Structure
The government of Järvalaimaa is confusingly styled both as a parliamentary democracy while also fusing elements of a presidential republic into the system. The college of electors will select the President after being elected from their own estates. The Parliament works like typical parliaments, with members being elected and then attempting to form a majority coalition who selects the Prime Minister, who then remains under scrutiny of the President.
Elections
After massive abuses of power by previous prime ministers, in 1947 the estates were assigned a certain number of electors they could allot to the college of electors, who would then choose the President. For the Presidential elections, the different candidates must win electors from the different estates, up to #, needing just over half (#) to win outright. If nobody wins in the first round, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their electors are then freed to choose another candidate to support. The system is widely criticized for allowing Presidents to be elected with less than 30% of the popular vote, and also for the inconsistency in the ways that estates divide up their delegates, with some opting for proportional representation, and other option for winner takes all. Further, there are usually widespread allegations of corruption after the electors of a defeated candidate switch.
For Parliamentary elections, there are 300 individual districts, with approximately 79,000 residents in each, where parliamentarians are elected by single member district plurality. However, for the other 200 seats, parliamentarians are selected through open list proportional representation, which allows party elites to keep seats and smaller national parties to win a few seats. For each parliamentary election, the ballot will contain candidates for the resident's district and the party they wish to vote for. Both must be filled out for the ballot to count, though "None of the Above" is kept as an option on both questions.
Legislature
The 500 seat Parliament is home to several larger parties with a swath of smaller, regional parties that will combine forces and coalition build for the majority. Currently, the majority coalition is made up of x, y, and zed large parties, with the x y and zed regional parties involved as well. There is a 54-46 ratio of males to females, and many speculate that with further elections there may be a majority female parliament.
