Thransaltzer Acameralism

The Thransaltzer Acameralism (Dolch: Thransältzer Akameralismus; Stedorian: Nencämim Transalzänik) is the political system currently impored in some countries and subdivisions across the wurld, most notably Thransaltz, which is most notorious for not having a parliament. It is a type of direct democracy, that gives people the final decisionmaking power in the legislative process in all cases.

The most important part of this model is, that the subject in question still has a standing body similar to a parliament, that also serves as the executive body, that is often referred to as a "Quasi-Governmental cabinet", but by definition, it functions only as a standing committee and an Advisory body, that has no legislative powers on its own and its laws are only provisional decrees that have to be approved by the populace, else they are scrapped.

In 1940, after the Stedorian-Walnerian War, the Assembly of Deputies was established in Thransaltz. This system implied a system of direct democracy, using the a set of landsgemeinden as a body approving some bodies, however, the Assembly of Deputies functioned as an unicameral parliament, which could pass legislation without the approval of public.

With the independence of Principality of Thransaltz in 1980, the common acameralism was established.

Implementation

Specific to the Thransaltzer Acameralism, the public vote is carried out in secret thanks to the implementation of a Ballot newspaper, as opposed to the Landëskomúní used in Walneria or any other form of public voting. This in theory ensures honesty of any single individual and limits the influence of herd mentality on the decisionmaking process.

The most important aspect of the voting is a the so-called "Ballot newspaper" which is distributed across the country as a form of an election ballot. It is up to each citizen to fill out the forms (or leave them empty on intention) and then return the newspaper to one of the collection spots, after which the votes are counted. Usually, the country implores a single day-off about two weeks after the newspaper has been published to ensure every citizen has some time to take a look at the proposals handed to them. Usually one month after the publishing of the newpaper, the return stations are closed and citizens can no longer vote, giving them about one month to decide on the policies important to them.

This newpapers is usually distributed in regular intervals, in the case of the most common one, the Thransältzer Postillon, once every three months, making the newspaper a seasonal affair, labelling it as "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn" and "Winter" editions, with a year being added.
