Fiction:Kajagii Covenant/Government

The Kajagii Covenant's government is run and ruled by the Jesalital Caste. The government and the religious body are deeply intertwined, giving the main religion of the Covenant much more power and authority within the governmental branches and the commoner Castes. The highest authority is the Grand Council, which operates under the Despot-Emperor. Under all of this, are the organized Ministries that handle religious, political and doctrinal needs.

Despot-Emperor
Always a Tiokel, the Despot-Emperor hails from the Xith Dynasty, the current and so far only family that has ruled the Covenant for all it's years. The Emperor's title contains the power of executive decisions, to overrule the High council, and to direct and execute the strategies of war. He appoints the Imperial Advisory council, and hears their decisions before going to war. His decisions are final, and his word is considered nothing less then divine mandate for the Kajagii Covenant and all within their borders. He is the highest ranking military commander, grandest religious hierarch, highest governmental authority, and commands from the Sublime Palace of Agria.

Grand Council
The Grand Council is the central Council that serves as the Theocratic and Aristocratic government that deals with the most high decisions of the Covenant. Placed with Judicial and Legislative power, the Grand Council supports the Despot-Emperor in his rulership, and ordains his heir. To oppose the choosing of a new Emperor is a dangerous thing for the Grand Council, essentially making them little more then glorified approval stampers for the Emperor. The Council is made up of the rulers of the Systems and worlds within the Covenant, and is made up of the Tiokel and Judicators race.

Any beings of higher position, such as military and other bodies, that commit what is considered the deepest sins of errors and heresies, are often handled by the Grand Council, with their punishment voted upon by the various aristocrats and theocrats that rule the Covenant.

Every member is voted for by the world they represent, and approved by the Emperor himself.
