Jorvik is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_state Unitary] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_forms_of_government Elective Monarchy] with basic institutions and organization.
=== Structural Framework ===
The nation's framework is based on the fundamental principles listed within the '''Provisional Voting Act of 2022''', a patchwork de-facto constitution outlining the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendum referendum] voting processes. This document assigns value to the concepts of; popular sovereignty, voter access & participation, and timely resolution to government matters.
Jorvik's executive branch is responsible for the management of foreign affairs including the negotiation of treaties and alliances, enforcing national borders, and appointing legislative officials. The nation's highest executive office is the Jarl. As the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_state Head-of-State], the Jarl is directly responsible for appointing one of the two chambers of legislative office, presiding over referendums presented by the citizenry, negotiating foreign policy, and holding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_court court] to receive legislative council.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislature Legislative power] is dispersed using a bicameral system. The first chamber is oligarchic and consists of the nation's founders. This group is the ''Council of Elders''. Membership within this chamber of legislature is static and terms of office are indefinite. This, seemingly more stable, chamber of the legislature is granted the authority to veto any laws or legislative actions proposed by the citizenry. The Council is, however, required to obtain unanimity in order to veto any legislation. The second chamber of legislation is appointed by the Jarl, must include at least 3 members at all times, and consists of key advisors specializing in various trades. This more dynamic chamber of the legislative branch is the Huskarl council. This less restrictive institution is responsible for organizing efforts in commerce and trade. Huskarls are responsible for conducting trade missions, developing the organizations that regulate commercial activities, and overseeing labor efforts. Furthermore, Huskarls are tasked with securing the Jarldom's safety and organizing efforts of national defense.
The judiciary branch is limited in both size and scope; its sole purpose is the adjudication of legal processes. The judicial court consists of a single office, that of the Thane. A Thane is publicly elected and responsible for the determination of guilt or innocence in criminal and civil trials.
