Politics In Kulia

Kulian Empire
Politics in Kulia were supremely directed by the whomever the then current Emperor happened to be. Power was delegated to the High Lords of the Realm. The High Lords of the Realm were the de-facto cabinet of Kulia.

Lord High Steward- Lord High Steward was the highest, no hereditary rank in Kulia, this position was the de-jure head of government. Lord High Stewards would direct and implement policy alongside their monarch.

Lord High Marshal- Lord Marshal was the effective head of the military (though technically the monarch was always the head of the military). The Lord Marshal would organise and direct all military matters.

Lord High Seigneur- Lord High Seigneur was a post dedicated to the domestic running of the realm. Lord High Seigneurs traditionally managed the nobility and titles, and settled major land disputes. Traditionally, though not required, this position was held by the head of The Privy Council.

Lord High Treasurer- The Lord High treasurer managed all matters relating to state finances.

Lord High Justice- The Lord High Justice was the head of the judiciary system of the Empire of Kulia, his primary role was to enforce all edicts and laws issued by the monarch.

These positions constituted the main part of the Imperial Government. A second body known as the Privy Council also existed. The Privy Council, also known The Court, was an advisory body comprised of noblemen. Though many positions existed within The Privy Council, only two of them were significant:

Privy Council Secretary-  The Privy Council Secretary, known informally as the head of Privy Council, was, as the name suggests, head of The Privy Council. The Privy Council Secretary was the primary advisor of the monarch, and acted as the regent of state should the monarch be either unfit to rule or should the monarch be indisposed.

Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal- The Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal was the advisor to the monarch on matters relating to the implementation of laws. The Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal also acts as the personnel financier to the monarch and his court.

Kulian Republic
Politics within the republic weren't to dissimilar from the empire that preceded it. A cabinet (usually of the same party) of elected officials would be formed, a Prime Minister, who would go on to lead the republic would be chosen from within the party. The cabinet would consist of:

Prime Minister- The head of any government, a Prime Minister directs the country, proposing legislation and appointing, with party approval, ministers and generals to various posts.
