County of Republic City, FCT

New Adana, incorporated under the name and form of a Mayor and Council of New Adana, is the seat of the Government of the United States. The city is legally a Fœderal condominium, incorporated by treaty under the joint sovereignty of the eighteen States that comprise the United States of North Aegea. New Adana, 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 the other seventeen States, the government of the city is carried out, whereby the States, as joint sovereigns of the city, govern through a legislature called Council of New Adana (each State is sends one councillor of the 18-member body). New Adana is organized under a form of the parliamentary system, whereby the Mayor is chosen by Council, and he and his administration serve at their pleasure; however, unlike most parliamentary systems, the Mayor need not be a Member of Council, making the New Adana system a hybrid of sorts, incorporating aspects of the council-manager system employed by various municipalities, as well as imbibing the concept of responsible government inherent in parliamentary systems.

New Adana 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).

Mayor and Council
New Adana is a body politic and corporate established by treaty under the name and form of a Mayor and Council of New Adana.

According to the New Adana city charter, the city government is to operate under a variant of the parliamentary system, in which the mayor is chosen by the city council, and both he and his Administration are individually and collectively responsible to Council.

Council
The legislative power of New Adana is vested in the Council of New Adana. Council is bicameral, and consists of a State-appointed upper house styled House of Regents and a directly-elected lower house styled House of Commons. Council operates on a derivative of the parliamentary model. However, unlike almost every other parliamentary model, under the New Adana model the upper house appoints the Executive, and has the right of legislative initiative; but shares with the House of Commons the powers of the purse and to recall the Commission.

In particular, that of Council's power of ensuring proper responsible government, the House of Commons has the sole power to pass votes 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 passes a motion of no confidence in the Executive, then the matter is forwarded to the House of Regents for their decision. If ten out of eighteen Members of the House of Regents concur with the House of Commons, the tenure of the Commission is revoked, and the House of Regents immediately takes on the task of appointing a new Commission.
