Politics

Government

The Garindinan government can be very complicated and confusing at times. Garindina is an absolute monarchy ans well as a one party state. This one party is the National Royalist Party. Everything is run by the Crown, but there are three levels of government. These three levels are the monarchy, the central government (comprised of the Federal Council, the State Duma, and the Council of Ministers), and the Supreme Court. The House of Ministries contains eight different Ministries and all decisions made by the Crown are enacted upon by the Council of Ministers, as they put the changes into effect. The Federal Council, on the other hand, governs the Oblast and Administrative Districts (ADs) of Garindina, all discussions still have to be approved by the crown. The State Duma is the only part of the government that can go against the crown. They can do this by "setting limits" on the minarchs powers.ocal Government is appointed by the Federal Council, with no need for approval from the crown. The Supreme Court enforces all laws enacted upon by the Monarchy as well as protects the Garindinan Constitution, also known as the Nationalist Constitution.

Monarchy

The Royal Palace of Garindina

The Monarchy of Garindina dates back to the first civilizations of the Gari people. Garindina is run by a hereditary monarchy and its current monarch is Queen Nadia V. The monarchy can be split into two sections, the Old Monarchy and the New Monarchy. This split is defined by the abolishment of the monarchy after the October Coup, currently Garindina is ruled by the new monarchy. The New Monarchy has ruled Garindina since 1998, after the end of the Garindinan Civil War. The first "New Monarch" was king Aleksandr the Great, and he reigned until his death on July 17th, 2015.

The Monarchs are Commander-in-Chief of the Garindinan Armed Forces and hold the authority to declare war and make alliances. Meaning that the entirety of the Garindinan Armed Forces and the Royal Guard are under the command of the Monarch. The Monarchy determines foreign policy and must sign all Acts, Bills and Laws for them to be enacted upon. Monarchs have the power to appoint Oblast and AD governors and the members of the Council of Ministers.

The Federal Council

The Federal Council governs the Oblast and Administrative Districts of Garindina. The Federal Council is made up of the Governors of Each Oblast and Administrative District, the current Head Councilman/women is Natasha Ivanova. Oblasts have the most autonomy in the Government, meaning they have the most power in the Federal Council. Administrative Districts have less autonomy, meaning they hold less power in the Federal Council.

Oblast were first introduced to Garindina after the Constitution War; this is due to the people of Garindina wanting representation in the government. Originally there were thirteen Oblasts, but after the Civil War, the Doria Oblast has been an independent nation. Each Oblast has its own form of government, all being a Federal Republic with their own State Duma. Despite this, the Oblast have no say in who will be the governor, as the monarch hand-picks all governors.

The same goes for Administrative Districts, they have their own State Council but have no say over who governs them. Administrative Districts are Politically important cities. With the Constitution only stating the six Administrative Districts of Parsa, Jasanasburg, Krasbograd, Novokamensk, Borisobay, and Yuzhemore. These Districts aren't just confined to a single city either, an Administrative District consists of the city in question and some surrounding area, with Novokamensk being the largest District.
