Powers and responsibilities

As ruler of Murjanica the king/queen will approve and supervise all current major issues occurring in the country. Anything that happens or changes for the good of the country must be approved by the king/queen, but because Murjanica is a peaceful monarchy, which respects their citizens and their opinions, the people are allowed to submit their suggestions and opinions. The ruler is only the supervisor and the major decision maker.
Below the king/queen is the Consultation Group. They are in charge of the three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judiciary) and watch over the checks-and-balances; they will also advise the ruler on major decisions. However, to assure that they do not become too powerful, any initiative taken to change a certain aspect (law, act, bill, etc.) must filter through common consent, the three houses and the ruler.

The three branches of government that reside next is the Consultation Group. They will handle anything that involves laws, justice, and government power.
There are the different departments that handle everything else. Department will include everything from Department of Agriculture, to the Department of the Fine Arts, to the Department of Food. There are minute versions of these within each of the smaller states. They will handle everything else according to their position. The ruler must approve anything major. Minor issues will go through the House of Rita, a sub-group under the departments.
