Government of Zaizung
The Zaizung government is structured into the 8 traditional ministries of the pre-Olboros Qonklese system. These are the Ministries of Control, Examination, Justice, War, Finance, Rites, Works, and Personnel. The Central Committee is made up of the 8 heads of the ministries along with a "first among equals" chancellor elected on a 5? year term. The chancellor is mostly there to break ties and greet foreign dignitaries, but retains few powers outside of presiding over the Central Committee. The ministries of Control and Examination are explicity kúúlist, but the other 6 are all open to every citizen, and the ones that are democratic allow all parties to run candidates.
Zaizung did not adopt the 5 Mè system of modern Qonklaks. The 1902 Zaizung Republic was setting up a government before the 1903 Qonklese Republic, and the post-GEW government was set up by the Helsonians, and with memories of fascist Qonk occupation in everyone's minds.
Because it was a revival of a system that hadn't been in use in Industrial times, there are plenty of weird quirks of where modern departments would go.

potentially in charge of: information gathering/secret service? policing? regulating the other ministries? regulating industry?

Does this just have the military's hierarchy?
Potential duties: waging war foreign relations? policing? Also does intercity trains?
Ministry of Finance

Ministry of Personnel
traditionally assembling manpower, becomes an outpost of the labor unions Vote, by industry (each industry chooses their proportional reps, most do it by some type of votes) Do I want "home workers" (self-employed, stay at home parents) to be an "industry"? not originally, but becomes part of this? Duties include unions tourism? port maintenence? running the trains? runs only the urban trains? farming regulations? industry regulations? education? running state owned media?
Council of Nine
Consists of the Chancellor and the heads of the 8 Ministries

Legislative Process
Any ministry can propose legislation First, it goes through an internal review in its own ministry Then, it is proposed to the Council of Nine Then, it goes through ministries for review? Then it is voted on by each ministry needs review from 6 of the 8? does the council of 9 have veto power?
