Government & Administration

Safiloa's political system is deeply rooted in communalist and Mazdakite principles, emphasizing equality, environmental stewardship, and collective governance. It operates with a unique structure that divides responsibilities among four co-equal Heads of Government, known as the Gohulu, each representing a distinct value derived from Mazdakite philosophy. Below is an overview of the key components:

1. Executive Branch

The four Gohulu hold different responsibilities and are selected through various methods to reflect Safiloa's pluralistic and balanced governance. Each Gohul has a specific philosophical role:

• Gohul Rameši (Joy): Focused on ensuring the well-being and happiness of the populace, Rameši oversees ombudsmen (Dodovo) and promotes societal harmony.
• Gohul Mobadi (Discernment): Handles legal matters and discernment in governance, ensuring fairness and justice. Mobadi has the power to review decisions and intervene in case of abuses of power.
• Gohul Herebi (Comprehension): Responsible for fostering intellectual and societal comprehension. Herebi ensures the population's access to education, knowledge, and cultural understanding.
• Gohul Sebabi (Preservation): Tasked with environmental protection, sustainability, and preservation of the state’s cultural and natural heritage.

Each Gohul's authority is balanced by the others to prevent centralization of power.

2. Legislative Branch

Safiloa's legislative system is divided into four distinct parts, each with a particular function within the overall governance structure:

Dodovulo (Joy):

• Composed of 13 Dodovo (Ombudsmen), nominated by Gohul Rameši and Gohul Herebi.
• These Ombudsmen travel the country, gather information, arbitrate disputes, and suggest policies for enhancing public happiness and social harmony.
• Each Dodovo represents one of the 13 provinces.

Fomanulo (Comprehension):

• Made up of 73 elected Fomano (Representatives), partially chosen democratically and proportionately by the provinces.
• This body is responsible for drafting laws and policies. They often operate through political parties and represent various regions and interests of the population.
• Some Fomano representative are allocate for certain demographics, such LGBTQI+, ethnic minority,

Pešigulo (Preservation):

• Includes 25 Pešigo (Provosts) drawn from socio-cultural, economic, and religious institutions.
• They act as a safeguard by reviewing laws and policies drafted by the Fomanulo. Their goal is to ensure these policies do not harm the population or the environment.

Hotsalulo (Discernment):

• Composed of 7 Hotsalo (Ministers), nominated by Gohul Mobadi and Gohul Sebabi.
• These Ministers serve as Chief Justices and have the power to veto Pešigulo decisions or enact emergency legislation if necessary, providing a judicial check on the legislative process.

3. Communal Governance and Balance

Safiloa is a communalist state, where the concept of shared ownership and communal decision-making is central. Communal-Republics, small self-governing communities, play a vital role in shaping national policies. These communities elect representatives to the Fomanulo, ensuring that governance remains participatory and reflects local needs.

To balance power and prevent any institution from dominating, Safiloa's government has an interdependent structure where the Gohulu, legislative bodies, and communal structures maintain oversight over each other. This promotes decentralization of power and ensures policies align with the values of communalism, environmental preservation, and the well-being of all inhabitants.

Economy

Safiloa's economy is based on sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and small-scale industries. The nation's currency is the Lulu (ȴ).

Culture

Safiloa is known for its rich cultural heritage, including music, dance, and traditional crafts. The official language, Sokhainean, reflects the nation's diverse cultural influences with roots in Middle Persian and Austronesian languages.

Environmental Policy

Safiloa places a strong emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development. The government promotes eco-friendly practices and renewable energy sources.
