Government of the Royal Federation of Huisslandia




The Government of the Royal Federation of Huisslandia operates as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy with parliamentary democracy with the Monarch (I.E King/Queen) being the head of state with the de-facto state power and the head of government (i.e. First Consul) and the Royal Diet having the power of making laws, ultimately there are 4 branches of government which can be further explained.

(Aldeheim Royal Palace in Fortstad; Royal Family Residence and Office)

The Monarch: The Monarch has mostly a ceremonial role in the affairs of state. Most of the administrative and policy functions are left with the other 3 branches of government. However the King or Queen is considered the defacto representative of Huisslandia and has certain state powers that grant them certain privilages and that is to act as the speaker of the Royal Diet, and mediator of legislative affairs which includes gaining the Royal Mandate of signing bills into laws via the majority of the votes within the legislature, is the supreme commander of the armed forces and and if need be recall elections and fire the entire government in emergency cases.

(Leightom Manner; Executive office of the First Consul as well as the First Consul's Residence)

Executive: The executive branch is ran by the position known as First Consul who is the head of government. The First consul is democratically elected into government via popular vote of a general election every 5 years with a limit of 2 terms (10 years maximum). The First Consul is held with the highest civil service of the state which means they have the most administrative powers in the federal government. The First Consul appoints members of their cabinet and is responsible for the day to day administration of the federal government. The First Consul is also responsible for proposing legislation and policy within the Royal Diet.

(Royal Diet Capital Building)

Legislative: The legislative body within Huisslandia is known as the Royal Diet. The Royal Diet is a bi –cameral legislative body which acts as the supreme law making body within Huisslandia. The lower house which is known as the Chamber of Commons which is where ills are proposed and voted on, and the upper house known as the Chamber of Deputies is where bills are signed into law under Royal Mandate under the signature of the monarch. Legislation can also be amended as well via majority vote.. THE Royal Diet has the power to approve and scrap federal budgets, international budgets and impeach the First Consul under constitutional grounds as well as hold referendums. Members of the Diet of both upper and lower houses are democratically elected by their district and state constituents for a term of 10 years, and only 1 term can be served (10 years maximum).

(High Court of Huisslandia Building)

Judicial: The supreme judicial branch of Huisslandia is known as the High Court of Huisslandia. The High Court is presided over 7 Federal Justices who have the power of judicial review and can act as the final court of appeal for every state within the Royal Federation.

Legal System: Inquisitorial System based on the Dutch and Belgian Civil Code.

The Royal Family
[/size]



The Gough Family have been the leaders of the Gough Dynasty from 1590 and still going on today. They once started off as merchants and bankers from the Ecclesiastical State. They were once favored by the Catholic church as private bankers who always gave generously to the Holy See with various forms of taxes and Tithings. However, the governor of the Huiss colony of the Ecclesiastical State adopted the teachings of Martin Luther as a means of keeping the state revenue in the hands of the Huiss people. The family funded the War of Huiss Secession.
 
Heloise Annette Vicktoria Gough



Age: 53
Position: Queen of the Royal Federation of Huisslandia
Bio: Heloise Annette Viktoria Gough or as she just prefers to be known as simply Heloise is the 12th queen of Huisslandia and the 27th monarch on the Huiss throne. She is said to be a rather pragmatic and down to earth leader who is the holder of the nickname “The Merchant Queen” for her trade liberalization policies while still maintaining an efficiant social safety net system in place which fills the gaps of tprivate businesses by protecting citizens from the shortcomings of the labour market.

She is an alumnus of the Forstad School of International Business and Economics where she earned her MBA with honors. She once quoted Ëconomics is at the mercy of Labour and Labour is at the mercy of basicaic economics, one cannot exist without the other”, to that end she is the Committee Chair of various economic development initiatives and remains avid of keeping Huisslandia a neutral country.

She is said to be an oddity in terms of the amount of power she wields, the is she is more active and willing to asset the power of her throne more than previous monarchs, she once fired the previous Foreign Affairs Secretary for insisting on Huiss military intervention in the civil or in Lakzhovia going over the head of the First Consul , reminding the executive branch of her authority.


Elrik Jorman Westerwelle Gough



Age: 55
Position: King Regent of the Royal Federation of Huisslandia (Queen’s Consort)
Bio: Elrik met the current Queen in his early days of his postgraduate studies at business school. Unlike Heloise Elrik has no royal or noble blood within him at all, the son of a high school teacher and social worker. Elrik however isn’t unique in this regard of low birth, there have been over a dozen monarchs and consorts like him of low birth that found their way into the royal court and the royal family.

Elrik is an accountant by profession which means he too Charis various economic development initiatives and financial bodies. HE however hasn’t forgotten where he comes from which is a average middle class household. He is said to have a rather sardonic and deadpan sense of humor which has attracted the Queen to him to begin with, she is also one of the most down to earth officials within the Royal court, however he doesn’t think of himself as a royal but more of a business man and the holder of majority of shares amongst many of the nations banks and logistics companies, qhile quietly giving a percentage of his earning to various charities.

Johanna Heloise Alessandra Gough II



Age: 24
Position: Crown Princess
Bio: Johanna is the Crown Princess of the Royal Federation of Huisslandia, which means she is the immediate heir to the Huiss throne. She She studied her bachelor of commerce at the Forstad School of International business and recently finished her MBA in Némérie with an emphasis on Economics. Her parents advised her to study law but she found economics to be more interesting and useful. Like her mother she has an unusual affinity for mathematics and has often said that if she didn’t study economics, she would’ve studied engineering.

She takes after her mother that way. However personality wise she is a lot like her father, rather easy going but still regal. She is said to have rather refined but still have a twisted and dark sense of humour which she has come to have with her friends from her undergraduate years whom she still interacts with. In her down time she is teaching violin to first year music students. A skill which she has picked up form an early age and refined at her early days within the Forstad Filharmonisch (Fortstad Philharmonic)

Emille Charlotte Jorman Gough



Age: 20
Position: Princess
Bio: Emille is the second Princess of the Royal Federation of Huisslandia. Unlike her sister she is said to be more down to earth and acts more like a commoner than any royalty. She prefers to also live more prefers to just be refered to by her first given name or Ms Gough. She lives outside the palace in her own apartment in a middle-class neighbourhood in the south east coastal city of Eitenheim.

She is currently studying law at the Royal University of Eitenheim and served two years in the Huiss Defence Forces as a sniper. Most of her military record however has been redacted and has expressed to her family in joining the Royal Bureau of State Security despite her parent’s disapproval. She however is said to be a bit of a tom boy and tougher than most girls with her martial arts training and an almost scary knowledge of firearms and one on one combat techniques. That said though she has a rather sardonic and sarcastic sense of humour to the point of it being deadpan which many find enderring and makes her approachable.

Karmina Westerwelle



Age: 33
Position: Princess
Bio: Karmina Westerwelle is the biological daughter of Erik Jorman Westerwelle Gough whose mother unfortunately died of cancer when she was young. Queen Heloise adopted her in the royal family and loves her like her own child. She is the oldest child of the family however since she is not of royal blood, she will not be Queen. She however has never really been interested in the position and the benefits that come with it.

She was always seen as the strongest and most independent of all the children, so much so she now lives in Biseam and operates her own boutique accounting & financial consulting firm in Shuto. This is one of the reason’s why her younger half sister Johanna was inspired to do her MBA and has always looks up to her. Like the rest of her family her sense of humour is rather deadpan, sardonic and dark, despite that she is said to have a type A like personality and is seen as a somewhat workaholic.
