointed to the Council of Arekh Commissars.

X number of delegates to the Assembly of Syndicates are chosen from the constituently recognized 12 syndicates. Each syndicate via their respective National Laboring Conventions elects six delegates to the Assembly for a term of three years, yet are recallable at anytime by the syndicate's High Committee, for a total of 66 delegates. The representative for the twelfth syndicate is considered the Lazh, who acts as the president of the Grand National Assembly. In addition to the delegates elected via the syndicates, public organizations such as the League of All-Velorenkan Revivalists, All-Velorenkan Khosravist Sub-Adult Group, and the Velorenkan Ruwadhic faith are permitted to elect an apportioned number of delegates relative to their membership, however the number may not surpass 4 delegates. The Assembly of Syndicates functions as the upper house within the Grand National Assembly and is primarily concerned with laws and policy concerning commerce and labor. All legislative action regarding the Arekh budget or raising of revenue originate within the Assembly of Syndicates.
