Chereads / Erian of Unity / Political System

Political System

The political system that was put in place when the four Houses united beautifully managed to rearrange and objectively grant power equally.

The main political building is the Holy Parliament, located in the capital city of Angelicum. Here there are over 220 seats occupied by the three political parties.

Right

The Right is controlled by House Blackheart and the current leader and Vice-Prime Minister is Samael Blackheart. They are currently the second most powerful political party in parliament as they control important ministerial positions and the Marshal and High General post by Cassian Blackheart.

Middle

The centre is controlled by the Stonehearts and is the weakest link in the political system. Although House Stoneheart itself is very powerful, its political voice in Parliament is much weaker than that of the other two houses.

The current leader and Vice-Prime Minister is Azrael Stoneheart. He is the only one of the clan who is trying to prevent the fall of the Stonehearts' political power, as his father Aldar Stoneheart suffered a huge trauma that took him out of politics.

The Left

The Left is dominated by the most powerful House Whiteheart. It is the de facto "Ruling House". They hold the majority of ministerial posts and the key post of Prime Minister. The leader of the Whitehearts and the third Deputy Prime Minister is Emanuel Whiteheart, who has managed to gain most of the power in the Left and his father Azmeth Whiteheart no longer has the power he used to have.

Political Functions

Holy King

The Monarchist seat has been taken over by the young Marcus I. Holyheart, who has the supreme say in the United Angelic Kingdom and can practically change everything with his word. He can remove any political office, including Prime Minister and Divine Judge.

He can declare a state of emergency and a general mobilization.

In terms of political power, the Holy King is the most powerful.

------------------

Prime Minister

The highest political office in the Holy Parliament. It is the second most powerful office in the Kingdom and a direct subordinate of the Holy King. The Prime Minister has a say in virtually everything and can intervene in everything.

He is the right hand of the Holy King.

He can be dismissed either by the King himself or by the Divine Judge, on the testimony of Parliament.

This position has been held since the very beginning by Azmeth Whiteheart.

------------------

The Divine Judge

De facto the second most powerful office in the Kingdom. It is one of the two offices that can overrule or alter the decisions of the Prime Minister. It is the left hand of the Holy King and can interfere greatly in political activity.

This office is held by Benedict V. Lawheart, and he also holds the ministerial post of Justice.

------------------

Marshal

The highest military office, and de facto the second highest political office. The Marshal is the direct commander of all forces in the Kingdom. He makes decisions about the Army's infrastructure, and his top priority is the protection of the Kingdom.

As the Army is an important and powerful part of the Kingdom, the Marshal wields enormous power.

Cassian Blackheart simultaneously controls both the Marshal and the High General.

------------------

The Vice-Premiers and the Supreme General

Azrael Stoneheart, Samael Blackheart, and Emanuel Whiteheart.

These are the three names of the Vice-Premiers and direct subordinates of the Prime Minister himself. They are advisors to the Prime Minister and direct successors to the Prime Minister's office should the current Prime Minister either abdicate or die.

Of course, if there is a huge emergency, the Marshal will take the Prime Minister's post and declare martial law. That means he will assume all power.

The General-in-Chief is the second and last military post that can interfere in the political activities of the Kingdom. It is the second highest military position, controlling and in charge of the 4 Senior Generals. Each High General is in charge of 6 Lower Generals.

Cassian Blackheart controls both the Marshal and the High General at the same time.

------------------

Ministerial positions

There are over 10 posts in the Kingdom that are very important for the running of the Kingdom and especially for gaining political power.

However, one post is held by Benedict V. Lawheart, the Divine Judge who controls the Ministry of Justice. It is the only post that does not belong to any political party.

The Ministry of Defense and Agriculture is controlled by the Right (Blackhearts).

The Ministry of Diplomacy, Education, and Spherical Energy Training is controlled by the Center (Stonehearts).

The Ministry of Interior, Defense, Social Affairs, and Health is controlled by the Left (Whitehearts).
