The Queendom of Shaharazad
Military
The Shaharazad military is led by a Daimyo appointed by the Queen and confirmed by HMD with a majority vote. The Daimyo commands the entire military and is only subservient to the Queen and majority votes from HMD.
- Her Majesty's Royal Army (land-based operations)
- Her Majesty's Royal Fleet (sea & star side operations)
- Her Majesty's Royal Knights (specialty) (the Royal Knights are Landed Knights, making them nobility within the Queendom, regardless of their birth, and granted a fief on the Queen's behalf. The Royal Knights are legally loyal only to the Queen while the Fleet and Army answer first to the Daimyo)

Ruling Organization
Legislative Body
The Queendom is broken up into Provinces composed of conquered or purchased territories. Each territory has its own Province Diet which is the legislative branch for that territory. From each Province's Diet, representatives are selected according to the laws and customs of that province based ultimately on population. These representatives are Delegates to the Shaharazadian Diet, and they make up the Queendom's diet, Her Majesty's Diet (HMD). The HMD regulates legislation on a broad level but specific implementation, interruptation, and ratification are handled by the Province's Diets. Legislation passed up to HMD must have majority votes from each Province's Diet. Once it reaches HMD, 2/3rds majority is needed. Delegates from more popular Provinces have votes worth more than lesser Provinces. Once it passes HMD, it needs to be approved by the Queen but HMD can force legislation into law via an Act of the Royal Diet in the event that the Queen rejects or blocks it. Legislation moving down is dictated to HMD who put together the formal legislation and get approval from the Queen before voting on it with a majority 2/3rds taking the victory. After this, the legislation is passed down to the Provinces, and their Diets must interrupt, implement, and ratify the law. Once any legislation passes HMD it will become law but precisely how it is interrupted and implemented is left up to the Provinces. Conversely, if a majority of Province Diets refuse to ratify the legislation, it is forced back into HMD and the process starts again.
Judicial Body
The Path of Justice is the highest court in the Empire, ruled by the Eye of Justice, a Hereditary Honor that has and will remain exclusive to The Ryah-Xiqgioheid Dynasty those who have commanded the Path since the Empire's founding. The Shaharazad Path of Justice is the highest judicial body within the Queendom administered by judges appointed by the Queen and confirmed by the POJ directly. Each Province within the Queendom has courts that need to be recognized by the Shaharazad Path of Justice for legal authority as well. Provinces Justice Paths (PJP) have Judges appointed by the Duchess and confirmed by the Shaharazad Path of Justice.
Executive Body
The Queen of Shaharazad is an inherited position following The Ryah-Medeid Dynasty Line of Succession according to the dynasty's laws. The Queen rules the Queendom and the Queendom is made up of Provinces and each Province is ruled by a Duchess (or Duke) who is appointed or elected according to the laws and traditions of each Province. The Queen has to confirm each Duchess when they take office, if the Queen refuses to confirm the Duchess the Province's Diet can forcibly confirm the Duchess with supporting votes from a majority of the other Province Diets. Otherwise, a new Duchess will need to be selected or the Province can bring their case before the Shaharazad Path of Justice.
