Unionism V2: Electric Boogaloo
The Regalian Government is the vast judicial, bureaucratic and executive apparatus that runs the Regalian Empire, and the Regalian Commonwealth at large. The Regalian Empire is, surface and population wise, the largest Empire known on Aloria proper, while also maintaining the largest known government system to run the entire Empire into the smallest detail. With the succession of Cedromar I and through the continuing rule of Alexander I, the government was restyled into what was referred to as The New Model Government. This reform was initiated due to the ever failing bureaucracy centered around State Councils, an ancient tradition left behind from centuries ago and dating all the way back to the Regalian Kingdom. The Regalian Government features four primary Curias, or Courts in Proto-Regalian. These Curias have authority and power within their own jurisdiction, and are all integral parts that make up the greater whole of the the Regalian Government.

===Priestly Hierarchy===
! colspan="2" style="background:#C9D8CC;" |
Within the Unionist College exist several ranks of priests, otherwise known as Celates. These ranks hold various responsibilities within the College, and thus those with higher offices are consider the most versed in matters of theological and bureaucratic knowledge. Below is a list of all priestly ranks, in order of seniority:
The Crown is the central body of the Regalian Empire and the Imperial Seat. Most positions inside the Curia Cordis are not attainable for anyone but the Royal Family of Regalia, though some favorite positions are open to those who are able to climb the ranks of the Emperor's close favorites. These positions are generally described as some of the most prestigious positions in the entire Empire, because they are certainly the closest to the Crown's favor.


|- style="background:#eee;"
*The '''Primae-Everian''' was the official head of the Unionist College, considered to be the Unionist equivalent of a pope. Their duties included presiding over Holy Diets (a gathering of Celates to discuss religious dogma) as well as serving as the chaplain of the Imperial Palace. The last Primae-Everian was Piete Kade, who was assassinated by radicals within the College for attempting to reconcile with the various Schisms. While the Emperor is able to appoint a new Primae-Everian, the Concilly Council has advised him to leave the position vacant, out of respect for the previous officeholder.
| rowspan="2" style="width: 15%; text-align:center;" |
'''Emperor of Regalia'''


His Imperial Holiness Alexander I
*The '''Concilly Councillors''' are a group of well-learned Celates who are responsible for overseeing the vast bureaucracy of the Unionist College. Due to the prestige associated with bei9ng a Concilly Councillor, this position also suffers from political intrigue, with various faction plotting to place, or keep, their preferred Celates on the council. Despite this potential for corruption, Concilly Councillors are nevertheless very competent in their duties, as only those most theologically gifted can hope to be appointed to this position.
|
The Crown is the undisputed head of the Regalian Empire and of the Unionist faith. The Crown must always be a descendant of Emperor Theomar the first, and must always be male. Due to the elective inheritance act of 304 AC, the heir must also be chosen by the previous Emperor through an election process called the Tahn which involves a theological debate between the Crown and the Supreme Reverend on the matter of necessity.
|- style="background:white;"
|
*Has full authority over the Regalian Empire.


|- style="background:#eee;"
*The '''Arch-Everians''' are Celates who administer the most populous cities within the Regalian Empire, with their Celeries often including one of the Arch- or Grand- Temples of Unionism. Arch-Everians are highly influential figures, and often compete with the secular Dukes over authority within their cities (as the line between secular and religious boundaries starts to blur in these areas). Arch-Everians are formally appointed by the Primae-Everian on the recommendation of the Concilly Council, though it is well-known that the regional Duke also plays a notable role in suggesting their preferred candidate.
| rowspan="2" style="width: 15%; text-align:center;" |
'''Lord Chancellor'''


Jared Bancroft
*The '''Everians''' are senior-ranking Celates who oversee a collection of Celeries within a geographic area. The position is usually appointed by the local Duke or Count, and confirmed by the Concilly Council. Everians are often the highest rank achieved by Celates, as higher offices start to involve political games that remove well-meaning yet naive Celates from rising in the ranks.
|
The Lord Chancellor by Crown consent, as with the Assembly, represents the Emperor in authority and Duty and where necessary, be granted executive power to rule parts of the Empire in the Crown’s stead. This position is currently elective via Noble Assembly and appointed directly by the Emperor, and rules the State Government, along with partial authority in Military matters.
|- style="background:white;"
|
*Dictates Regalian State Law in the Empire, being able to change any and all Regalian State Laws.
*Dictates the creation of Charters.
*Dictates the declaration of war on foreign states and can force the Marshalry to focus on a specific front.
*Dictates the summoning of foreign dignitaries to Court for an event (think Iron Duke, Ithanian Prince Sovereign, King of Nordskag etc).
|}


==Imperial Court==
*The '''Celates''' are the standard rank of priest within the Unionist College, achieved after completing clerical training and becoming ordained by an Everian. Most priests remain Celates for life, though this lack of upward advancements is hardly met with frustration due to the fulfilling experiences most Celates have with the faithful. While higher ranks become more focused on administrative duties, Celates are more focused on the spiritual needs of Unionists, and so spend most of their time providing various services to others.

! style="background:#C9D8CC; width:170px;" | [[File:Crownimg1.png|100px]]
*The '''Lay Priests''' are not part of the Unionist College, or even considered clergy to begin with. Any Unionist can be a Lay Priest, which is an unofficial title given to those who are very knowledgeable about Unionism, and assist the Celates with their duties. There is no formal training required, though many Lay Priests often study Unionist theology in order to better assist their fellow Unionists. As there are no Celates within the Guided Unionist community, Lay Priests are responsible for overseeing community maintenance of the local Temples and guiding spiritual discussions.

Imperial Court positions are IC jobs available mostly to Nobility (but with good exception, also commoners) which allow one to garner prestige by working at the Imperial Palace, but also engage with the nobility at large through these occupations. They all factor into the Noble Prestige and title progressions, but are jobs in that they do require a modicum of investment to pay off. All positions are accountable, meaning they can be fired and dismissed without warning if Court politics go a certain way, including the Mistress or Master of Ceremonies who can be complained about through the Master or Mistress of Letters to the Emperor directly.
 
|- style="background:#eee;"
| rowspan="2" style="width: 15%; text-align:center;" |
'''Mistress of Ceremonies'''

|- style="background:#eee;"
| rowspan="2" style="width: 15%; text-align:center;" |
'''Master of Cuisines'''
 
Haeddi Harhold
|
The Master of Cuisines has the job to select the drinks and foods to cater to events. This means that for each event hosted by the Celebrations or Ceremonies, the Master of Cuisines (or Mistress) must provide a list of adequately versatile and varied drinks and foods with rich descriptions and themes. The Master or Mistress of Cuisines must also decide every month what types of food are “in fashion” in the Imperial Court, and which are recommended for consumption by the nobility.
|- style="background:white;"

Countess Kaya Sorenvik
Cinna Eledhwen

The Master (or Mistress) of Inquests must be observant at all times, scouting for potential Imperial Family disloyal nobles, or nobles who speak out or commit thought crimes against the Feudal Contract and the duty of nobility (for example, by engaging in Jacobinist thoughts). The Emperor sends the Inquestors on missions to contact the Imperial Guard to apprehend suspects, and investigate them humanely in the Imperial Palace dungeon to figure out where their true loyalties lie.

'''Master of Hotiers'''
 
Countess Milena Cadieux
|
The Master of Hotiers decides the standards for Court permitted clothing. That is to say, while the Honneurs code of behavior prescribes a certain set of clothing as permissible in public life, the Hotiers code of clothing dictates the freedom of clothing in the Imperial Court. While for example the Honneurs permits a woman to have bare shoulders, the Hotiers may ban bared shoulders at the Imperial Court, and as such expel anyone breaking the rules. The Master or Mistress of Hotiers also sets the court style every month, the “high fashion” of what is in at the Palace, and as such recommended for nobility, while also dragging nobles who insist on wearing family colors as clothing all the time. The Master or Mistress of Hotiers has the following tasks:
|- style="background:white;"
|
*Set the Hotiers Code of clothing at the Imperial Court, the high class society dress code.
*Set the monthly high fashion styles at the Imperial court for noble recommendations.
*Criticize nobles who have a lacking fashion sense and self-styling that degrades them.
 
|- style="background:#eee;"
| rowspan="2" style="width: 15%; text-align:center;" |
'''Master of Conduces'''
 
Duke Augustin Reinard
|
The Master of Conduces produces the actual Honneurs Code of Behavior for the nobles, how they should interact with each other, how they should talk to each other, what subtextual behavior is permitted, and what kinds of actions and gestures are permitted in public and in private. The Master or Mistress of Conduces produces the primary Honneurs Code and is able to modify it, while also producing the Calemberg Honneurs (specifically aimed at Conservatives) and the Souvereine Honneurs (specifically aimed at Liberals), while then also dictating which family is expected to follow which code, whether it be core, liberal, or conservative. The Master of Conduces must also strictly enforce these rules. The Master or Mistress of Conduces has the following tasks:
|- style="background:white;"
|
*Set the Honneurs Code of behavior and interactions for the nobles (core).
*Set the Calemberg Code of behavior and interactions for the conservative nobles.

The State, currently led by the Bancroft Chancellery is a group of offices established by Lord Chancellor Jared I during his tenure, itself a continuation of the New Model style of Government used by Dietrich I. The Chancellory is the civilian government of the Empire, a culmination of the Ministers and the Bureaucracy that run the various sectors of the Empire as a whole, both internally and externally. The Cabinet itself is made up of a mix of Advisors (In Proto-Regalian, Kanzlerrat) and Ministers (In Proto-Regalian, Reichsrat). All Ministerial positions are created and appointed by the Lord Chancellor or the Emperor. All government positions are beholden to the Lord Chancellor, and Ministers can be removed at any time, for any reason. Every office (except the Kanzlerrat) may appoint their own unofficially registered assistants, clerks and stewards, but these will not be officially recorded or given official power.

Priestly Hierarchy

Within the Unionist College exist several ranks of priests, otherwise known as Celates. These ranks hold various responsibilities within the College, and thus those with higher offices are consider the most versed in matters of theological and bureaucratic knowledge. Below is a list of all priestly ranks, in order of seniority:

  • The Primae-Everian was the official head of the Unionist College, considered to be the Unionist equivalent of a pope. Their duties included presiding over Holy Diets (a gathering of Celates to discuss religious dogma) as well as serving as the chaplain of the Imperial Palace. The last Primae-Everian was Piete Kade, who was assassinated by radicals within the College for attempting to reconcile with the various Schisms. While the Emperor is able to appoint a new Primae-Everian, the Concilly Council has advised him to leave the position vacant, out of respect for the previous officeholder.
  • The Concilly Councillors are a group of well-learned Celates who are responsible for overseeing the vast bureaucracy of the Unionist College. Due to the prestige associated with bei9ng a Concilly Councillor, this position also suffers from political intrigue, with various faction plotting to place, or keep, their preferred Celates on the council. Despite this potential for corruption, Concilly Councillors are nevertheless very competent in their duties, as only those most theologically gifted can hope to be appointed to this position.
  • The Arch-Everians are Celates who administer the most populous cities within the Regalian Empire, with their Celeries often including one of the Arch- or Grand- Temples of Unionism. Arch-Everians are highly influential figures, and often compete with the secular Dukes over authority within their cities (as the line between secular and religious boundaries starts to blur in these areas). Arch-Everians are formally appointed by the Primae-Everian on the recommendation of the Concilly Council, though it is well-known that the regional Duke also plays a notable role in suggesting their preferred candidate.
  • The Everians are senior-ranking Celates who oversee a collection of Celeries within a geographic area. The position is usually appointed by the local Duke or Count, and confirmed by the Concilly Council. Everians are often the highest rank achieved by Celates, as higher offices start to involve political games that remove well-meaning yet naive Celates from rising in the ranks.
  • The Celates are the standard rank of priest within the Unionist College, achieved after completing clerical training and becoming ordained by an Everian. Most priests remain Celates for life, though this lack of upward advancements is hardly met with frustration due to the fulfilling experiences most Celates have with the faithful. While higher ranks become more focused on administrative duties, Celates are more focused on the spiritual needs of Unionists, and so spend most of their time providing various services to others.
  • The Lay Priests are not part of the Unionist College, or even considered clergy to begin with. Any Unionist can be a Lay Priest, which is an unofficial title given to those who are very knowledgeable about Unionism, and assist the Celates with their duties. There is no formal training required, though many Lay Priests often study Unionist theology in order to better assist their fellow Unionists. As there are no Celates within the Guided Unionist community, Lay Priests are responsible for overseeing community maintenance of the local Temples and guiding spiritual discussions.
