The Delegation

The Delegation is the name given to the government as it is delegative in nature. Being a monarchy, the Sovereign is the absolute monarch and retains supreme authority in every aspect of government. However, it is unfeasible for a singular person to rule an entire nation so much of government functions are handed the three branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial, in a democratic representative fashion.

The Verseinian Sovereignty is a massive, multiplanetary nation with thousands of states. The nation is devolved into several tiers of progressively smaller areas of governance and independence. Starting with the nation as a whole, States are immediately beneath it. Operating almost as independent nations themselves, they are organized into Districts, Counties, and Cities.

The Branches
The Executive branch is tasked with signing or vetoing laws as well as heading any local departments. There is 1 president per state, 1 director per district, 1 governor per county, and 1 mayor per city. These people are collectively referred to as Delegates and are typically elected for life, or until they resign or are otherwise removed from office.

The Legislative branch is split into two houses of one Senate and one Parliament per state. Senators and Members of Parliament (MPs) are organized into two halves whose terms overlap such that one half of each body is up for election every 2.5 years. There are 50 Senators in every state and anywhere from 2 to 2,000 MPs per state depending on population.

Parliament is responsible for drafting bills which if approved by a majority support are sent to the Senate, where again if it receives majority support there it may be signed into law or vetoed by the president of the state. If the president vetoes a bill it may be ratified by the senate with a supermajority vote. Senators and MPs each are elected to serve 5 year terms.

The Judicial branch handles all the courts of the nation. It is the only branch to have federal jurisdiction; that is, jurisdiction over the entire nation. There is one Supreme Court, one Premier Court per state, at least 1 but no more than 4 District Courts per District, and as many inferior courts as are necessary to handle all cases a state may have expediently.

The Supreme and Premier Courts each have 9 justices appointed by the Sovereign or appropriate president, and each other court has one justice who are elected to serve 5 year terms
