The Republics & Kingdom Council
Xuande-Xiphoi is an amalgamated sovereignty of twenty-three Republics and one Kingdom, which prior to Amalgamation at July 21, 2009, were individual sovereign states. Unique amongst other federal states for the way in which the nation's unity has formed, evolved, and following Amalgamation, Xuande-Xiphoi's governance has been a hotly debated and discussed topic.
The predecessor entity to the Xuande-Xiphoi was the Forum of Xuande-Xiphoi, a supranational entity which utilised the pooled sovereignty of the 24 member states to more fairly and effectively govern those states and benefit economies, but most importantly, to prevent war from re-emerging between the member states.
During the Amalgamation debates between 2003 and 2009, it was agreed that the administration of Xuande-Xiphoi as a nation would be complicated by the considerable difference in populations between the largest and smallest member states. In managing this, it was agreed that the former powers of the Republics & Kingdom would almost entirely be delegated between the national government and regional government authorities, the borders of which were drawn to accommodate a consistent population across the initial one hundred RGAs.
Though the political powers of the 24 Republics & Kingdom were effectively wholly delegated to local and regional governments, the identity and constitutional power of the Member States was considered important to retain. Recognising the need to have a Head of State who possesses the reserve powers to arbitrate and regulate the governance of the nation, but not willing to grant this power to a person or body that would not represent the pooled sovereignty of the 24 Member States, the Republics & Kingdom Council was established with the goal of equally representing the sovereign rights of each Member State post-Amalgamation.
The Republics & Kingdom Council's membership is one Councillor per Republic or Kingdom, and the qualification for appointment is determined by the Constitution of each Republic or Kingdom.
The Chair of the Council serves simultaneously as the Councillor for their Member State. The role of the Chair is rotated based on the Constitutional protocol of the Republics & Kingdom.
