Liberal State Committee

The Liberal State Committee (Sconic: Liberal Statskomité) is an eleven-person committee to elect and supervise New Scania's government. Its primary task is to maintain liberalism and thereby freedom in the republic to prevent governmental despotism.

Function
The members, called commissioners, are directly elected by the full age folk every year in spring, legally regardless of the party, and it is seen as most powerful executive instance of the country. If a member of government is not seen fit, it can easily be substituted by the committee.

Its chief, the High Commissioner, is therefore official chief of government. He is elected internally every three years, so that the High Commissioner remains in office, even if not reelected. His deputy, on the other hand, is also elected annually.

Task
On 24 May 2010, the Supreme Council defined the task of the Committee in the so called Whiterun Documents constitutionally. The following main guidelines shall thereby be followed and secured by the committee in the Sconic politics:
 * 1) New Scania has to remain an idealist liberal state. That makes it free for all people, free for all religions and groups and free of thought and press.
 * 2) New Scania's market shall remain free and as unregulated as possible to grant a peaceful living in community.
 * 3) The government, regardless of which party it is dominated or who is the premier, must not limit the social, political or economic freedom of the people, unless it is necessary to secure peace or idealistic justice.
 * 4) The president represents the people. He shall never misuse his power.
 * 5) The state's politics must not give in to illiberal forms of society like socialist, communist, fascist or similar. Even if publicly voted for, it must be denied governmentally, to prevent the loss of liberty, since freedom is always superordinated to democracy, especially if it would abolish itself.
