Laiyavar Dual Throne

The Laiyavar Dual Throne is the principal guideline for the heads of state and government of the Laiyavar System.

System of Government
The Dual Throne system calls for the heads of state and government of the Laiyavar system, the Duke and Duchess of Laiyavar intertwined by marriage, to share power fairly and equally within themselves, as to have a reliable second opinion in every decision made by the presiding Duke or Duchess.

Legislature and History
The documents regarding the Laiyavar governmental system dates back to the early days of the Alysian Empire itself, as the Laiyavar System was one of the oldest independent systems in existence at the time of the Empire's founding.

The oldest document which mentioned the Dual Throne system was called The Bill of Laiyavar's Question on its System of Government, drafted and ratified by Alysian authorities in the Alysian year 1441. It states, "The royal representative residing in the System of Laiyavar, hereforth referred to as the 'Duke of Laiyavar', shall divide his power with his spouse, hereforth referred to as the 'Duchess of Laiyavar'."

The Laiyavar System continues to follow this document, with the last amendment having been made in the Alysian year 1655, which states that should one of the two leaders die, the other must also relinquish his or her power.
