'''[[Vetonia]]''' is a {{wpl|federal state}} with a {{wpl|multi-party system}} governed along {{wpl|consociationalism|consociational lines}}. The divisions within ethnic groups along class lines renders impossible the formation of a {{wpl|majority government}}, instead {{wpl|coalition (politics)|coalition governments}} have been the norm since the founding of the country in 1917. | |||
Nearly all political families are divided along ethnic lines, with multiple parties catering similar ideological profiles to their respective ethnic groups. As a result, parties register as either Javol-Iverdonian, Rugrese, Brillian or Rodenese. Rugrese parties only operate in [[Vellavia]] and [[Tosandria]], whereas Brillian parties only run for election in [[Iverdonia]] and [[Rodenia]]. Rodenese parties operate solely in Rodenia, and nationalist Iverdonian parties, although they register as 'Javol-Iverdonian' only run in [[Iverdonia]]. Typically, most Javol-Iverdonian parties do not run in Rodenia, instead establishing electoral pacts with autochthonous parties. There is also a small number of parties, on the {{wpl|left-wing|left}} and {{wpl|far-left}} of the political spectrum that seek to appeal to voters from all of the country's five ethnic groups. | |||
From the establishment of the country in 1917, there have been four main political families: {{wpl|Social democracy|social democrats}}, {{wpl|Liberalism|liberals}}, {{wpl|Agrarianism|agrarians}} and {{wpl|Christian democracy|religious parties}}. As early as 1920, however, the more extreme elements of the various social democratic parties split and formed a fifth political family, the {{wpl|communism|communist}}. Likewise, beginning with the 1930s, a sixth party family, a nationalist one, either more politically moderate or on the {{wpl|far-right}} surged. Lastly, beginning the 1970s, the rise of the {{wpl|New Left}} gave birth to two more political parties that appeal to all ethnic groups, the {{wpl|democratic socialism|democratic socialists}}, split from the [[Communist Party of the Peoples of Vetonia|PCPV]] and the [[Greens (Vetonia)|Greens]]. | |||

Vetonia is a federal state with a multi-party system governed along consociational lines. The divisions within ethnic groups along class lines renders impossible the formation of a majority government, instead coalition governments have been the norm since the founding of the country in 1917.
Nearly all political families are divided along ethnic lines, with multiple parties catering similar ideological profiles to their respective ethnic groups. As a result, parties register as either Javol-Iverdonian, Rugrese, Brillian or Rodenese. Rugrese parties only operate in Vellavia and Tosandria, whereas Brillian parties only run for election in Iverdonia and Rodenia. Rodenese parties operate solely in Rodenia, and nationalist Iverdonian parties, although they register as 'Javol-Iverdonian' only run in Iverdonia. Typically, most Javol-Iverdonian parties do not run in Rodenia, instead establishing electoral pacts with autochthonous parties. There is also a small number of parties, on the left and far-left of the political spectrum that seek to appeal to voters from all of the country's five ethnic groups.
From the establishment of the country in 1917, there have been four main political families: social democrats, liberals, agrarians and religious parties. As early as 1920, however, the more extreme elements of the various social democratic parties split and formed a fifth political family, the communist. Likewise, beginning with the 1930s, a sixth party family, a nationalist one, either more politically moderate or on the far-right surged. Lastly, beginning the 1970s, the rise of the New Left gave birth to two more political parties that appeal to all ethnic groups, the democratic socialists, split from the PCPV and the Greens.
