History
In 104 TT the 2nd Aryh Empire, who had ruled Faltir since 383 TT, shattered into warlord states fighting to restore the empire under their rule. In 92 TT, the warlord Usktir relinquished much of his authority and declared a republic, marking the official start of the Holy Republic of Faltir. All of Faltir was under the control of the republic by 59 TT.
On 18-1 1 PC, the seas calmed in what the Faltir called the Gepmir Miracle.
Government
Executive Branch
The Faltir head of state is known as the Othkrot and heads the executive branch. They are elected for 6 year terms and may only run once. The Othkrot represents Faltir in foreign affairs, may propose or veto laws, manage state finances, and may act as a tie-breaking vote in legislation if needed.
Legislative Branch
The Faltir legislative body is known as the Glykrot, and is made up of 70 elected representatives (3 from each province and 1 from the capital) who serve 10 year terms, but may not be reelected. The Glykrot votes on laws, may propose laws, can overwrite an executive veto with 70% voting in favor, may impeach the Othkrot if 75% vote in favor and have judicial support.
Moral Branch
The moral branch is led by the Laykrot who is selected at birth and serves for life, if the Laykrot is too young to make proper decisions a council of the 10 most pious layuch (5 male, 5 female) will instead fill their role, if there is a tie the matter will continue to be discussed until a consensus is reached. The Laykrot may veto laws and cannot be overridden, oversee religious matters, may call Layusk (Holy War), dedicate holidays and celebrations, appoint judges, and may pardon prisoners.
Judicial Branch
The judicial branch is led by a council of 7 judges known as Kohkrots, they are appointed by the Laykrot, and serve for indefinite terms but may be removed by the Laykrot at any time, for any reason. The Kohkrots interpret laws, may impeach the Othkrot with a unanimous vote and legislative support, and propose amendments be made to the constitution.
Martial Branch
The martial branch is led by the Uskkrot, they are appointed by the Othkrot and approved by the Kohkrots, they serve for indefinite terms but are typically replaced when a new Othkrot is elected. The Uskkrot oversees all military matters (excluding Layusk), may declare war (with executive or legislative approval), may declare martial law (with judicial approval), and is responsible for providing protection for the other branches.
