The Slavic Federation, often referred to as The Federation or SF,is a nation located in the Balkans, along the Black Sea, the Caucasus, and parts of Kazakhstan, plus assets on Antarctica and the Canary Islands. The Federation boasts a long coastline spanning the Adriatic, Black, and Caspian Seas, as well as the smaller Sea of Azov. The Slavic Federation is a union of two prominent Slavic states, the Kingdom of Caucasia and the Republic of Greater Dalmatia. Caucasia compromised the eastern portion of the Federation, ranging from Moldova to Kazakhstan, and Arkhangelsk, the Canaries, and the Antarctic base. Greater Dalmatia held the Balkan territory of the Federation. The Federation is a dual autocracy under the rule of an emperor from Caucasia and an emperor from Dalmatia, who, theoretically, have equal rule with the Senate.
Government[]
The Government of the Slavic Federation is divided into four branches; Emperors, Senate, People's Councils, Ministries, and the Slavic Imperial Court. The Constitution of the Slavic Federation is an unwritten set of guidelines and principles passed down mainly through precedent. After the Constitutional reorganization, the constitutional balance of power shifted from the Senate to the Emperor. Beginning with the first emperor. In theory, the emperor and the senate are technically two co-equal branches of government. In practice, however the actual authority of the imperial senate was negligible, as the emperor held the true power of the state.
Emperor[]
The powers of an emperor, (his imperium) existed, in theory at least, by virtue of his "tribunician powers" (potestas tribunicia) and his "proconsular powers". As holder of the office of First Man of the Senate, the Emperor declared the opening and closure of each Senate session, declared the Senate's agenda, imposed rules and regulation for the Senate to follow, and met with foreign ambassadors in the name of the Senate. The Emperor also held tribunician power. This gave the emperor the ability of personal inviolability (sacrosanctity) and the ability to pardon any civilian for any act, criminal or otherwise. By holding the powers of the tribune, the emperor could prosecute anyone who interfered with the performance of his duties. The emperor's tribuneship granted him the right to convene the Senate at his will and lay proposals before it, as well as the ability to veto any act or proposal by any magistrate, including the tribune of the plebians. Also, as holder of the tribune's power, the emperor would convoke the Council of the People, lay legislation before it, and served as the council's president, there making the Emperor the head of all Civil Government.
The Emperor was also granted the position of Imperium Maius. This position granted the emperor authority over all the provincial governors, making him the ultimate authority in provincial matters. With Imperium Maius, the emperor was also granted the power to appoint governors of imperial provinces without the interference of the Senate. Also, Imperium Maius granted the emperor the right to veto the governors of the provinces and even the reigning consul while in the provinces.
The Emperor of the Slavic Federation also holds numerous other positions. In his position as "Supreme Pontiff" or "Chief Priest", he is made the chief administrator of religious affairs, granting him the power to conduct all religious ceremonies, consecrate temples, control the Slavic calendar (adding or removing days as needed), appoint the vestal virgins and some flamens, lead the Collegium Pontificum, and summarize the dogma of all Slavic religion.
The Emperor also holds the position of Imperial Censor of the State. In his position as Imperial Censor, The Emperor had the right to supervise public morals and scrutinize laws to ensure they were in the public interest.
Other titles held by the Emperor is "Father of the Fatherland", which as an honorary title and Imperator or "Commander-in-Chief, which placed the Emperor in command of the Slavic Armed Forces.
Senate[]
While the Slavic assemblies continued to meet after the founding of the empire, their powers were all transferred to the Senate, and so senatorial decrees acquired the full force of law.
In theory, the emperor and the senate are two equal branches of government, but the actual authority of the senate was negligible and it was largely a vehicle through which the emperor disguised his autocratic powers under a cloak of republicanism. Still prestigious and respected, the Senate is largely a glorified rubber stamp institution which had been stripped of most of its powers, and was largely at the emperor's mercy.
During senate meetings, the emperor sits between the two consuls and and usually acted as the presiding officer. Higher ranking senators spoke before lower ranking senators, although the emperor could speak at any time.

History[]
Formation[]
The Slavic Federation can find it's roots in the Kingdom of Caucasia and the Republic of Greater Dalmatia. The two nations had signed an Mutual Defense Optional Aggression pact, and their bonds strengthened through that and the Eurasian Union. On February 17, 2010, the two nations signed an agreement to merge together in a Constitutional Monarchy, with James II of Caucasia becoming monarch over the new nation, and Dalmatian Prime Minister Alex Pradeux became the head of government.
Reformation of the Government[]
On May 8, 2010, the Slavic Federation announced that it was no longer a constitutional monarchy, but a dual monarchy, under the rule of Emperors James Drake II and Alex Pradeux, with a reformed Senate and new or removed governmental bodies.
Economics[]
Slavic economics oppose both international socialism and liberal capitalism, arguing that their views represented a third way. They claim to provide a realistic economic alternative that was neither laissez-faire capitalism nor communism. They favoured corporatism, a political system in which economy is collectively managed by employers, workers and state officials by formal mechanisms at national level, and class collaboration, believing that the existence of inequality and separate social classes was beneficial (contrary to the views of socialists). Nordlandic politicians argue that the state had a role in mediating relations between these classes (contrary to the views of liberal capitalists).
An inherent aspect of the Slavic economy is economic dirigisme, meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence, and effectively controls production and allocation of resources. In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, the economy is based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state. For example, an owner of agricultural land may be compelled to raise wheat instead of sheep and employ more labor than he would find profitable. To support these rules, the Stothring initiated the following following rules, in regards to economics. The Labour Charter of Slavic Economic Power, promulgated by the Imperial Senate, stated in article 7: "The corporative State considers private initiative, in the field of production, as the most efficient and useful instrument of the Nation", then goes on to say in article 9: "State intervention in economic production may take place only where private initiative is lacking or is insufficient, or when are at stakes the political interest of the State. This intervention may take the form of control, encouragement or direct management."
In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class. "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social." The government encourages the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.
