| 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 the latest Emperor, [[Cedromar 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 Council|State Councils]], an ancient tradition left behind from centuries ago and dating all the way back to the [[Regalian Kingdom]]. The Regalian Government features so called Curias, meaning 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. Each individual Curia has a number of unique positions which all have unique rules associated with them, as well as rights and duties. Below each individual Curia will be explained, as well as all information required to function therein. All positions within the Curia Militum, Curia Regis and Curia Leges, can only be directly appointed by the Crown (and Undercrown). Either of these individuals can be approached for an appointment. Positions in the Curia Salutem can only be appointed by the Crown directly (with an advisory role for the Grand Steward & Undercrown) and positions in the Curia Sanchelle can only be directly appointed by the Supreme Reverend.

| ==Curia Cordis==
| |
| The Curia Cordis 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.

| | 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 serves as the decision-making apparatus for the Regalian State, enacting laws and regulations to the Regalian citizenry. The Cabinet itself is made up of a mix of Advisors (In Proto-Regalian, Kanzlerrat) and Ministers (In Proto-Regalian, Reichsrat). All Reichsrat Ministerial positions are applied for directly at the Lord Chancellor. This can be done by sending a letter to the Chancellery ((by forum PM'ing LumosJared)) and "writing to impress" for the position. 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. Ministers may be given a stylized title, such as the Finance Minister being known as the Treasury Secretary. |

| ==Curia Militum==
| |
| The Curia Militum is the Military Court of the Regalian Empire, meaning that all parts of the [[Regalian Navy]] and [[Regalian Army]] are subject to this section of the government. Authority wise, the Lieutenant-Generals are the highest authority within a Mark Army, which is a professional standard army paid for by the state. They effectively command the Field Commander that serve under them, though can also make a personal appearance on the battlefield where necessary. A Lieutenant-Admiral is the highest authority in a specific Navy Armada, a fleet of a large number of warships commanded by individual captains and rear-Admirals. A Mark or Armada without either Lieutenant-General or Inspector-Admiral will default back to the Army structure, meaning in the absence of either, the Board of Admirals will supervise the Mark and Armada. Applications to either office are processed by the Undercrown of the Regalian Empire who has more information on the qualifications. That being said, the positions can be suspended, granted and blocked by the Emperor at any time. Misuse of power will lead to a Military Tribunal to apply justice against military individuals.

| ==Curia Regis==
| |
| The Curia Regis is the essential decision apparatus of the Empire, the managing autocrats in their respective focus field that manage the Financial, Logistical, Foreign Relations or Information Brokering of the Empire. The Curia Regis are often also referred to as the Ministers, or the Ministry in general. They essentially take state managing decisions in fields where the Emperor has delegated them away to capable and learned individuals. The [[Imperial Bureaucracy]] at large is subservient to the Curia Regis, meaning that the Ministers and Consuls all have an army of Bureaucrats at their disposal to do the tedious work for them. There can only ever be one Minister per Reichsrat, while three Consuls should support a Minister, though the number of Consuls can be any number less than three. While the Curia Regis has responsibility over numerous fields that make other Curias dependent on them, failure to comply to the wishes of the other Curia's isn't always a crime, and won't always put the blame with the Curia Regis, if carefully executed. For example, of an Army leader asks for an increase in finances to support the troops on campaign, the Logistic Reichsrat can commission the Finance Reichsrat to comply with the financial expansion. It is then entirely up to the Financial Reichsrat to decide whether to agree, or to disagree. This means that any position in the Reichsrat can become a powerful political tool. Generals can be denied extra funds due to a family feud, and if carefully executed, the General can in fact be blamed for the situation for demanding too much money, or being careless with military maneuvers.

The Minister has the most teams available, while the consuls also have individual teams available to themselves.

| ==Curia Leges==
| |
| The Curia Leges which is more generally referred to as the Judiciary in the Empire, is the central body that ensures the proper administration of Regalian Law across the Empire. With the Hoherichter or Grand Justicar at its head, individual members have controlling authority over various sectors of law enforcement as well as the legislation in general. The Hoherichter creates laws, while the consuls advise and draft proposals, all with the Unionist Creeds and the moral needs of society in mind. Furthermore, Inspectors have their authority in ensuring that the various law enforcement and military forces around the Capital City function correctly and in line with [[Regalian Law|State Law]]. The Hoherichter is unofficially the leader of all other members of the Curia Leges, but has no real control over the military inspectors beyond an advisory role. The Curia Leges is also not directly involved with any other Curia beyond just an advisory role.

| The Secretary of Law is the supreme Commander of the White Order and the Religious Prosecutions issued by the Sanchella of Union. This means the Secretary of Law is mostly in charge of Canon Law creation, as well as exercising this law on individuals who are charged with a religious trial by the Sanchella. The Sanchella cannot necessarily compel a person to appear to trial, but these trials are often deciding factors in Writs of Sin, and as such, these trials are often adhered to.

| ==Finances of the State==
| | <!--###############################################################################################--> |
| The state has massive numbers in finances. Most of these numbers are calculated and moved around daily by lowly bureaucrats who work at the Regalian Bureaucracy, while the Financial Reichsrat deals with the absolute numbers. Any movement on the budget from one source to another, will result in social, economical or even cultural impacts that cannot always be foreseen. In order to function correctly, all Financial workers receive an essentials ledger which contains all the relevant financial data of the state, both the total expenses and income sources. It is assumed that on this essentials ledger that the state always breaks even. That is to say, the state does not earn or spend more than the other, meaning the state effectively aims at a zero or very slight profit each year that is negligible to the point of not being mentioned. The Emperor may at any time change the Financial demands of the civilian government, and may also at any point start altering numbers himself.

| ==Applying to Govern==
| |
| Applying to govern can be done by sending a so called Letter of Appraisal to the Imperial Court, directly addressed to the Crown or Undercrown. This letter must be done in the uptmost respect to the Crown, but it is essentially a letter of advertisement to sell the writer as the most qualified person for the applied position. The letter should start with proper deferential address to the Imperial Holiness (or Undercrown Majesty), followed with a paragraph detailing where the writer is applying for. After the initial opening, the writer should spend as much time as they can detailing their qualifications as well as reasons as to why they would be suitable for a position.
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| * New Curias can be created, though only by the Crown.
| |
| * Not all Curias need to specifically have five unique offices. The Crown is just a bit eccentric and likes symmetry.
| |
| * Unlike the previous State Councils, the individual Curias cannot be disbanded collectively. This means that the central government can never truly "fall" unlike has happened in the past, because only faulty parts of the government will shut down while the functional parts remain effective.
