History
Early development
Independence
On 7 August 2024, it was established that the form of government would be a Empire with Mark as the Emperor who would take on the regnal name of Mark of New Canada. After a week of writing, the Declaration of independence was officially signed by the State Chancellor of New Canada, as his first act in office.
Politics
Government
According to the Constitution, New Canada is governed under a constitutional monarchy, with His Majesty the Emperor as Head of State. The executive power is exercised by the State Chancellor as the Head of Government, who presides over the Government Council. The prerogative to propose and promulgate laws belongs to the Emperor, while the Reichstrat gets to modify and adopt them. This shared legislative power is also applied for every revision of the Constitution.
Paloma is a kingdom with 10 provinces and three territories.
The federal government comprises three branches:
- Legislative: The bicameral Reichstrat, made up of representatives of the provinces, makes federal law, approves treaties and can impeach government members with approval of the President of the Reichstrat.
- Executive: The Emperor is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Forces, can veto legislative bills before they become law and other powers more marked by the New Canadian Constitution. The State Chancellor, currently Eliot Carrier, is the Head of the Government of New Canada.
- Judicial: The Supreme Court, whose judges are appointed by the Emperor, interpret laws and overturn those they find unconstitutional.
The Reichstrat has ten voting members, each representing a province. Reichstrat seats belong to the representatives of each province which are de jure elected by the provincial citizens. Each state recives around one seat unless the population of the province is over 5. The Reichstrat also has seats for its territories which act as non-voting members during meetings.

However, de jure recognition is not given out to States which have views aligned with the far-right. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains a list of states which received official mutual recognition from New Canada.
