Recently a deliberation had been convened in private. Many advisors, military personnel, and respectable individuals hand-picked from the populace in support for a Free Scotland had been called to this meeting. It was well known that Monarchial Governments were on the way out for Democracy in the new world, primarily, and sometimes Monarchies were even seen as immoral and questionable, as if Democracies were perfect. Many topics were held and many opinions made and heard; With the British Internationale being the formal government over occupied Scotland for several hundred years, many had become accustomed to Socialism and Communism. Many feared and hated Democracy for the original United Kingdom, seeing it as submission to another power and making them weak. It was very early in Scotlands attempted freedom, but it also knew it would eventually have to come up to speed with the rest of the world, and find its bearings as it developed independently. There was a need for a proper, formal government for (if and when) Scotland became liberated. The Queen not only agreed, encouragingly, but supported a meeting to discuss Scotlands, and her peoples, future. 

It had been decided to have something similar to an old Gaelic tradition, but a more modern form, with parts from other governments. For the time being, this was to be Scotlands government, all the way through regaining Scotland. After its liberation, time could only tell how it would develop. The Queen would address her people and bring them the news, bringing everyone into the fold. Other nations would also be alerted to the situation and ceremony as the Kingdom of Scotland would be changing governments, hopefully for the better. 

 

"To the people of Scotland, and other nations of the world. It has taken generations to come to this point, but it seems we are finally being recognized and respected as independent in the world. With the guarantee from the Allied States, the support from the United States of Northern Europe, the warm welcome from Mog Corp, and finally, the freedom of travel to our home - Scotland - by the British Internationale, it was decided we not only try to put effort towards gaining respect from these countries, but try to evolve the Scottish lives of our people, for the future, and prove we wre not senseless barbarians, but prideful, strong-hearted, and just as smart as any attempter! 

On this day, it has been decided that we will resign the government of an Absolute Monarchy, for a more peoples Monarchy. From this day forward, the Royal Family will no longer take the thrown by divine right, but only by the peoples choice. We will make great strides to restore the Church of Scotland to its former glory, and gain their respect and support. The Head of the Royal Family will be able to grant Nobility Titles to any Scottish Citizen they deem fit, and these Noble Families will be able to take the throne, so long as the People of Scotland choose them. The Throne should no longer be seen as a frightening possibility of cruelty and force. The Throne is here to be for the people, to make sure laws get passed, proper rules are put into place, and ensure the safety of the people with absolute military control. 

I, Queen Sorcha Catach, will sign the new Constitution, requiring the Ruler of Scotland, Absolute Rulership, but no power over the form of Government, nor permission to change any law that relates to the Government, guaranteeing this can not be changed in the future by any single Ruler, but can be changed by the people of Scotland, should they wish it. Please, we beg each and every one of our people, and the people of other nations, to speak up and give us your thoughts, as Scotland enters a new era of Freedom!"

 

Quote

Scotland is ruled by a Modern Form of Democratic Tanistry. The Church supports the Royal Family, and the Royal Family may freely make Social Titles of Nobility, which creates a Noble Family. The system of Government is lead by a Single Monarch (King or Queen), voted on by the citizens of Scotland. Candidates must be from the Royal Family, or the Noble Families, but any individual from these families can run. The Monarch rules for life. Once voted, the new Monarch chooses an Heir (a son or daughter) to take the throne when the Monarch dies, until another vote is cast. The new Monarch begins their rule in the following year, starting January 1st.

The government is related to Constitutional Monarchy, Tanistry, Absolute Monarchy, and Democracy; The ruling Monarch has full power, but can not go against the Constitution that disallows them to change anything having to do with the system of Government and how it is formed.

The voting system is based purely on meritocracy, and to ensure there is little to no corruption, every candidates campaign is funded solely by the government, at the same rate for every candidate, and no individual or company is allowed to make donations to the campaign.
