Politics
Government
Kingdom of Savoy was a constitutional monarchy, with the old European tradition. The king directed the executive branch of government, as would do a president in a republic, but had some particularities in the distribution of powers. The Sovayards Citizens elected both Prime Ministers and Senate representatives. The Legislative branch of government was made from Senate where senators voted laws and propose them. Alongside with the Prime Minister, the Senate controlled the ministers, chosen by the King.
Subdivisions
Savoy was divided in 7 counties, which had a certain level of autonomy. They all had their own Senate which voted local laws but is controlled by the national Senate. The leader of a County was the Count. Counts formed the house of Counts in the national government.
