Government of Selengeria

The Government of Selengeria, known by supporters as Ikhonichin and internationally by the metonym Kharmaivan, is the unique totalitarian political system of the Empire of Selengeria under the exclusive political leadership of the National Front. It is a unitary state ruled by a largely ceremonial and powerless emperor or Khaan. Administration of the country is carried out by the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, however, they are not independent of each other.

=Monarchy=

The Monarch of Selengeria (Khaan lit. "King of Kings") is the head of the Imperial Family and the sovereign and head of state of Selengeria. Despite nominally outranking the Jonon, the emperor takes little part in governing the country and primarily lives a cloistered life devoted to religious affairs.

The Imperial Family, known also as House Dasanjin or the Songosonids, descend from the deified founder of Selengeria, Songoson. Songoson was a minor Narangol chieftain who rose to prominence in the 16th century as both a prophet and warlord. He united the houses of the Alashan Plateau and led them on a conquest of surrounding peoples and states to found the modern Selengerian empire. Following his death, Songoson's cult continued to grow and eventually elevated him to a position of godhood. Because of this, the Imperial Family function similarly to the heads of other major religions. The emperor is believed to be semi-divine and the soul chosen to bridge the earthly and heavenly domains and ensure harmony.

The Current Emperor of Selengeria is Narmandakh. He was officially enthroned in 1996 following the death of his father Emperor Osolnegdel. He is styled as His Imperial Majesty for use internationally and domestically as Aguu Sur Javkhlan ("His Sublime Majesty") or as Divaajingerel ("Light of Heaven"). Selengerian monarchs take on new names upon assuming the throne and are given posthumous names upon their death. Narmandakh's regnal name is Soljinzayaa which means "Fortuned Crossroads of Fate" - an auspicious name chosen for his ascension approaching the turn of the century and amidst the emerging technological revolution.

=Executive=

The Jonon is the head of government and commander in chief of Selengeria's Armed Forces. Jonons are elected for life by the Khuraldai and command a vast totalitarian bureaucracy and administration known as the Kharmaivan. A Jonon is theoretically omnipotent and unquestionable, however, their powers are restrained severely by a combination of political concessions made during a Khuraldai, reforms introduced after the death of Suudrin, and the need to balance political, religious, and private sector interests.

The current Jonon is Ongchijid Khidarga who has ruled Selengeria since her election by the Khuraldai in 2003. She is the first woman and first multiethnic Selengerian to ever hold the office. Her election was one of the lengthiest and most lethal Khuraldais in history and took place during record levels of civil unrest - factors that led international press coverage to label her the "last lotus standing" and to predict that her tenure would be short-lived and destabilising. Unspecified sources within the Kharmaivan later confirmed that internal power struggles were taking place and that Khidarga had already survived two assassination attempts by October of 2004. While the Kharmaivan denies the validity of reports, firefights and explosions in cities across Selengeria in July of 2007 and the disappearance of several major figures are believed to have been part of a massive purge of Khidarga's enemies. Since 2007 Khidarga has continued to consolidate her power and has embraced an identity as one of the world's "Iron Ladies". Her administration has been defined by a reformist agenda, the advent of the digital era, and a thawing of relations with Akiteiwa and Kodeshia.

The office of Jadnazuur serves as the principal assistant and pseudo-deputy to the Jonon. The current Jadnazuur is Khyargas Sodnomzundui.

Jonon comes from Kodeshian 親王 or "prince" and was used by the vassal kings of Songoson. It later became a military title for the elevated theatre commanders of the Narangol expeditionary armies. The position historically carried immense risk for a commander and was compared to a death sentence by contemporaries. It eventually grew in prestige however and would even supplant the Khaan during the Nogoongar Revolution. Following the restoration of the Dasanjins to the throne in 18XX, the rank was abolished and civilian administration of the military was introduced. "Jonon" would remain unused as an official title until Suudrin of Khiyad adopted it in 1923.

Suudrin would go on to suppress many allies from his war-time coalition as well as defeated opposition factions, most notably the brutal suppression of Bindirugui, and transform the institutions and political class of the imperial government into an extension of his will and vision. His death in 1949 at the height of the Kesh Wars ushered in a period of extreme political turmoil and a spate of, prominent assassinations, and public unrest that were only quelled by the efforts of Empress Khojilev and General Ganzorig. Future regimes introduced independent supervisory bodies and laws to safeguard the transfer of power and beginning in 1986 embraced the standard Narangol cultural practice of abdication before death to maintain stability and influence over succession.

=Legislature=

The Khuraldai is the national legislature of Selengeria. With 2681 seats it is the largest legislative body in the world. It is made up of the chieftains of Selengeria's clans who are elected by the nobles of the houses.

While immensely powerful during the election of a Jonon, the Khuraldai rarely meets during the lifetime of a Jonon and is considered a body for the decrees and policies of the Kharmaivan.

=National Front=

The National Front for the Restoration of Heaven's Will, more commonly referred to as the National Front (Undesnii Khamdazog) or just "the Party" (Nam), is the official and solely authorised political party of Selengeria. It has an estimated 40 million members and dominates every aspect of Selengerian life and politics.

All Selengerians are required to participate in party institutions regardless of their membership status starting at the block-level cells known as "Neighbourhood Assistance Associations" (Khorshiin Tuslamjiin Niigem).

The National Front was founded in 1927 at the onset of the Selengerian Civil War by a coalition of anti-government forces under the leadership of Khiyad Suudaran. The party grew quickly and by 1929 its forces had emerged victorious against the liberal government of the Bindirigui Party.

Supporters of Suudrin and the National Front during Selengeria's civil war were called "Undserkheg" and the term has remained in use to the present day to refer to members of Selengeria's government and the party as a whole

=Zovarga= Zovarga is the governing ideology of Selengeria as defined by traditional Narangol customs and the speeches, decrees, and writings of all Jonons.
