Unlike a democratic state, these branches are not separate in design for any separation of power, but instead separation of function, for more efficient state.

The Council of Consuls
The Council of Consuls is the executive branch of Praetaran Government. Their role is the oversight of the nation, as well as making decisions regarding the religious actions of the Orders.

A Holy Consul can only be added if the current Council unanimously agrees to add them.

Depending on situations, they are either chosen by their predecessor or elected by citizens of the region in which they reside.

Foreign Relations
Praetara, after its period of isolation, has reached out to several states for relations. See them below.

Mirenirenic Confederacy
With it's capital being a former member of the Mirenirenic Confederacy, the people of Praetara and Mirenirenic were already on good terms, especially betwixt Ursus and Kevien, High Druid of Pragma. This lead to a signing of an alliance of mutual defense, non-aggression and free trade.

TiirtaÄävot Jat
Whilst not having any direct communications between the two governments, the people of Praetara have felt a somewhat good affiliation with the people of TiirtaÄävot Jat since the establishing of a mission in Goulrich.
