Sovereign Aussies Governance (SAG) Structure
1. National Leadership
President / Prime Minister
Elected every 7 years (max 2 terms = 14 years).
Must have 15+ years of experience in governance, law, defence, or public administration.
Responsible for:
Strategic decision-making & national policy oversight
Diplomacy & international representation
Crisis response with Defence & Security Council

❌ Cannot override public votes or referendums.
Deputy President / Prime Minister

Public Recall Mechanism
A petition with 250,000 verified signatures triggers a national vote.

A snap election is held within 60 days.
Recall petitions only allowed after 2 years into a term.
2. National Council (Oversight & Transparency)
50 members, elected every 6 years (staggered: half replaced every 3 years).
50% elected by citizens, 50% appointed by professional committees.
Max 2 terms (12 years).
Role & Responsibilities:
Oversight & Investigation → audits ministries, investigates misconduct.
Legal & Constitutional Review → can request re-votes on legal conflicts (but final say stays with the people).
Transparency → verifies vote integrity, AI security, and election fairness.
Crisis Coordination → activates emergency funds & supports Defence & Security Council.
3. Expert-Led Ministries
Each ministry is led by 3 elected experts (5 for Defence & Security due to scope).

4. Regional Governance
To balance unity with autonomy:
