Government of Delvera

The government of the Grand Republic of Delvera is the confederal administration of Delvera. It is comprised of two primary bodies: the Consulate and the Chamber of Deputies. These fulfill confederal executive and legislative duties respectively, while sharing judicial duties formerly the charge of a permanent High Court.

Consulate
The Consulate consists of the Office of the Consul, the Cabinet, and the Council of Governors.

Consul
The Consul is the chief executive of Delvera. He is responsible for the appointment of Cabinet officials (except for the President) and the Supreme Commander of the Delveran Armed Services, and by extension all of the duties of the Cabinet ministries. He is also obligated to convene the Council of Governors when necessary.

Cabinet
The Cabinet consists of the Consul, the President, and the heads of all of the executive ministries. It may also be extended to include ministerial department heads. The Cabinet serves as an advisory body to the Consul and an engine whereby executive duties are performed. By law, executive function is restricted to four confederal ministries: State, Commerce, the Interior, and Justice. The Consul may dissolve, reactivate, or otherwise alter the ministries and their employee composition at will within the parameters of the constitution.

Ministry of State
The Ministry of State is responsible for preparing and negotiating diplomatic treaties, accommodating visiting dignitaries, and appointing and organizing ambassadors. The Ministry is subdivided into the Departments of Foreign Affairs and State Media.

Ministry of Commerce
The Ministry of Commerce is charged with printing the national currency, paying the nation's debts, and maintaining the national treasury. The Ministry is subdivided into the Departments of Confederal Post, the Treasury, and Weights and Measures.

Ministry of the Interior
The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for maintaining national infrastructure, organizing community service, handling citizenship, and preserving the environment. The Ministry is subdivided into the Departments of Cartography, the Census, Conservation, Elections, and Immigration.

Ministry of Justice
The Ministry of Justice is charged with representing the national government in legal cases and investigating allegations of criminal activity within the government. The Ministry is subdivided into the Departments of Law Enforcement and Revisions.

Council of Governors
The Council is comprised of the elected governors of each Delveran province. The Council functions as both an advisory council to the Consul and an upper legislature with a few key responsibilities.

Chamber of Deputies
The Chamber is comprised of the Office of the President and the Chamber itself.

President
The President is the chief legislator of Delvera. He is responsible for convening and presiding over the Chamber and serves as the legislature's representative in the Cabinet. The President is the immediate successor to the office of Consul in the event of the incumbent's incapacitation or resignation.

Chamber
The Chamber is comprised of the elected deputies of each Delveran province. The Chamber functions as the primary legislative body of the Grand Republic, and as such must lend a prescribed margin (usually a simple majority) of support to most binding legislation. The Chamber meets regularly in scheduled quarterly sessions and may also convene in an emergency.

High Court
The High Court was formerly a separate body consisting of three to seven justices which would be convened by a Supreme Justice to try criminal cases. In 2017, the Court was transitioned into a temporary entity which is formed when needed and consists of either the Chamber or the Council in such an instance, with either the President or Consul serving as Supreme Justice.
