| Question | ✕ | ✕ | ✕ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | Sovereign cantons (Landsgemeinde assemblies in rural cantons, councils in cities) linked by treaties; a diet of envoys bound by instructions; majority voting only for common lands.Popular assembly | Each listed body sets its own well-being objectives and steps; the Welsh Ministers publish national indicators and a future trends report after each election. | 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? | Arbitration by neutral cantons under alliance treaties; mediation by the diet; confessional peace treaties after civil wars.Arbitration | The Commissioner may review a body and recommend; the body must take reasonable steps to follow or publish reasons (s 22). The Auditor General examines application of the principle. | 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? | Communal alpine pastures and forests; cantonal defence; mercenary contracts financing governments; joint administration of condominiums. | Covers the Welsh Ministers, local authorities, health boards, national park authorities and other listed bodies; public services boards plan locally. | Aims to improve public-service access and reduce discretion in public procurement. | |
| How is AI used? | None; a pre-modern confederation. | No documented AI role. | Chatbot and voice assistant on e-Albania; a procurement system tender was still being prepared in August 2026. | |
| What are the main risks? | No common executive, religious civil war, oligarchic city rule, exploitation of subject lands, dependence on foreign pensions. | Soft 'follow or explain' enforcement; procedural compliance; difficulty measuring long-term and preventative benefits. | Unclear accountability for an AI 'minister'; no AI law yet; no published technical detail; AKSHI's leaders face a tender-rigging case.CLM-0359 |
