Neu Kontrybund Saculdum

The Neu Köntrybund Saculdum, officially the Zie Saculdum bon Zie Neu Drakaen Köntrybund, translating to the Pact of the new Drakaen Union, was a total reform of the Drakaen Köntrybund, mainly launched by Delta Aulian-Drake, that disassembled the remains of the institutions present during the Valrean-Catanian Commonwealth in order to reestablish the original Drakaen institutions and titles.

===Prelude===
In order to maintain the legacy of the Regnum,Learning from the mistakes of the Concordat,Keeping the will and intentions of Vircon,and acknowledging the cultures inside the Drakesland,
The Drakaen Commonwealth reforms itself into an entity the likes of which has never graced the Drakesland before; a true symbol of peace and unity has been birthed in a region most tumultuous. A plurinational state to preserve the Drakaen People from the threats and foreign grasp.
=== Territorial Structure of the Commonwealth ===
Original title: Struken Gubthen bon Zie Köntrybund
The Drakaen Commonwealth is organised in a territorial semi-federative structure. Every state has a unique agreement with the Commonwealth. The agreements follow the guidelines of the four types of states in the Commonwealth: Högesrieges, Gebaines, Schagebaines and Protaktorates. The territorial models are differentiated by their rights and freedoms within the Commonwealth.
No state that forms part of the Commonwealth can be a vassal of another nation or organisation.
The States of the Commonwealth are also categorized as Wäßener Drakaes (Western Drakaes) or Ößener Drakaes (Eastern Drakaes) depending on their location in the Drakesland.
==== Higher Kingdoms ====
Original title: Högesrieges
Zie Högesrieges, the Higher Kingdoms are one of the two types of states integrated into the Commonwealth. These have more rights and representation but less freedom to act independently.
These states can have unlimited members in the High Command, chosen by the proper Head of State and Patriarch/Matriarch.
In Foreign affairs, they need to pass their agreements and treaties through the Ephorate and pass with a single majority to be valid.
==== Domains ====
Original title: Gebaines
Zie Gebaines, the Domains are the other type of state integrated into the Commonwealth. These have more freedom to act independently but they don’t have as much representation as the Higher Kingdoms and their rights are more limited inside the Commonwealth.
The number of people that a Dominion can introduce into the High Command is limited. The members are chosen by the proper Head of State, Patriarh or Matriarch and approved by the Autarch.
In foreign affairs, they can sign treaties and agreements in the name of the domain with freedom. The Ephorate, though, is able to veto the treaty or agreement with a single majority.
==== Dominions / Vassals ====
Original title: Schagebaines
The Dominions are vassal states of the Commonwealth. They have more autonomy to act independently and are tied to the Commonwealth.
The Dominions and their Heads of State are represented by their respective Patriarch or Matriarch of the East/West. 
The Dominions can have a member in the High Command of the Commonwealth, approved by the Autarch.
In foreign affairs, they need the signature of the Autarch of the Commonwealth for the treaties and agreements with external powers to be valid. Their foreign action is autonomous but under the supervision of the Commonwealth.
==== Protectorates ====
Original title: Protaktorates
The Protectorates are satellite states of the Commonwealth. They have the most freedom to act independently but are still tied to the Commonwealth.
The sovereignty of the Protectorates is guarded by the Commonwealth. On the other hand, the Protectorates can be called by the Commonwealth into a defensive war.
The Protectorates are not represented in the institutions of the Commonwealth. These states remain at the margin of the internal institutional system.
The Protectorates have independence in their foreign action. Only limited by the clash of interests with the Commonwealth.
The Protectorates can ask for economic aid from the Commonwealth. Which would be able to offer fair deals to develop the Protectorates.
==== Western and Eastern Drakaes ====
Original title: Wäßener anz Ößener Drakaes
The states of the Commonwealth are geographically distributed to the east or west of an imaginary line that crosses Drakaes diagonally from north to south. From the strait of Vircon to Hydria in the Gulf of Grass.
The states east of this line will be part of Eastern Drakaes and the states west of this line will be considered Western Drakaes. This categorisation will be useful for the Institutional Structure of the Commonwealth and the representation of the states inside the Commonwealth.
=== Institutional Structure of the Commonwealth ===
Original title: Struken Instatuzen bon Zie Köntrybund
The Institutional Structure of the Commonwealth is more centralised than the Territorial Structure. The Commonwealth organises itself in different charges and ranks with different powers and abilities, to enhance the efficiency of the management of the whole Union.

The Autarch is a lifetime charge. The Autarch can leave the position and name a successor or the Ephorate can impeach them with three-quarters positive votes of the Chamber. Every impeachment needs to add a new candidate for Autarch in substitution to the current one.
Except in the case of an impeachment, the Autarch has the ability to veto any decision of the Senate or the High Command of the Commonwealth. The Autarch can’t vote in ordinal senate votes. In the case of a tie, the Autarch works as a tiebreaker.
The Autarch is the highest authority in the Commonwealth, having the function of announcing and declaring wars or other treaties. They appoint the position of the members of the High Command. The signature of the Autarch is necessary for any treaty or law to be valid.
