The Federal Republic of New Felix is a multi-party democracy, with an executive, legislative, and judicial branch. The right to vote is perhaps the greatest value of Felixans, and voter turnout is among the highest in the region. General Elections (Presidential, Senate, Supreme Court) are held every two years.
Executive Branch
The Executive Branch is led by The President and his cabinet. The President is responsible for the well-being of New Felix, and is in charge of managing economic affairs, foreign policy, and is the Commander-in-Chief of the Military.
The Legislative Branch
The Legislative Branch Consists of the Parliament, which is subdivided into the Congress and the Senate. There are 860 Congressman and 86 senators; twenty congressman and two senators per city-state.
A law can be introduced anywhere, but must eventually be passed by both sections, before being ratified by the President. The President can choose to veto a law, which then must be supported by 60% of congress to overrule that veto.
The Judicial Branch
The Judicial Branch is comprised of nine Supreme Court Justices, who are directly elected by the people. Supreme Court Justices serve a term of six years (three justices are up for election every two years). Only the most important cases are taken by the Supreme Court.
