Government
The Government of The Free States of Isra is based on a democratic foundational principle, where an Assembly of one hundred elected officials forms a senate with the express purpose of representing the people. They vote on laws, run the state and are often elected further into seats of influence and power as ministers charged with governing a certain area. At the head of the government is an official head of state, known as the Lord or Lady of The Free City, who has the power to declare states of emergency and take emergency power into their own hands a situation arises that would require it. The Lord or Lady is elected by a vote in the Assembly. Once voted they remain in power until their death, their resignation, or by a two-thirds vote of the assembly to remove them from power.
The Conclave is formed of selected Assembly members, appointed by the Lady of Isra upon the advice of the Chancellor. The Conclave, convened and led by the Chancellor, serves to create, draft, and propose bills for the Assembly to ratify. All members of the Conclave are assigned portfolios detailing their responsibilities as leaders of Isran society. They are expected to report back on activities within their bailiwicks at every meeting, as well as overseeing any proposals of bills that fall in their sphere of influence. The Assembly, a considerably larger body than the Conclave, ratifies any bills proposed by its smaller counterpart. Although it plays a substantially less significant role in the new governmental set-up, the Assembly is still absolutely crucial, as, without a majority vote, no new bill can be passed. All bills proposed must also be signed off on by either the Lady or Chancellor of Isra.
