| Question | ✕ | ✕ | ✕ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | Nobles elected the king and, through local sejmiki, deputies; legislation involved the king, Senate and deputies, and the liberum veto required unanimity in practice. | A 28-member General Council (half elected by parish, half by national list) elects the head of government; the co-princes sanction laws with countersignature. | The Prime Minister is formally responsible for Diella; the Constitutional Court states AI cannot change who exercises public power or bears accountability. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Under the Henrician Articles the nobility was released from allegiance to a king who broke them; from the 1700s 'confederated' Sejms, immune to the veto, could pass laws. | A four-member Constitutional Tribunal appointed by the co-princes and the General Council; ordinary courts. | Opposition challenged the decrees before the Constitutional Court, which dismissed the request on 8 October 2026; its full reasoning is pending. | |
| How are public goods funded? | Unknown | Health, education and infrastructure funded by indirect, corporate and personal taxes; parishes run local services. | Aims to improve public-service access and reduce discretion in public procurement. | |
| How is AI used? | No documented AI role. | No specific role for AI. | Chatbot and voice assistant on e-Albania; a procurement system tender was still being prepared in August 2026. | |
| What are the main risks? | Paralysis by liberum veto; magnate oligarchy; foreign bribery and intervention; exclusion of most inhabitants from political rights.CLM-0113 | Clash between the episcopal co-prince and legislation such as abortion; exclusion of non-citizens; dependence on France, Spain and the EU. | Unclear accountability for an AI 'minister'; no AI law yet; no published technical detail; AKSHI's leaders face a tender-rigging case.CLM-0359 |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
