}}'''The Sovereign Province of Benito''' is a Province of Talossa.

'''The Sovereign Province of Benito''' ({{IPA-all|bɛˈnitɔ|pron}}), in [[Glheþ|Talossan]] ''la Provinçù Soveran da Benito'' ({{IPA-all|lɐ pɾɔvinˈsu sɔvɛˈɾan dɐ bɛˈnitɔ}}), is a province of [[Talossa]]. Formerly known as Mussolini, the province name was changed following a referendum of its citizens, during which the actions of the Italian dictator of the same name were denounced. The renaming was affirmed at the national level through [[Acknowledging the Renaming of Mussolini Province|38PD1]], which became law on April 26, 2008. The province was granted the right to self-govern during the 39th Cosa with the proclamation of a [[Constitution of Benito|Constitution]] by Viceré [[Owen Edwards]].

Benito lies south of [[Atatürk]] (E Kenwood), west of [[Vuode]] (N Maryland and a portion of N Prospect) and north of [[Florencia]] (E North), which was initially a canton of Benito. It is bordered by Milwaukee River on the west.


The Head of State is the '''Viceré''' (known in other provinces as the Cunstaval or Constable). The Viceré is appointed for an indefinite term by the Monarch to serve as the vice regal representative to the Province. Under the Benitian Constitution, the authority of the Viceré is limited to powers which mimic those of the Monarch at the National level.
The province is divided into two cantons: Lançacuratx (to the north, population 3675) and Utulfaçeir (to the south, population 3678).


== Head of Government ==
Each of the cantons is further divided into three sextieirs. The biggest, both by population (1642) and area (35.9 ha) is the sextieir of Riverside, the provincial capital, which contains famous landmarks such as Riverside High School (attended by many [[Old Growth]] Talossans, and the present Benitian capitol) and King John Woolley on the Riverside Park, the biggest riverside parkland area in Talossa.


The Head of Government is the Maestro. The Maestro is elected by the members of the Legislative Chancellery, the Benitian legislature. Under the Benitian Constitution, the Maestro can issue legislative proclamations, which are similar to [[Prime Dictate|Prime Dictates]] at the national level.

=== Head of State ===


== Legislature ==
The Head of State is the '''Viceré''' (known in other provinces as the [[Cunstaval]] or Constable). The Viceré is appointed for an indefinite term by the Monarch to serve as the vice regal representative to the Province. Under the Benitian Constitution, the authority of the Viceré is limited to powers which mimic those of the Monarch at the National level.


The Legislative authority of the province is vested in the [[Legislative Chancellery]], a unicameral legislature composed of 11 seats held by members, or Chancellors, directly elected during the General Election. Chancellors may be removed from office by legislative force, in limited circumstances, upon being presented with a Writ of Impeachment pursuant to Benitian law.
=== Head of Government ===
The Head of Government of Benito is the Maestro. The Maestro is elected by the members of the Assembly, the lower house of the Benitian legislature, at the beginning of each term; it can be removed through a motion of no confidence. Under the Benitian Constitution, the Maestro can issue legislative proclamations, which are similar to [[Prime Dictate|Prime Dictates]] at the national level.
 
To assist in his governance, the Maestro can appoint an indefinite number of Aldermen to act as provincial ministers, and can choose a member of the House he does not sit in to serve as his representative in that House. To ensure independents are properly represented, and that particularly active Benitians are not barred from the Legislative Chancellery by not receiving seats in the Assembly, the Maestro can additionally appoint to the provincial Senate a number of temporary apppointees, up to half the number of Senators by right.
 
The current Maestro is [[Lüc da Schir]]; twelve Benitians have held the office since the proclamation of the provincial Constitution.
 
=== Legislature ===
The legislative authority of the province is vested in the [[Legislative Chancellery]], a bicameral legislature composed of the Assembly and the Senate. MAs and Senators are collectively known as Chancellors, and may be removed from office by legislative force, in limited circumstances, upon being presented with a Writ of Impeachment pursuant to Benitian law. Both the Assembly and the Senate vote on bills, but the Maestro is elected only by the Assembly and only needs to hold the confidence of the Assembly.
 
Following the proclamation of the Constitution, the Chancellery has assembled fourteen times; the last four under the new bicameral configuration.
 
==== Assembly ====
The Assembly is composed of eleven seats held by elected Members of the Assembly (MAs). The seats are apportioned using the Hare-Niemeyer (Largest Remainders) method. The Arvitieir Prima, appointed by the Maestro as a sort of Benitian Secretary of State, also serves as the Assembly's presiding officer, even if he doesn't hold a seat in the Assembly, in which case he won't be able to cast any votes.
 
The current Arvitieir Prima is [[Mic'haglh Autófil]], serving since 27 March 2024.

Head of State

The Head of State is the Viceré (known in other provinces as the Cunstaval or Constable). The Viceré is appointed for an indefinite term by the Monarch to serve as the vice regal representative to the Province. Under the Benitian Constitution, the authority of the Viceré is limited to powers which mimic those of the Monarch at the National level.

Head of Government

The Head of Government of Benito is the Maestro.

To assist in his governance, the Maestro can appoint an indefinite number of Aldermen to act as provincial ministers, and can choose a member of the House he does not sit in to serve as his representative in that House. To ensure independents are properly represented, and that particularly active Benitians are not barred from the Legislative Chancellery by not receiving seats in the Assembly, the Maestro can additionally appoint to the provincial Senate a number of temporary apppointees, up to half the number of Senators by right.

The current Maestro is Lüc da Schir; twelve Benitians have held the office since the proclamation of the provincial Constitution.
