Governance
Accountability
Accountability ties decisions to named people and requires a response when outcomes fail public standards.
Governance
Named responsibility
Accountability means specific people and bodies can be questioned, audited, and corrected when systems cause avoidable harm.
Public systems blur responsibility by default. Valoria requires explicit chains of responsibility and periodic review.
Named responsibility
Major decisions are attached to accountable offices and review records, reducing institutional anonymity.
Responsibility does not disappear just because a news cycle or election cycle ends.
Where responsibility cannot be named, it cannot be corrected, and a system that cannot correct itself has already chosen its failures in advance.
Review chambers
Independent review structures evaluate whether institutions are meeting constitutional and legitimacy standards.
Review is not limited to scandals. It is routine, expected, and part of normal governance.
Corrective duty
When evidence shows failure, the system is expected to change policy instead of protecting its reputation.
Correction is institutional maturity.
