Political System

Executive Branch
The Head of State is The President to the Confederacy. He is elected by the Confederate Assembly for the term of one year, along with the Vice President and the President's Chief of Staff. The president's post is largely ceremonial. Apart from chairing the sessions of the Confederate Assembly he has virtually no power.
The Confederate Assembly is an assembly to which each of the confederate courts, legislative bodies and the confederate government name four delegates (the two chambers of congress counting as one body). It serves as a coordinating committee between these bodies and elect the President, Vice President and the President's chief of staff from amongst themselves.
The confederate government consists of the publicly elected Lord Chancellor as head of government and the ministers he appoints. The ministers elect the two Vice Chancellors and the Director of the confederate government amongst themselves.

Legislative Branch
The main legislative body of the Confederacy is the smaller chamber of Congress, the Senate. Its members co-opt new members into the Senate at their own discretion. Senate appointments are lifetime appointments, although most Senators retire after four to eight years, to join the House of Represantatives. The House, although being the larger chamber of congress, usually only convenes once a year. Its powers are mostly discharged by several committees, who meet more often. The most notable of these committees is the Continuing Committee, consisting of the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Secretary of the House as well as a fourth Representative. They are elected by the full house for terms of three years. The Senate may pass any law, although some areas are subject to the House's (or rather the Continuing Commitee's) consent. The only exception are changes to the constitution.
The power to alter the consitution is reserved for the Confederate Council. Like the Senate, its members co-opt new members. No public election is held.

Judicial Branch
The two confederate courts are the Constitutional High Court, dealing with matters concerning the constitution, and The Confederate Supreme Tribunal. The Judges and Justices co-opt new appointees to the courts and elect their respective chairpersons from amongst themselves.
