Inner Party Nuncirist Congress

The Nuncirist (AM) Party of Solentia is a functional and large political party in the Solentian Republic, which operates with the ideology of Nuncirism. The party (which is usually abbreviated to NPS) currently holds several political offices and has 138 seats in the Parliament.

Party Leadership
Arguably the party leader is the Grand Viceroy of the Supreme Power, but recently a further entity was formed which is constitutionally higher than the Supreme Power, making its Ductor the supreme party leader. Since both the Ductor and the Grand Viceroy are the same person, it is irrelevant at the moment, but generally Vincent D. Garton, leader of the party, is referred to as the Grand Viceroy.

When a party leader dies, an Interim Government Committee is constitutionally made the collective party leadership. This Committee generally consists of the Shadow Prime Minister, the Secretary-General, one party member appointed by the Shadow Prime Minister, and two party members appointed by the Secretary-General.

Present Consensus Power
The Present Consensus Power is a decision-making organization that is slightly lower in constitutional terms than the Supreme Power. The PCP is elected by the Party on ideological basis, with each (permitted) sub-Nuncirist division receiving a select number of seats. The Gartonists currently dominate the Power and as such it acts purely as a rubber stamp for the Supreme Power and the Congress.

Grand Nuncirist Congress
The GNC convenes every two years to decide on issues of party policy, direction and general votes of constitutional importance. Typically speeches are given in the Congress first by the Secretary of Congress (who also acts as leader of the Party during the Congress's time period as well as deciding on policy matters out of Congress, and as such is arguably the second most powerful person in the Party), then the Grand Viceroy (see Supreme Power, below), followed by various Supreme Power members and finally any of the Congress attendees. The Secretary of Congress gives a speech every day in Congress to close and open proceedings.

Supreme Power
The Supreme Power is widely regarded as the highest decision-making body of the Party, containing the shadow (and functioning Nuncirist) Cabinet members, as well as the higher party positions. There are 18 Supreme Power members in total, all of whom are Gartonists but for one Mega-Statist (the Secretary-General).

Covenant of the Loyal
Next (and constitutionally higher) to the Supreme Power, one finds the Covenant of the Loyal. This organization consists of the Grand Viceroy's (or Ductor's, technically) most loyal supporters. It is widely regarded as an organization existing solely for the consolidation of power and more symbolic than functionary, since the Supreme Power makes decisions frequently without Covenant consultation. Indeed, so far the Covenant has only convened six times.

United Board of Conglomerates
The Party is composed of five Imperial Power Conglomerates, which are roughly equivalent to each region of Solentia. An IPC is headed by a Governor and a Chairing Conglomerate Governance with representation from every Higher Power in the Conglomerate. Each CCG sends four representatives and the Governor to the United Board of Conglomerates, which is chaired by the Grand Viceroy: thus having 26 members.

History
The Nuncirist movement originated as the Present-Time Imperialist Movement in the Imperial Tory Party, which briefly existed in Aloria. The ITP was a functioning party until the late 2240's, when the leadership abruptly collapsed, being held by a series of extremely weak leaders. The "Real ITP" stopped participating (seriously) in elections, although holding a good number of members. Amongst these members was Vincent A. Garton, former leader of the party.

A. Garton founded the Present-Time Imperialist Movement, but the final leader of the party was discontent with the Movement. He began persecuting the leaders and the members of this movement. With utter rebellion soon in sight, the leader foolishly kept doing this, until A. Garton led a significant rebellion which deposed and executed the Leader. Soon the rebels styled themselves "Nuncirists", reflecting Garton's ideology.

This led to the dissolution of the ITP and formation of the N(G)P. The N(G)P - or Nuncirist (Gartonic) Party was a shortlived incarnation of the party, soon becoming the Axis Mundi Nuncirist Party after joining the Axis Mundi synod. The AMNP did reasonably well in Aloria, getting into government with the full backing of the large Zionist Coalition.

Unfortunately for the Zionists, a revolution occurred in Aloria - the Alorian Revolution - which forced the Nuncirists to disband. The Alorian Old Guard, constituting the remnants of the Nuncirist Party, still held congresses for another four years, before they were wiped out themselves. Thankfully for the party, Garton had fled with one hundred other top-ranking Nuncirists to Solentia, forming the New Axis Mundi Nuncirist Junta with the support of many Solentian crypto-Nuncirists.

The NAMNJ styled itself the Axis Mundi Nuncirist Empire later, and got into government with the support of the Imperial Crusade and the Radical Alliance. Later, though, the Imperial Crusade mysteriously disbanded, and with D. Garton in power following A. Garton's death, the AMNE became its present incarnation, with less factionalism and more power centralization.

Recently D. Garton was elected President of the Solentian Republic, and the Nuncirists were convincingly made the largest party.

Powers
A power is an institution in the Nuncirist Party. It is a fundamental building block and can be alikened to a soviet in a Communist system. Powers are divided into Function Powers, Lower Powers and Higher Powers from least to most power. Using the class system, Function and Lower Powers are "Benefactors", whereas the Higher Powers are "Imperium". Functions are selected by Higher Sub-Power Committees on the Selection of Functionaries. Lower Powers are selected from Function Powers, and the Grand Viceroy personally supervises a list of promotions from Lower to Higher Powers.

The Supreme Power is the highest organ of the Party, superseded constitutionally only by the Covenant of the Loyal (a vague organization which tends not to have any real power). The Supreme Power is different from other powers in that it does not have sub-powers. Each Sub-Power has a Chairman and each power an Executive, other than a Function Power which has a Chairing Officer and the Supreme Power which has a Grand Viceroy.

Powers are grouped up into Conglomerates, which themselves are based on region. Each Imperial Power Conglomerate (or IPC) has a Governor and a Viceroy. The Viceroy is selected by the Grand Viceroy, and the Governor is elected by the Supreme Power. There is also a Deputy Governor but no deputy Viceroy. The Tesuhen IPC is more important than other IPC's due to its proximity and partial control of Garton Square, the Nuncirist HQ.

A power typically has twenty members, other than Higher Powers which have fifteen on average. Power names run in a strict format, "[IPC name] x. [Higher/Lower/Function] Conglomerated Power of the Nuncirist Party". Thus one might be a member of the Tesuhen I. Higher Conglomerated Power, or simply the 1st Tesuhen High Power as it can be called coloquially.
