The institutions

Every office in PezkuwiChain is a tiki — an entry in the register attached to an account. Fifty-six exist. What matters is not the list but the four ways a tiki is obtained: automatic (citizenship itself), elected, earned (by contribution, at published thresholds), and appointed. An office may never be granted by the same route that grants a community badge, and the code refuses it.

5.1 Serok — the President

One seat, four years, elected by every citizen. To stand, a candidate needs an approved identity, a trust score of at least 250, a thousand endorsements each from a citizen with a trust score of at least 40, and a hundred-HEZ deposit. Nobody may serve more than two consecutive terms.

The election requires fifty percent turnout — waived only after one failed attempt, so that a boycott delays rather than vetoes. A candidate wins outright with more than half the valid votes; otherwise the top two go to a runoff whose campaign is one third the length.

5.2 Meclis — the Parliament

Two hundred and one seats, four years, elected across ten districts. A candidate needs a trust score of at least 100 and a hundred endorsements, and the election requires forty percent turnout.

The first parliament sits for half a term. This is deliberate: it staggers the legislature against the presidency permanently, so that no single election ever renews the whole state at once.

5.3 Serokê Meclisê — the Speaker

Elected, but only from among sitting members of parliament, and requiring a trust score of at least 200. The Speaker holds no term of their own — the office is vacated whenever a new house is seated, because a speaker without a house is not a speaker.

5.4 Dîwan — the Constitutional Court

Eleven seats, nine years — the longest term in the system, and longer than any body that appoints to it.

Six are elected by the Parliament and five are appointed by the President. Neither can seat a majority. The split is not written as "five"; it is derived, as total minus elected, so that changing the size of the court cannot silently change the balance between the two powers that fill it.

Elected members need a trust score of at least 275. Appointed members must already hold one of fourteen qualifying professional tikis — jurist, judge, prosecutor, engineer, cyber-security specialist, network operator, economist, accountant, planner, electoral officer, statistician, auditor, scholar, or cultural custodian. A president may choose, but only from people the register already recognises as qualified.

There is no call to dismiss a member of the court. The absence is the point.

The court is not decorative. Two thirds of it constitutes the register authority, which governs the citizen register itself, administers the validator pool, and can strip an elected or earned office. It is also the fraud origin for education credentials and, together with the council, the slashing origin for staking scores.

5.5 Serokwezîran — the Prime Minister, and the cabinet

The President nominates; the Parliament confirms. Neither alone suffices, and either may end it. Once confirmed, the Prime Minister appoints and dismisses the cabinet alone — seven named ministries (finance, defence, justice, education, health, infrastructure, culture) plus general ministers without portfolio.

Two ministries carry spending authority, and they are the subject of Section 8.

5.6 The civil service

Twenty-four professional offices, from judge and prosecutor to notary, registrar, tax collector, ambassador and teacher. Any minister or the President may nominate; nobody may nominate themselves; every nomination needs a trust score of at least 75 and lapses in seven days.

Five of the twenty-four cannot be seated by the President alone — judge, treasurer, cyber-security specialist, inspector, and ambassador require parliamentary confirmation. And the list of which five is itself amendable only by the Parliament. The executive cannot shorten the list of offices it does not control.
