Government organization is shown above (actual number of parliamentary standing committees not represented). The standing committees, constitutional institutions, and agencies under the Skałaprawa are divided between the two houses according to their respective jurisdiction. The Sejm, as the upper house, legislates foreign and military policy. The Judicial Committee of the Sejm serves as the highest court of appeal in the Grand Republic. The Azeting passes financial and domestic legislation.

After Solidarist Party monopoly ended in 1992, Severoszlavia follows a policy of Solidarist pluralism. The Central Committee of the Solidarist Party leads policymaking in the Skałaprawa, the national legislature. Other parties and organizations must profess the Solidarist ideology in order to participate. The Central Committee appoint officials to implement policy through the Government of the Grand Republic, a separate but parallel institution to the party. Like the Skałaprawa, all bureaucrats must be members of the party. Commoners elect low-level government officials in the municipal and provincial radas and their executive units. A gentry azeting, elected by the local nobility, serve legislative and executive functions in a viceregency. The borders of the viceregencies were created based on the agreement of two or more neighboring gentry azetings to settle geographic, cultural, and functional issues. Their vice-regents, representatives of imperial power, are appointed by the Minister of Internal Affairs. For the entire Grand Republic, the Imperial Council is the national executive. The government operates through the ministries and the viceregencies. Through these arteries that comprise the government, the party issues its directive to rule and shape the nation to its vision.

"Severoszlavia Introduced in Mercanti and Adrienno-Szlavonic" by Aleksandra Aleksandrowna Krasińska
Published in 2005

Naming Customs: Patronymics
There are two forms of patronymics used in Severoszlavia: Adriennic and Arcanstotskan. According to the Surname Law, a patronymic is written after the given name. It is said that one could tell that a family is either an ancient or a modern lineage based on their patronymic. If a family used Adriennic patronymics, they could trace their origins to the Adriennic Empire. A family using Szlavonic patronymics could have started or arrived here from Arcanstotska sometime around 1250.

Adriennic patronymics
The Adriennic patronymic "-syn" (male) and matronymic "-tar" (female) are the oldest patronymic forms in Severoszlavia used as nobiliary particles for the hird (Andrennian nobility). Ordinary Andrennian and Ardelean people have adopted Adriennic patronymics as surnames. In Mercanti, "-syn" could be understood to mean as "son of-" and "tar" as "daughter of-."

Its use started during Adriennic rule (10 CE-276 CE) and continues to the present. Unlike the Andrennians, the Adriennic patronymics were not totally abolished. They were integrated in the Severoszlavian naming customs and registry, but Andrennian commoners stopped using the patronymics.

It was originally "-sson" for males and "-dottar" for females before it took on its modern forms:

Male:

• Add "-syn" at the end of a given name
• Example: If the father's name is "Jan," the patronymic would be "Jansyn."

Female:

• Add "tar" at the end of a given name
• Example: If the father's name is "Jan," the matronymic would be "Jantar."

Szlavonic patronymics
Arcanstotskan naming customs are commonly used in Severoszlavia, including the patronymic "-owicz" and matronymic "-owna." But it did not become prominent until Arcanstotskan tsar Alexei II (1566-1612) became Severoszlavian cesarz. His reign was a golden age of science, wealth, and art dominated by Arcanstotskan culture. Intermarriages with Arcanstotskan nobility were sought after by the Ingwigardian noble and merchant classes. The Szlavonic male "-vich" and female "-ovna" evolved into the following:

Male:

• Add "-owicz" at the end of a given name
• Example: If the father's name is "Jan," the patronymic would be "Janowicz."

Female:

• Add "-owna" at the end of a given name
• Example: If the father's name is "Jan," the patronymic would be "Janówna."

"Early Years of the Solidarist Party" by Laurus Andrzejewicz Kartaszow
Translated by the Central Committee of the Solidarist Party
Originally published in 1928

Chapter 4: Birth of Solidarism

L. A. Kartaszow (L) and K. D. Jakubowski (R), 1918​

After the intense conflict between socialists and fascists that marked the Czerwona Dekada, there was a brief resumption of peace between rival parties and opposite ideological movements. They reoriented their efforts towards preparations for the first multi-party elections in 1919. I called for the 1918 Syndicalist conference to prepare a new platform. I observed that the public have started to warm up to the idea of a democratically-elected socialist government. A revolutionary government was no longer necessary. If the Syndicalist Party were to consider more moderate policies in time for the elections, there might be a chance for victory, at least to gain enough seats to form a formidable opposition.

I invited Rune Leth, the leader of the Prydanian syndicalist movement, to be a guest speaker at the party conference. Their embrace of parliamentarism rewarded him with a large caucus in a conservative society such as Prydania. Our own moderates were eager to learn from him.

Leth asked to meet a "Kuzma Denisowicz Jakubowski." The young man Jakubowski was ignored by the party leadership, myself included. He was born to a marcher hirdman of the Wieluńsky. Jakubowski was his pen name. His actual name was "Magnus Jakubsyn Päijänne." Solidarists could be quite xenophobic towards Ardeleans because of anti-multiculturalism.

We were not aware about Jakubowski's growing popularity among the younger members, especially the women. Leth was more interested in what Jakubowski had to say. Soon, I was swept along with democratic socialists and mainstream syndicalists in our admiration for who would become the greatest mind of the Solidarist movement.

In his maiden speech to the party conference, Jakubowski introduced the "Principles of National-Republicanist-Syndicalism," the basis for the future "Solidarist Manifesto":

1. Rejection of Picardism: To reject the notions of class struggle, internationalism, the proletariat dictatorship, and a classless society. Jakubowski claimed Picardist manifestos have "misinterpreted Remy Picard" or "manipulated by narcissists" and the resulting common set of socialist ideals are "unproductive" and "fantasmic" that to enforce them would be "unnatural."
2. Organic Hierarchy: The principle of National Syndicalism on classes is adopted. Instead of dismantling the classes, social hierarchy must be recognized and celebrated. Class inequality is natural and necessary in an "organic and functional social structure."
3. Dignified and Efficient: Reinterpretation of the two nations of Severoszlavia, "lechia" (nobility) and "people", as two elements of a syndicalist society: "Dignified" and "efficient."
   • Dignified element: Jakubowski adopted the integralist doctrine of "preserving the patrimonial traditions" of Severoszlavia. The lechia, the ancient capital-creating class, represents the dignified element, providing political and cultural leadership that guides the efficient element and protects Severoszlavian culture and heritage.
   • Efficient element: Based on fascist theory, the natural state of society is impotent because the people are divided and a divided people are weak. In order for the people to reach its full potential and become "efficient," the government itself must "enforce unity in all levels of society" to transform the people into a "cohesive and harmonious entity," working together towards a common cause. This entity must submit to the dignified element for leadership and discipline. Only then could the efficient element achieve the strength and resilience needed to maximize the talents of human industry.
4. United under One Governing Class: Class collaboration or "true solidarity" must be promoted among the four classes of Severoszlavia: Nobility, scholars, workers, and merchants. He believed there was no need to exclude or persecute the bourgeoisie. A truly syndicalist society must adopt National Republicanism, accept the class hierarchy, and recognize an elite governing class in the dignified element, the "natural leaders of Severoszlavia."
5. Class Representation: Inspired by National Republicanism, the four classes must have equal representation. Using the principles of corporatism, they must collaborate and support each other.

Published in 2005

Naming Customs: Surnames
Family history could be traced to the meaning of surnames. A surname is either written after a given name or a patronymic. It could be any of the five forms of surnames in Severoszlavia: Parental, occupational, locational, descriptive, or decorative. Due to the inconsistent use of surnames prior to 1870, the Surname Law requires all families in the country to adopt hereditary, family names.

Parental

Original image:
"Kai Agnarrsson and the Pope" by Erik Thorsson, 1615
​

The parental surnames in Severoszlavia were previously patronymics and matronymics re-adopted in the modern registry as surnames. From the word "parental," the surname comes from the given name of the father, which is called a "patronymic," or the given name of the mother, which is then called a "matronymic." They originally indicated the identity of the person's parent. There are many forms of parental surnames in Severoszlavia:

• Szlachta patronymics: Ingwigardian is the founding culture of Severoszlavia. They adopted the Szlachta patronymic as a parental surname. Originally, it was used exclusively by the ancient Ingwigardian nobility or szlachta. The szlachta abandoned its use when commoners started using the patronymic in the 19th Century. They are unique because they change if a person is male ("-ski" at the end of a surname) or female ("-ska" at the end of a surname).
• Old Szlavonic patronymics: Before the Szlavonic patronymic "-vich" (male) and matronymic "-ovna" (female), there were the Old Szlavonic "-ov" (male) and "-ova" (female). The Old Szlavonic patronymics were re-adopted as surnames and could be easily found among Severoszlavians of Arcanstotskan descent. Older families that assimilated rewrote the Szlavonic patronymics, from "-ov" to "-ow" and "-ova" to "-owa."
• Goyanean patronymic: Goyanean migration was encouraged during the reign of Jonasz the Conqueror in the 18th Century to repopulate the war-torn territories in Western Severoszlavia. Among them were intellectuals and military officers who helped Jonasz in modernizing Severoszlavia. They were rewarded with nobility and are considered part of the hirdmen, the local Andrennian nobility. Like most migrants, the Goyanean hirdmen were commoners themselves and kept the Goyanean patronymic "-sson" when they were ennobled.
• Alemaner patronymics: Migrants from Frisia and Hessunland also came with the Goyaneans in the 18th Century. They settled in Western Severoszlavia and Większe Wieluń (Greater Valamo). Often poor, many became tenant farmers under Goyanean and Ingwigardian landlords. The Alemaner migrants brought with them two patronymics:
  • The Ric patronymic involves adding the "-rich" (based on the Gotic "ric" which means "ruler" or "king") at the end of a father's name and it is well-liked because it conveyed strength or a powerful destiny. Examples include "Ludrich" from "Ludwig" or "Gerhardrich" from "Gerhard."
  • The Taufname patronymic is a straightforward adoption of a father's taufname (baptismal name) or given name as a surname: Ernst Ludwig, Karl Wilhelm, Fritz Bruno.
• Adriennic patronymic: With the exception of the hird, most Ardeleans abandoned the use of patronymics and adopted them as surnames.
• Vanniri patronymic: The "-nen" was used as both patronymic and matronymic. Both have been adopted by Ardeleans as surnames.

Occupational

An occupational surname was adopted based on an ancestor's profession or business. This varies among Severoszlavians, especially if they had ancestors who came from other nationalities that spoke different languages where they have unique names for each occupation. Sometimes, they do not use the name of the occupation itself: The Ingwigardian surname "Nowak" or "new man" was used to call new workers and residents.

Locational

A locational surname is derived from the name of an ancestor's place of birth or where they lived. An Ingwigardski locational surname commonly ends in "-czyk", "-szczak," or "żak." The Szchlacta patronymic "-ski" is also used. The name could have been based on the geographical feature of a place. With the different nationalities that migrated and assimilated, many Severoszlavian locational surnames are named after places all over the world. A locational surname could also be derived from the name of the ancestor's origin country. Like Goyaneczyk (Goyanes), Arcanszczak (Arcanstotska), Fryzyjczyk (Frisia), or Santonżak (Saintonge).

Descriptive

Descriptive surnames were derived from the nicknames of ancestors. These nicknames usually describe the ancestor's physical appearance. This includes the color, style, and length of hair, or a person's height or width, even personality. There are many foreign words used in Severoszlavian surnames that describe these traits. Sometimes, the nickname is a shortened version of an ancestor's given name such as "Grzeg" from "Grzegorz" or "Bas" from "Basia."

Decorative

A decorative surname was also derived from an ancestor's nickname, but instead of describing an ancestor's appearance or shortening their name, they describe a part or trait of the ancestor in a poetic way. This is done by associating the ancestor with a non-human characteristic that has a special meaning for the person it describes. These include animals, plants, and minerals.

"Oaths to the Severoszlavian Cesarz"
gotykpedia.org.sz
Gotykmedia Foundation

Soldiers of the Imperial Army taking the Oath of Service, 1963​

Organizations of the Solidarist Party, the Severoszlavian civil service, and the Imperial Forces require an oath to swear allegiance to the cesarz (Severoszlavian emperor). The oaths were written to merge loyalty to the Severoszlavian monarchy, a national symbol for Severoszlavian identity, unity and pride, with loyalty to the Solidarist Party.

Background
Originally, the oaths specified allegiance to the cesarz by name. This ended in 1935 on the "Decree on the Allegiance of the Government and the Imperial Forces." It was the aftermath of the 1934 Solidarist Revolution. Carlo I refused to recognize State Chancellor Mikhail Putilov, the coup leader, as Regent of Severoszlavia. In retaliation, Putilov secretly ordered the "De-Imperialization" of the government to limit the personal influence of the monarch.

In 1935, Putilov went on a national tour and visited the crowded urban areas and the countryside. He discovered that the ordinary Severoszlavian saw the cesarz as a near divine figure. Laurus Kartaszow wrote in his 1928 book Early Years of the Solidarist Party that "In the eyes of the people, the cesarz and the lechia [Severoszlavian nobility] could not do anything wrong or commit any sin because they were God's emissaries on Earth." This could be traced in history, shortly after the death of Alexei II in 1612. During his reign, the cesarz's powers increased at the expense of lechia privileges. To control future cesarzs, the lechia defied the trend of absolutism. In Severoszlavia, only the nobility has the divine right to rule as "God's lieutenants." It is their inherent right to chose the monarch. The coronation for the cesarz was replaced by an enthronement where the cesarz swears allegiance to the lechia. This unique phenomena is referred to as lechia worship.

An imperial cult was cultivated by Putilov to extend the lechia worship to the Solidarist Party. As much as possible, symbols of the Solidarist Party and the Severoszlavian monarchy were used simultaneously in official party and state occasions. This became inseparable as the fascist Putilov faction consolidated total control of the Syndicalist Party, renamed the "Solidarist Party" by the end of 1935.

"Decree on the Allegiance of the Government and the Imperial Forces"
Signed by Mikhail Larionowicz Putilow, Regent and State Chancellor of Severoszlavia
Originally published in 1935
Digitized by the Collection of Legislations and Orders of the Government

His Imperial Majesty, Karol the First, by the Will of the Grand Republic, the Severoszlavian Cesarz, has graciously deigned to commission his Most Loyal and Most Illustrious Regent Mikhail Larionowicz Putilow to make the following decree on the oaths to be taken by members of the Civil Service Corps and soldiers of the Imperial Forces:

Article 1. Members of the Civil Service Corps and soldiers of the Imperial Forces must take an oath of service on entering service.

Article 2. The oath of service in the Civil Service Corps shall be: I shall serve the Severoszlavian Cesarz, abide by the laws and Constitution of the Grand Republic of Severoszlavia, defend the legacy of the Solidarist Revolution, and fulfill the duties of a Civil Servant conscientiously, to the best of my knowledge and will. So help me God! Amen."

Article 3. The oath of service in the Imperial Forces shall be: I swear, before Almighty God and Mary the Blessed Virgin, faithful allegiance and unconditional obedience to the Severoszlavian Cesarz, the supreme commander of the Imperial Forces. I swear to guard his honor, uphold his laws, to faithfully obey the orders of his Solidarist commanders and officials, to preserve his secrets, to fight for him to the last breath in my chest, to always behave so as to live and die as a true Severoszlavian soldier. So help me God! Amen."

"Oath of the Red Youth"

Red Youth

When a child reaches the age of 4, they are required to join the scouts of the Red Youth. As the first-line of defense against the ideological enemies of Severoszlavia, they ensure the future of our Solidarist state by learning the importance of "loyalty to the Severoszlavian Cesarz." To be loyal to the Cesarz and the Solidarist Party is to love God, glorify history, and honor tradition.

The Oath of a Red Youth Scout
In the presence of the Flaga Krwi, which represents the Solidarist Party,
I swear to do my duty to God and serve His Imperial Majesty the Severoszlavian Cesarz.
I am willing to maintain physical strength to be ready to sacrifice my life for them.
So help me God! Amen."

"Constitution of the Solidarist Party of Severoszlavia" by the Central Committee of the Solidarist Party
Published in 2017

Chapter 1: Membership

Article 6. A new member of the Party must take an Oath of Admission before the Courantist Cross, a symbol of the Cesarz, and the Party Flag. The oath reads: Before God Almighty, I, a citizen of the Grand Republic of Severoszlavia, take upon myself the name "member" of the Solidarist Party. I pledge to uphold this title honorably, to conscientiously study the Party Manifesto, and to be faithful and obedient to the Sovereign of the Solidarist Severoszlavian state, the Severoszlavian Cesarz. For these causes, I bind myself to give my whole strength and life. So help me God! Amen.

"Oath | Council of the Inquisition"
radainkwizycji.sz
Council of the Inquisition

The primary purpose of the Service Oath is to guide the Imperial Inquisitors as protectors of the Courantist people and the servants of the Mother Church in Severoszlavia. It was written after the 1934 Solidarist Revolution, when the Grand Chapter was freed from the Order of the Eclipse. An Imperial Inquisitor, who was once required by the old Eclipsic Grand Chapter to live like a monk and swear an oath of chastity, is now expected to marry and procreate as part of the new sacred mission of the Council of the Inquisition as written in the Service Oath. Each new Imperial Inquisitor receives a personalized dagger during the oathtaking to remind them of their oath.

Text of the Service Oath
I now, in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed St. Andrew, and the Grand Inquisitor, do solemnly swear that Your Holiness the Pope in the Via is the true and only Head of the Universal Church, and that I swear loyalty and bravery to Your Imperial Majesty, the Severoszlavian Cesarz, Sovereign of the Solidarist Severoszlavian state. I pledge obedience unto death to you and those you appoint to lead. I promise and declare that I will wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, apostates, and liberals. I hereby dedicate my life to the protection and celebration of the family and fill the Eras. So help me God! Amen.

"Modlitwa Ludu"

Gotykmedia Foundation

Text of "Modlitwa Ludu" in a 1910 postcard​

Molidtwa Ludu (Mercanti: People's Prayer) is the national anthem of Severoszlavia since August 23, 1869. It was written by Valamian artist Julian Bogdanowicz Juntunen in 1867 to celebrate Severoszlavian victory in the War of the Eagles.

Juntunen supported a multicultural society based on Severoszlavian nationalism where all of the different cultures of Severoszlavia united under one monarchy ruled by the House of Mavoia. These included Valamians, Ingwigardians, and Ardeleans. He used the name "Adriena" in the lyrics instead of "Severoszlavia" because it only referred to the Szlavic people of the nation, not the Vanniri or the Gotic peoples.

The song was published in Kolejna Gazeta on February 24, 1868. It was first performed by the Yakuvony Commune when they surrendered to Regent Lorenzo Gazzari. The song became popular among communards and social democrats. Soon, its use became widespread in schools, festivals, and public meetings. It competed with Farewell of Szlavianka, a song created during the Second Ardealul War. It replaced the Andrennian royal anthem "Den Küniglig Arn" (Mercanti: The Royal Eagle), the unofficial anthem of Severoszlavia since 1804.

In 1869, Gazzari supported and gave imperial sanction to the Severoszlavia Act. It adopted "Severoszlavia" as the official name, a modified design of the Andrennian saltire as the national flag, and Molidtwa Ludu as the national anthem.

Text

Molidtwa Ludu Boże wspieraj, Boże ochroń Nam Cesarza i nasz kraj, Tarczą wiary rządy osłoń, Państwu Jego siłę daj. Brońmy wiernie Jego tronu, Zwróćmy wszelki wroga cios, Bo z Adriena tronem złączon Jest na wieki Mavoii los. Bo z Adriena tronem złączon Jest na wieki Mavoii los.

People's Prayer​ God, support, God, protect The Cesarz for us, and our land; Shield his reign with the shield of faith, Strengthen him with your power. Let us defend his throne faithfully, Let us return the strike of every enemy, Because the Adriennic throne is bound Forever with the fate of Mavoia. Because the Adriennic throne is bound Forever with the fate of Mavoia.

"Severoszlavian names"
A random high school student's notebook

Some interesting stuff about the names of my schoolmates.

Ingwigardian, Arcanstotskan, and Valamian names

1. Brunon Mirosławicz Kurowski
2. Krzysztof Krzysztowicz Cieślak (This is me)
3. Zdzisław Borowicz Kaczmarek
4. Gavril Syzmowicz Shapiro
5. Natalya Ringwelska Milekhin
6. Stefan Marcelowicz Potyomkin
7. Henryk Jakubowicz Andersson
8. Kazimiera Langowska Leivarden
9. Dominika Garczyńska Lucas
10. Sofia Maliszewska Ahrendrich
11. Herbert Kornelowicz Vallauris
12. Yurij Pankrowicz Mortensyn
13. Karolina Malczewska Ostonen

Most Severoszlavians are very Ingwigardian or Adrienno-Szlavonic, which means a healthy mix of Szlavic, Gotic, and Kylian influences, Szlavic being the more dominant influence than the latter two. But it's really just a language, only widely used in all the cultural communities of Severoszlavia, not just the Ingwigardian people. Though the Solidarist Party wants it to become a culture.

Arcanstotskan, Goyanean, Aleman, Santonian, and Andrennian surnames usually indicate that they were assimilated in the late 19th-early 20th centuries as part of Regent Gazzari's Szlavification policy.

Many Valamians, descendants of Arcanstotskan mercenaries, have adopted Adrienno-Szlavonic naming customs.

Goyanean names

1. Mads Lejasberg
2. Knut Norstad
3. Mykyta Norrdstad
4. Gustav Klausson
5. Zuzanna Andersson

Goyaneans still use Gotic given names. Their surnames are either based on the name of their ancestor or their ancestral hometown in Goyanes. Mykyta is Goyanean but his great-grandfather married into a rich Andrennian family. He said intermarriages were historically popular between Goyanean and Andrennian families. That's why he has an Andrennian surname.

Aleman names

1. Leonhard Erdrich
2. Thorsten Friedrich
3. Erna Kindler

Alemans continue using Aleman names. Most Alemaners have assimilated. I have a hard time looking for those who still use their ancestral names.

Santonian names

1. Klara Saint-Brieuc
2. Renata Sixt

Like Alemaners, they have assimilated. These people are literally the only two people I know who still have Santonian names.

Andrennian names

1. Yuliya Klaustar
2. Semen Magnarsyn
3. Ingvar Taaverby
4. Oleksandr Teuvonen

A lot of Andrennians have Szlavic given names. A few of them use Gotic. Their family names are either Szlavic, Vanniri, or places in Andrenne. The Szlavic surnames do not resemble Arcanstotskan surnames. They are older, tied to the ancient Szlavs of Andrenne.

Ardelean names

1. Ivan Artursyn
2. Bogumir Velinen

Ardeleans use Adrienno-Szlavic given names. They are popular in Ardealul. In medieval times, marcher boyars and hirdmen competed control by out-settling Szlavic and Gotic peasants in the the territories they claimed.

It is extremely rare for them to use Vanniri-based names. Personally, I never knew anyone who does. They do have Vanniri-based surnames. Some of them, like Andrennians, adopted the Adriennic patronymics of their ancestors as permanent surnames.
