The government of the Iromakuanhe Astral Commonwealth is a tightly-knit confederacy of the planetary, lunar and orbital colonies of the Iruotl System, composed of an assembly of representatives elected by the people of their home districts, the assembly selected ministers of the Iromakuanhe Conclave, and the figurehead government representative known as the Makuzhar.
It operates with a significant amount of laissez-faire in rapport to its individual colonies, sharing a common military force and only intervening with lower levels of government when it fails to meet the mandate of the various ministries.
Because of the large number of inhabitants it possesses, the Astral Commonwealth relies on a complicated network of governmental houses, councils and ministries to function effectively. The people elect their representatives in the House of Speakers and the members of their municipal, district and planetary (colonial) government. The Conclave and various ministries consist of government officials who are selected by the House for their competence or backgrounds, from which the figurehead leader known as the Makuzhar is elected.
The system is bureaucratic by nature, with the middle areas of leadership having the most practical power. The “head of state” is more or less a spokesperson with veto rights and political power that outweighs any one member of the House or Conclave.
