==Government and politics==
{{WIP}}
Arthasthan's {{wp|uncodified constitution}}, the [[People's Laws of Arthasthan]], declares that the country is a federal union of socialist republics united to achieve the goal of achieving a socialist society. The Laws officially establishes this socialist federation within the framework of as a {{wp|federalism|federal}} {{wp|democracy|democratic}} {{wp|republic}} governed by a {{wp|parliamentary system}}. However in practice it operates under a [[People's democracy]], where the [[Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|Satrian Section of the Worker's International]] (SSWI) and its Subsections controls the political climate of the union and its individual states. In addition, while Arthasthan's constitution guarantees basic {{wp|civil and political rights}} for all of its citizens, the government has inconsistently followed or ignored these protections entirely. For these reasons, Arthasthan is often considered by scholars to be an {{wp|illiberal democracy}}, a [[Southern democracy]], or an outright {{wp|Authoritarianism|authoritarian state}}.  
A '''Council republic''' is term used to refer to a {{wp|republic|republican}} system of government where directly elected councils play a prominent role in a country's politics. While the exact structure of the government varies, common characteristics of council republics include an association with {{wp|socialism}}, implementation of a varying degree of {{wp|direct democracy}}, an emphasis on {{wp|collective leadership}}, and {{wp|nonpartisanism}}. The term is often used to differentiate these states from {{wp|Euclea|Euclean}} {{wp|capitalism|capitalist}} {{wp|liberal democracy|liberal democracies}}.   It is the predominant form of government for socialist states in the world, such as [[Dezevau]], [[Kirenia]], and [[Lavana]]. Council republics are generally considered to be democratic, but some states such as [[Arthasthan]] has been accused of {{wp|authoritarianism}}.  
===Government===
The People's Laws defines the legislature of Arthasthan, known as the [[Assembly of Arthasthan]], as the highest ''de jure'' state authority. It functions as a unicameral body consisting of around 600 members directly elected by {{wp|Party-list proportional representation}} by the population of member states. The Assembly has broad legislative authority, but is mainly concerned with economic planning and the government budget. Parliamentary elections are scheduled every four years, but unstable coalitions or a no-confidence vote by the Assembly can dissolve a government earlier. The Assembly elects the [[Premier of Arthasthan|Premier]], a member of parliament supported by a parliamentary majority who serves as {{wp|head of government}} for a four year term, renewable once. The Premier is responsible for the exercise of executive powers in implementing the decrees and general policies approved by the Assembly. The Premier is assisted by a {{wp|Council of Ministers|council of ministers}}, known as the [[Executive Council of Arthasthan|Executive Council]], who are appointed by the Premier and approved by the Assembly. Together the Premier and the Executive Council coordinates government decisions, and selects government policies to be placed before the legislature.


===Satrian Section===
The political thought associated with the establishment and continuation of a council republic is known as councilism or council republicanism and its proponents are known as Councilists.
The People's Laws of Arthasthan declares that the [[Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|Arthani-led Satrian Section of the Workers' International]], "is the regional representative of the Workers' International, the Section shall play a leading role in the development of a socialist state" which constitutionalises its prominent status in Arthani politics. Since the foundation of the United Socialist Republics, the party institutions of the SSWI operate in parallel and in conjunction with normal government institutions. The party directly manages government functions, such as national defence, through the [[Army of the Socialist Revolution]] which is ultimately under the control of the party's leadership rather than the state. The Section is not a traditional political party, but rather a political forum for the socialist movement in Arthasthan, which consists of the [[United Front of the People]], and numerous labour unions, youth organizations, cultural organizations, charities, and other groups. The structure of the party is dual layered, consisting of the federal Satrian Section and many Subsections for each constituent republic. The party structures of the Subsections largely emulated the structure of the Satrian Sections. Local authorities were organized likewise into party congresses, councils and executive committees.

==Characteristics==
The highest office within the party is the [[First Secretary of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|First Secretary]], who is also ''de facto'' {{wp|head of state}} of the United Socialist Republics. In addition to performing duties as head of state, the Secretary is {{wp|commander in chief}} of the [[Army of the Socialist Revolution]], and performs numerous key administrative functions of the party by controlling its national organisation. The First Secretary and other high level party officials are elected by the [[National Party Congress of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|National Party Congress]], which is held annually. The National Congress servers as an official platform for debate within the party as it determines and approves party policy. The last major party institution is the [[People's Congress of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|People's Congress]] which is an assembly of representatives from the socialist movement. Its main purpose is to coordinate the policies of the national government with its member organisations. In addition it has ''de facto'' legislative powers, as many of its members are also Assembly delegates. While the Congress began as a party institution, it is increasingly functioning as part of the federal government, especially since membership of the Congress was opened to groups not directly affiliated with the Subsection.
