Stedoria, officially the Stedorian People's Republic (Stedorian: Mensarepüblikän Stedoriänik), (Alzi: Républike Pôpulêre di Stèdorie), is country located in southeastern Argis. Its neighbours are Fravina, Velaheria, and Delamaria to the east, Dolchland to the south, and Walneria to the west. Stedoria is divided into 6 states, and 1 autonomous republic, all of which have their own governing bodies. The population of 18.7 million Stedorians are largely of the Dolch Stedorian ethnic group, with the Alzi minority being descendants of the Brux people.

Stedoria, following a turbulent revolution that led to the deposition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic, has led to significant economic turmoil, though in recent years the Stedoria economy has slowly started to recover. Stedoria is a federal dominant-party revolutionary republic, with is government divided into three separate branches of government and a bicameral legislature. Officially a republic since the Stedorian revolution toppled the monarchy, many political experts claim Stedoria to be a hybrid regime, with the nation's political institutions heavily dominated by the National Party of the Stedorian Revolution, who have governed since the first election after the founding of the republic.

Politics

Government

The Stedorian People's Republic is currently governed by Chief Consul Tamäj Köseg of the National Party of the Stedorian Revolution. The Stedorian People's Republic is divided into three branches of government: the executive, judicial and legislative. The executive branch of Stedoria consists of the Chief Consul of Stedoria, the Second Consul, and the Chief Consul's cabinet. The Chief Consul and Second Consul are indirectly elected by the Stedorian people. During parliamentary elections, parties nominate a potential Chief and Second Consul, and the party that receives the most seats in the parliamentary election has its nominees selected as the Chief and Second Consul respectively.

The judicial branch is lead by the Chief Justice of Stedoria, currently Arpäd Etvös, and is divided into three levels of judiciary. The first and highest level is the National Revolutionary Court, lead by the Chief Justice of Stedoria. The National Revolutionary Court deals with national issues, constitutional issues, extremely serious crimes, and issues that are transmitted to it by lower level courts, and its rulings cover the entirety of Stedoria law-wise. The second level are the Provincial/Territorial Revolutionary Courts, lead by a Provincial/Territorial Chief Justice. The Provincial/Territorial Revolutionary Courts deal with province/territory-wide issues, crimes, and issues transmitted to them by the lowest level of courts, and their rulings cover the entirety of the territory they represent. The third and lowest level of courts are the District Revolutionary Courts, lead by a District Chief Justice. The District Revolutionary Courts deal with with municipal issues, petty crimes, and civil disputes, and their rulings cover the entirety of the district they represent. Both the District and Provincial/Territorial Revolutionary Courts have the right to request serious and larger cases to higher level courts, and the courts they are transferred to have the right to either accept the case or deny it and send it back to the original level of court in which the case was filed.

The legislative branch consists of the Exovedate of Stedoria, Stedoria's legislature, which itself is made up of the upper and lower house, the National Council and National Dail respectively. The head of the legislative branch is the speaker of the National Dail, which contains significantly more power than the National Council. Each member of the Exovedate is elected in a riding that hypothetically represents an even amount of population per each member of parliament, with the National Dail representing more people per member of parliament as opposed to the National Council. Both houses are directly elected, with the National Dail's elections taking place every four years and the National Council's every five.
