Charter for the Kingdom of Sierra

The Charter for the Kingdom of Sierra is the chief fundamental document governing the government of the Kingdom of Sierra and the. It primarily establishes and regulates the relationship between the three (the Deseret, Hawaii, and Sierra) that form the Kingdom. The Constitutions of Sierra, the Deseret, and Constitution of Hawaii are legally subordinate to the Charter but much of the institutions by which the Kingdom operates on are defined in the Sierran constitution as opposed to the Charter. The Charter in its initial form was originally signed and promulgated on June 23, 1950 under Queen Angelina I. Since then, there has been few modifications to the Charter, mostly expanding and clarifying on certain provisions in the document. Any modifications or amendments, even the dissolution of the Charter requires the approval of the Parliament, the legislatures of the Deseret and Hawaii, and the of the Monarch.

Constitution
Prior to the signing of the Charter, the Constitution of Sierra was the leading document of the Kingdom but since then, the document nonetheless remains integral to both Sierra and the Kingdom, in that the Charter asserts the Kingdom's institutions are regulated by and originate from. Sierra is the only one of the three countries which may operate domestically and internationally as the Kingdom of Sierra. Nonetheless, all other provisions within the Constitution, including its federal system and, that do not concern the institutions the Charter mentions pertain only to Sierra proper, and do not apply to the other two constituent countries. For example, it is for this reason that although the Constitution of an, this only applies in Sierra, thus making it permissible for the Deseret to operate as a  state with the  as its official church (as the Charter does not enforce or establish such provisions Kingdom-wide itself).

Countries
As the Charter stands, the document has full binding application and effect on the three countries it mentions: the Deseret, Hawaii, and Sierra. The Charter declares that in each country, they are governed according to their respective constitutions and that all are subject to the institutions of the Kingdom including the Monarchy, the Prime Ministry, the Parliament, and the Supreme Court. Within Sierra, like the Constitution, portions of the Charter are partially and selectively incorporated to the territories and crown dependencies.

Affairs of the Kingdom
Aside from stipulating the relationship of the countries between each other and with the Kingdom, it describes which forms of policy and lawmaking that involve the Deseret and Hawaii to apply to the Kingdom as a whole, and which, do not. All policy and lawmaking that involve the Kingdom as a whole, always apply to Sierra proper.
