Positions in Government

Reigning Monarch
The Monarch acts as the New South Prussia Head of State. Unlike most constitutional monarchies the reigning monarch is more then a figure head and has duties. These duties are ones that someone would normally expect from a president of a republic. The monarch's duties are the following:

Legislative Assembly Member
Legislative Assembly Members (which I will call LAMs to make this easier to write) are elected by the people of New South Prussia, and serve a 5 year term were they will need to be re-elected to keep their position. LAMs write and edit the bills and laws that get sent to the reining monarch for approval. The duties of the LAMs are the following:
- Writing and Editing bills
