Fœderal Capital Territory

The Fœderal Capital Territory, incorporated under the name and form of an Administrator and Council of the Fœderal Capital Territory (formerly the "Fœderal Territory for the Seat of Government of the Confœderacy"), is an interstate territory in the west of the United States, enclaved within the State of California. The only city and by far the most populated community in the FCT is New Adana, the seat of the General Government of the United States. The FCT is legally a Fœderal condominium, incorporated by treaty under the joint sovereignty of the eighteen united States of North Aegea. The Fœderal Capital Territory, by law, both international and domestic, is equally the sovereign territory of each of the eighteen States, and through each of them, each State acting jointly with all eighteen of them, the Territory is governed, whereby the States, as joint sovereigns of the Territory, govern through a set of institutions: a bicameral legislature in the name and form of a Council of the Fœderal Capital Territory, a government appointed by and responsible to Council, and a judiciary consisting of a general-jurisdiction Superior Court, the appellate Court of Appeal (the Fœderal Capital Territory House of Regents serves as the Fœderal Capital Territory's court of last resort and constitutional court on all matters of FCT law; however, in certain circumstances, decisions rendered by the Regents may be appealed to the Federal Court of the United States). The Fœderal Capital Territory is organized under a form of the parliamentary system, called the Presidio Model, whereby the Administrator is appointed by Council &mdash;the House of Commons (the lower house of Council) appoints the Administrator on the recommendation of the House of Regents (the upper house of Council)&mdash; and he and his administration (government) serve at the pleasure of Council; however, unlike most parliamentary systems, the Administrator need not be a Member of either of the Houses of Council, making the the Fœderal Capital Territory system a hybrid of sorts, incorporating aspects of the council-manager system employed by various municipalities throughout USKO member States, as well as imbibing the concept of responsible government inherent in parliamentary systems.

The Fœderal Capital Territory is an Al­pha global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, finance, healthcare, law, philosophy, politics, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence (reword).

Administrator and Council
The Fœderal Capital Territory is a body politic and corporate established by federal treaty under the name and form of a Administrator and Council of the Fœderal Capital Territory.

According to the Fœderal Capital Territory charter, the FCT government (the FCT in its body politic and corporate form) is to operate pursuant to a variant of the parliamentary system known as the Presidio Model, in which the Administrator is appointed by the House of Commons (the lower house of Council) on the recommendation of the House of Regents (the upper house of Council), and both he and his Administration are individually as well as collectively responsible to the House of Regents for their actions.

Council
All legislative Powers that are by the FCT Organic Act granted to the Fœderal Capital Territory are vested in the Council of the Fœderal Capital Territory. Council is bicameral, and consists of a State-appointed upper house styled in the name and form of a "House of Regents" and a directly-elected lower house styled in the name and form of a "House of Commons". Council operates on a derivative of the parliamentary model. However, unlike almost every other parliamentary model, under the Presidio Model the upper house appoints the Executive, and have the Right of legislative Initiative; but shares with the House of Commons the Powers of the purse, recall, and impeachment.

In particular, that of Council's Power of ensuring Proper responsible Government, the House of Commons have the sole Power to pass Motions of no Confidence in the Executive, which must be approved by at least two-thirds of all the Members of the Commons. If the Commons pass a Motion of no Confidence in the Executive, then the Matter is immediately forwarded to the House of Regents for their decision. If ten or more of the eighteen Members of the Regents concur with the Commons then the Administrator and the Commission are dismissed, and the Regents immediately take on the task of recommending to the Commons a new Administrator and Commission.

The constitutional system of the Fœderal Capital Territory employs the use of a reverse-parliamentary system of sorts, whereby the upper-house (that is to say, the House of Regents) is the dominant house, and the lower house (the House of Commons) is much less powerful than lower houses in most other parliamentary systems. Even though both houses share the legislative Power of the Fœderal Capital Territory, in the event that there is a disagreement between the House of Regents and the House of Commons as to a Bill, and the reconciliation Committee fails to yield a compromise, the version approved by the Regents is adopted. The House of Commons, on the recommendation of the House of Regents, appoint the Administrator, while the Regents alone have the Power to confirm or reject Administratorial appointments; however, the Power to dismiss the Administrator and Commission is shared between the Regents and the Commons, and the consent of both Houses is necessary to the removal of the Executive. The House of Commons, on the other hand, do have the exclusive Power to initiate tax and spend Bills, but the House of Regents may propose or concur with amendments, as on other Bills; however, unlike in the Cases of other Bills, in the event of a disagreement between the Regents and the Commons as to a tax or spend Bill, not only do both versions fail but such a disagreement is considered a motion of no confidence in Executive, forcing the resignation of the Administrator and Commission.

As the Fœderal Capital Territory is the common/joint sovereign territory of all eighteen States, and as the House of Regents is composed of Members appointed by and responsible to the States, sovereignty over the City is vested solely in the House of Regents alone.

Holidays
As the Fœderal Capital Territory, by virtue of being the sovereign territory of the several States, held by each of them jointly with all of them, the holidays designated by each of them are, as by extent, designated holidays of the Fœderal Capital Territory. Not only are the religious holidays recognized and observed by each State extended to apply the Fœderal Capital Territory, but also their civic holidays as well: The laws of each State designating their national holidays, such as those commemorating their independence and their constitution, are also applied in the Fœderal Capital Territory on the same Terms and in the same Manner as if the FCT were a proper part of that State.
