apparatchiks.exnet.su / posts / a new separation of powers: five branches of government

Unlike most constitutions that divide government into three parts, this one splits it into five:

  • Legislative
  • Executive
  • Administrative
  • Judicial
  • Monetary

Each branch serves a clearly partitioned role—most radically, executive power is only allowed to operate internationally, while domestic governance is managed by an Administrative Branch appointed entirely by the legislature.

The Executive Branch: Foreign-Only Power

The President, as head of the Executive Branch, holds no domestic authority. Their mandate is strictly:

  • Foreign diplomacy and ambassadorial appointments
  • Military command outside national borders
  • Oversight of international agreements, trade negotiations, and treaties
  • Management of overseas territories and extraterritorial jurisdiction
  • Participation in global institutions (e.g., UN, WTO, international courts)

The National Security Council under the Executive may conduct foreign intelligence but is banned from any domestic surveillance - a task left to another branch entirely.

The Administrative Branch: Domestic Governance Without a President

All domestic government operations—public services, departments, ministries—are handled by the Administrative Branch. Notably:

  • Ministers are appointed from among elected legislators, reflecting democratic will.
  • There is no prime minister or executive head of this branch.
  • The Homeland Intelligence Agency conducts all domestic surveillance but is barred from foreign operations.

This design severs the traditional concentration of domestic power in a single executive leader.

The Legislative Branch: Dual Chambers with Functional and Credential Distinctions

The legislature is divided into:

  • The Consulate – a lower house of directly elected representatives of the people.
  • The Senate – a chamber with optional department-specific titles, e.g., Senator of Health or Senator of Justice.

Senate innovations include:

Credential-based eligibility: To run for a titular Senate seat (e.g., Senator of Justice), candidates must hold accredited qualifications (e.g., law degree).

  • Titles confer no additional power, but serve as electoral signals of competence.
  • Title candidacy does not penalise reallocation: If a candidate loses the titular vote, they can still win a standard seat based on vote count.

This adds technocratic signalling to democratic elections without undermining universal suffrage.

The Monetary Branch: A Non-partisan Fiscal Check

The Monetary Branch is empowered to:

  • Control treasury placement in commercial banks and influence cash rates.
  • Set minimum revenue requirements the legislature must meet via taxation.
  • Issue treasury bonds without restriction on volume (though structure can be regulated).
  • Enforce government shutdown by withholding treasury access if obligations are unmet.

Its structure:

A council of economic professionals appointed by the Executive from within the Administrative Branch.

  • Requires transparent reporting and press releases.
  • Designed to avoid partisanship while imposing long-term fiscal discipline.

Importantly, if the Monetary Branch becomes dysfunctional, the government shuts down, and its officials are automatically suspended, forcing legislative resolution without violating constitutional procedure.


Comments

All these branches and legislatures and whatnot make my head spin. All we need for a stable society is STRONG FAMILY VALUES, a SLIMMING of the WELFARE STATE and a return to COAL
