[Order of Malta] Priories of The Order

[Odinson]

SOVEREIGN
ORDER OF MALTA

The Sovereign Order of Malta directly controls three priories, which are equivalent to ministries: the Priory of Foreign Affairs, the Priory of Aid, and the Priory of War. Every priory has a "prior" which is the equivalent to "minister", however some priories also have a Grand Office of the Order as its official head. In the case of the priories of War, Aid, and Foreign Affairs, the Prior is directly appointed by the Grand Officer in charge, meaning that they are directly accountable to the Grand Master, and not Parliament. Some of the other priories still have Grand Officers as their official leaders, however the priors are nominated by Parliament and then either appointed or rejected by their respective Grand Officer. The Grand Officers of The Order include: Grand Master, Grand Commander (War), Grand Chancellor (Foreign Affairs), Grand Hospitaller (Aid and Health), and Receiver of The Common Treasure (Treasury). The Grand Master is the Order's Head of State, while his Grand Officers assist him in executing executive actions.

PARLIAMENT OF MALTA

The Parliament is bicameral. The lower of the two houses is known as the House of Representatives, and the upper house is called the Crimson Council. The House of Representatives is made up of elected MPs from across the Maltese islands, is partisan, and nominates a Prime Minister who is officially appointed by the Grand Master. The Crimson Council is non-partisan and comprised entirely of senior knights from the Order; members of the Crimson Council are appointed by various parts of the Order. All binding resolutions originate in the House of Representatives where, if passed, they then go to the Crimson Council to have their constitutionality debated. The Crimson Council may send resolutions back to the House of Representatives with revisions for them to consider. After a resolution makes it through both houses, it officially becomes an "Act of Parliament". Parliament nominates the prior for three priories led by Grand Officers, and entirely controls six priories. In reality, however, Parliament and their nominated prior is entirely in charge of all of the below priories except for the Treasury, where the Receiver of The Common Treasure also plays an active role.
