Government

Main article: Government of Hakkubon

Hakkubon is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. The government operates under a structure that balances centralized authority with significant autonomy for its regional prefectures, ensuring that both national and local interests are represented. It is divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial, each with distinct responsibilities.

The executive branch is led by the Kōtei (皇帝), the ceremonial monarch who represents the cultural and historical identity of the nation. While the Kōtei holds no legislative or executive powers, their role includes formally appointing the Prime Minister, endorsing parliamentary decisions, and fulfilling ceremonial duties. The head of government is the Shushō (首相), or Prime Minister, who oversees the implementation of policies, manages international relations, and directs the day-to-day administration of the government. The Shushō is elected by the lower house of parliament, the Shūmin’in (衆民院), and formally appointed by the Kōtei. The Prime Minister chairs the Seikaku Gikai (政閣議会), or Council of Ministers, which is composed of cabinet members responsible for managing key national ministries, such as defense, finance, and education. The Council of Ministers executes laws passed by parliament and addresses national and regional governance issues.

The legislative branch, known as the Renpō Kokkai (連邦国会), is a bicameral parliament consisting of the Shūmin’in (衆民院) and the Chihō’in (地方院). The Shūmin’in, or House of the People, is the lower house and is directly elected by citizens through proportional representation. It serves as the principal legislative body, responsible for drafting laws, approving budgets, and selecting the Shushō. The Chihō’in, or Council of Regions, represents the prefectures and is composed of members elected or appointed by regional legislatures. It focuses on reviewing and amending legislation, particularly on matters related to regional governance and autonomy. The bicameral structure ensures that both the population and the prefectures have a voice in the legislative process.

The judicial branch is headed by the Saikō Hōtei (最高法廷), or Supreme Court, which ensures that all laws and policies comply with the federal constitution. The Supreme Court also mediates disputes between the central government and the prefectures, protecting the constitutional balance of power. Beneath the Supreme Court are the Chihō Hōtei (地方法廷), or Regional Courts, which oversee legal matters specific to their jurisdictions, ensuring that justice is consistent and accessible across the federation. These courts handle cases related to regional laws and provide oversight on issues that do not require intervention from the Supreme Court.

Administrative Territories

Main article: Administrative Territories of Hakkubon

Hakkubon is divided into six prefectures—Amazuka, Kazuno, Keiko, Kitakamakawa, Sumiura, and Hokutagawa—along with the National Capital Region (中央首都区, Chūō Shuto-ku). The prefectures operate under a semi-autonomous system, with elected governors and regional assemblies managing local affairs such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. They also have authority over regional taxation and legislation within the framework of the federal constitution, while the central government oversees national matters such as defense, foreign policy, and monetary policy.

The National Capital Region (NCR) is located at the center of Sumiura (水村県, Sumiura-ken) and shares its main city, Sumiura (水村), which serves as both the federal capital and the prefectural capital. While the NCR has its own administrative framework, governed by an appointed Capital Administrator (首都長官, Shuto Chōkan) and an elected Capital Assembly (首都議会, Shuto Gikai), it remains closely integrated with Sumiura Prefecture. Many of the prefecture's regional offices and administrative functions are located in the NCR, fostering a shared governance system.

The NCR manages national-level responsibilities, such as overseeing federal institutions and coordinating major infrastructure projects. Sumiura Prefecture retains authority over broader regional governance, including public services, economic development, and local transportation networks. The cooperation between the NCR and Sumiura ensures that both local and national priorities are addressed effectively. Prefectures and the NCR are represented in the Council of Regions (地方院, Chihō’in), ensuring their interests are reflected in national legislation. This arrangement allows the NCR to function as the central hub of the nation while maintaining strong ties to the surrounding prefecture.
