 The New Federation of Novostia | Additional Political Party Question: Are single issue parties allowed? | |||||||||||||||||||
via The East Pacific |  The Interuniversal Civilization of Aivintis | I’d assume so. Like I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t be a limitation to political parties in such a way. This is a free democracy. If you do it all the right way when making it, I’m fairly certain it is possible for single issue parties. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Sparsdan | I cannot speak on all matters for Orvos, but we did work on the campaign together a lot and as such feel comfortable answering some of your points. 2. It has always been planned that the MoRP will be an elected position, not an appointed one. Its true that RP is a specific beast altogether, but always putting in charge people who are chosen by someone else and not the people seem to go against the very nature of our democracy. I find it a bit presumptive of you to say that we should make sure to find someone dedicated, prepared and active. I believe that the RPers themselves know who can represent them the best, and will vote for such a person as they deem appropriate - and would not wish us to force on them someone we choose, or some other future president will choose. Power to the people, my friend, power to the people. 5. Communication, its all about communication. Most of the current ambassadors and diplomats are only rarely active in regions they stay in, and generally don't much mingle with the locals and try to be a part of their society, too. I think that can be changed. You yourself are the best example of how diplomatic relationships can be made much better by friendly activity and mixing of citizens in different regions. Would our relationships with TEP be the same without you being our ambassador to them and simultaneously their ambassador to us? I doubt it. Its truly a unique thing, but such unique examples we have to promote and strive to find them in other regions. Heaveria, afaik, is quite active in Kaer Solas, while Thaelle in The Rejected Realms (if I remember). I think such opportunities should be used in foreign affairs and, by extension, in culture. I think the primary partnership we want are those that will enable us to promote activity - meaning inter-regional events like the bracket tournament and such - and those that will llow us to have good fun in the company of good people. Nothing more, nothing else. Idealism of course come into it, but only in a limited way. Fascist regions are, of course, a big no-no. Concerning the number of embassies, I believe we need to keep them at such a number that we can staff them with good ambassadors and promote real relations, not just "here is embassy and goodbye". Its not about the number of them, its about the depth. I would not be against more relations, but they need to make sense and there should be reasonable interest from both sides, as I have seen, for example, with Wintercrest. I will not name top 3 allies, I feel that would be insulting against the rest of them. All allies are equal, though of course some relations are deeper than others. Those that know it, know it. Foreign updates will work in mostly the same was as they do now, I see nothing wrong with them. New ambassadors will be employed normally, though better explanations of what is expected of them will be done. 6. This was something we discussed at length, and decided this would be the best course of action. The "proximity", you could say, of Immigration and Internal Affairs isn't so close, true, but that is not a problem in itself. The minister himself does not - and indeed, should not - do all the work. The staff can do most of the recruitment - its very easy anyway and not very time consuming - while he can focus on dispatches. Or, the deputy can do that? The possibilities are endless, and the minister can decided for himself as long as the job gets done, of course with consultation of the VP. Ministers are not robots, as are not the staff members of ministries. 7. The explanation is lacking a bit there, but retention is a part of the job that should be shared by more ministries, from culture to the newly established ones. Newspaper might need a ministry of its own, but honestly, making one for it while its still in the diaper phase is not much useful, there is still far too much to resolve in terms or organization. I will feel more comfortable appoint someone to a position where he would be responsible for the newspaper, if necessary, rather than making it a strictly elected position. As with the beginning of RP, I feel it's not appropriate to elect someone in this phase of the process. In the future, should the necessity of it prove, a new ministry can be established by the next government. 8. What? I have no idea what you're talking about. Ministry of Regional Administration will be abolished completely, and most of its job will transfer to VP - myself. 9. It is needed, but I don't believe a minister is needed for it. A VP can handle it, and I believe he should, as he stands in between the president and the government as his right hand - the "executioner" of his will, if you would. The specific issue is that such a position, frankly, took manpower from ministries that need it more for a ministry that does not do enough work; using the calendar, making sure people do their job and such is an extension of VP's duties, and makes sense as such. There is no complicated nonsense, nothing uses the same name - Regional Administration gets abolished, and that's it. I don't see where you get notions about any complications, it just gets disbanded. 10. Nah. 11. Answer 6. is good for this too. 12. Yes, Community Manager and Advisors to the President will stay. It does not complicate anything - "nothing changes" is probably the simplest it can get, friend. 13. By being much stricter about inactivity. Ministers will be forced to inform the cabinet if they know they will be inactive, if only for a day, and will be asked to resign if they knew their period of inactivity could be longer. The biweekly cabinet meetings the current president My Nation did worked well, but not much was enforced when the ministers didn't react properly. I intend to change that. 14. Recruiters will not be distracted. I understand you don't have as much experience with it considering TEP does not need to recruit, but recruiting is very easy thanks to our bot and the processes we have; it can be done very easily at any time, for example when watching a movie or gaming. Other duties don't come into it. If you become staff in the new ministry, you decide what you focus on - and if you want to focus only on recruitment, as do some citizens that are not even affiliated in any ministry and yet recruit very often (like Emaha), its completely okay, and your name will be recognized, as it is now every month due to manual recruitment leadership board. Also, I donate ton of stamps, that helps. 15. Mostly the same processes as previously, there's not much to make better. 16. I just made you eat your words on multiple points. You can do better mate. | |||||||||||||||||||

| Laurenthea | Hey FNR! I'm back again with another new factbook. This time about my government! Comments, please!  The Government of Laurenthea (French: Le Gouvernement de Laurentia) is the central government which leads the executive branch of the Royal Federation of Laurenthea. It is also commonly referred to as the Federal Government, or simply the Government. It is a constitutional monarchy, and in name, the Parliament and Government work under the Crown, but the actual powers of the monarchy have largely been scaled down since the early twentieth century. The Government consists of the Prime Minister and the Ministers; the prime minister has the overall direction of the Ministers and can appoint or terminate their appointments freely and all of them belong to the supreme decision-making body, known as the Council of Ministers. The Government is responsible before the Parliament (French: Assemblée Nationale), and more precisely before the House of Representatives, a body which elects the Prime Minister or dismisses him through a motion of no-confidence. This is because Laurenthea is a parliamentary system established by the Constitution of 1865. As stated in the Constitution of Laurenthea, "the Government directs domestic and foreign policy, the civil and military administration and the defence of the State. It exercises the executive function and the regulatory regulation according to the Constitution and the laws". The Parliament of Laurenthea is a bicameral legislature, and hence has two chambers; The House of Representatives, which contains the Government and is elected by the people every 5 years through MPs for the 240 constituencies in the country. The House of Regions is a body of 36 members, 2 from each of the 18 regions of Laurenthea, elected every 5 years, along with the House of Representatives.
The Parliament The Laurenthean Parliament is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of Laurenthea and consists of the House of Representatives and the House of Regions. The Parliament meets in the Palace of Democracy in La Couronne. Both regional representatives and representatives are chosen through direct election every 5 years. The Parliament has 276 voting members: 36 regional representatives and 240 representatives. The last Chief Justice of Laurenthea acts as the Speaker of the House of Regions, while the latest retired representative who has served for the longest time in the House becomes the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives is the chamber of Parliament which contains the Prime Minister, the Ministers and the Government and Opposition. It consists of 240 members, each representing a constituency, which are national divisions of about 150,000 people each. Every 5 years, Laurenthean citizens above the age of 18 vote for their constituency's representatives, and the party/coalition which secures the most seats forms the government. The leader of the winning party is appointed Prime Minister, and the PM chooses the Ministers, ceremonially appointed by the Monarch. The House of Regions is the chamber of parliament aimed at ensuring all regions of the country get political representation at the federal level. Each of the 18 regions, irrespective of population, elects two Regional Representatives every 5 years along with their Representatives. Any bill which is passed in the House of Representatives should also pass in the House of Regions for it to gain Royal Assent, and become law. Royal Assent is mostly ceremonial in the modern day, and modern Monarchs have never abused their power to stop a law from being made. Constitutional Democratic Seats in House of Representatives: 132 Conservative Seats in House of Representatives: 54 Social Democratic Seats in House of Representatives: 44 Independent Candidates Seats in House of Representatives: 10 The Prime Minister and Council of Ministers The Prime Minister, along with the Ministers, form the Council of Ministers. Officially, they can be anyone appointed by the Monarch. However, Laurenthean monarchs have respected the will of the people and have chosen the majority's leader as Prime Minister, and their suggested MPs as Ministers. Government officers chosen through an examination meritocratically act as their Secretaries, and assist them in executing their orders. The Prime Minister is the head of government of Laurenthea. The office was established in its current form by the Constitution of 1865. After each election, the Monarch appoints the leader of the majority party in the House of Representatives as the Prime Minister . Since current constitutional practice in Laurenthea calls for the Monarch to act on the advice of his ministers, the prime minister is the country's de facto chief executive. The Council of Ministers is the main collective decision-making body of the Government of Laurenthea, and it is exclusively composed of the Prime Minister and the ministers (18 as of 2021). The Monarch may also chair the Council when needed on the invitation of the Prime Minister.
Devolved Governments Laurenthea is a diverse country integrated by contrasting entities with varying economic and social structures, languages, and historical, political and cultural traditions. According to the current Laurenthean constitution, the Laurenthean nation is the common and indivisible homeland of all Laurentheans, composed of nationalities and regions which the constitution recognizes and guarantees the right of self-government. Since the approval of the Constitution of 1865, Laurenthea was established as a decentralized federal country which grants its regions a high degree of autonomy. The regions have their own devolved unicameral parliaments, and a government whose chief executive is known as the First Minister. Each region has a hereditary Duke, who is the ceremonial head of state of the region, and acts as the King's representatives. Prior to constitutional reforms in 1865, the Dukes had almost unanimous power over their regions, and owned most of the farmland in the country, employing the poor as farmers and labourers in their land. However, land and political reforms in the late nineteenth century led to redistribution of land among the poor, and reducing the powers of Dukes to purely ceremonial purposes.
