Authoritarian Dictatorship/Democratic mix

Head of State: The High Elder or Lord Elder serves as the head of state of the COS and usually serves for
life. While in power the Lord Elder has the ability to veto any bill that has been approved by the
Assembly though this has been done only rarely. The Lord Elder can appoint or dismiss elders who have
been assigned to a province. This includes the ability to appoint or dismiss any official at will, though the
Lord Elder does this only when required. Declarations are decrees issued by the Lord Elder that carries
the full force and effect of the law. But any of these actions can be overturned by the Assembly if it has a
supermajority.

elected representatives from, two from each province. These elected officials

The Council of Elders: A Council of Elders to advise the Lord Elder with various matters. They hold no
true political power. The council operates only as an advisory body, but it will have their voice heard in
government.

The High Court of Justice: The highest court in the COS, the HCOJ consists of a number of justices. In
general, these justices here cases that the lower courts within the COS (the provincial courts, local
courts etc.) do not have the power to rule on. They also review bills passed by the Assembly, and advise
the Lord Elder on the legal ramifications. Their rulings, it must be noted, overrule the rulings of any of
the lower courts within the COS, with only the Lord Chief Justice or the Lord Elder having the power to
overrule them. The HCOJ is controlled by the Lord Chief Justice.

Elders: Elders are assigned to a province to oversee the military needs like overseeing the supplies.

Provincial: The Provincial Lord is the elected ruler of a province. They handle the day-to-day affairs of
the province.

there are still many forms of local government of the various towns, cities, and villages had before they
join the COS, you will find that various communities will have leaders that pass down their title to their
offspring. Though the COS have been pushing for a more standardize government. They allow a grace
period of ten years for newly acquired settlements to switch their government to the Mayor-Council
system. At the Municipal level, settlements are allowed to handle their affairs

Currency: Steel Dollar (Official) Caps (used in recently conquered territories until phased out)

People who take part in hateful demonstrations will found themselves serving a few months to a few
years in labor camps working projects beneficial to the COS.

Military: After the Brotherhood-Calculator War the Brotherhood went under an extensive
transformation after securing their place as the dominant power of the Midwest. The military arm of the
Brotherhood was reformed as the Armed Forces of the Steel Confederation (AFSC). This was due to the
new reality that the Brotherhood had to become a nation in its own right to face their new future.

and the Steel Guard
