((This Page is a WIP and only being used for Testing Purposes)) 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.

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 Crown must always be a descendant of Emperor Theomar the first, and must always be male.

Government Ministers

	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.
