The Meᵹelaneſe state is united not by a single pact, but by overlapping pacts and bilateral treaties between members. The parties generally agree to preserve the peace, aid in military endeavours and arbitrate disputes; moreover, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, each higher order only exists to fulfill needs that cannot be sufficiently met by the lower order and, because of this, even though the higher orders are necessarily over the lower ones, the scope of authority gets narrower as one moves up the levels of these orders.

These overlapping pacts and bilateral treaties are founded on the principle of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity subsidiarity], and each higher body only exists to fulfill those needs that cannot be sufficiently met by the lower body.

Therefore, the Meᵹelaneſe state is an example of asymmetric federalism, in which the different constituent states possess different powers, as agreed upon in each overlapping pact and/or bilateral treaty.
 
In addition to the principle of subsidiarity, two other principles govern Meᵹelaneſe politics; the first principle is ''isonomia'': the equal right of all citizens to exercise their political rights. through sortition, all citizens who wish have an equal chance and high likelihood of serving in public office. the second principle is ''isegoria'': every citizen has the right to speak and make proposals.
 
The first principle is embodied by the upper house of Meᵹelan's legislature, the Council of Nine Hundred, while the second principle is embodied by the lower house of Meᵹelan's legislature, the General Council.
 
===Council of Nine Hundred===
 
The Council of Nine Hundred comprises six types of randomly selected bodies, aided by support staff:
 
An ''Agenda Council'' of 150 people selected by lot from volunteers; they serve 3-year terms, with one third of members replaced each year, and they are not allowed to serve consecutive terms. They earn a salary, and their role is to create and update a list of issue areas. They decide which topics in each area need new laws written, or which existing laws need changing, but do not draft bills or vote on them, since these duties are left to the Interest Panels and Policy Juries instead.
 
Several ''Interest Panels'' of 12 people each, selected by lot from volunteers; their role is to produce draft bills about the issues highlighted by the Agenda Council; an Interest Panel is created for each issue, resulting in one draft bill for every issue. The draft bills are then reviewed by Review Panels and voted on by Policy Juries; the volunteers only serve long enough to draft a bill, do not earn a salary, but can serve as often as they want.
 
Several ''Review Panels'' whose members are drawn from a pool of 150 people, that are selected by lot from volunteers; they serve 3-year terms, with one third of members replaced each year, and they are not allowed to serve consecutive terms. They earn a salary, and their role is to review draft bills from Interest Panels, amend and combine bills, and produce final proposed bills that will go to a vote - but they don’t initiate bills or cast the final votes, since these duties are left to the Interest Panels and Policy Juries instead. They don’t choose what issue area they will be assigned to, in order to avoid possible domination of the panels by special interests.

Politics

The Meᵹelaneſe state is united not by a single pact, but by overlapping pacts and bilateral treaties between members; the parties generally agree to preserve the peace, aid in military endeavours and arbitrate disputes. These overlapping pacts and bilateral treaties are founded on the principle of subsidiarity, and each higher body only exists to fulfill those needs that cannot be sufficiently met by the lower body. This has resulted in a situation of de facto asymmetric federalism: the different constituent bodies of the Meᵹelaneſe state possess different powers, and the division of powers between these bodies is not symmetric, although they have the same constitutional status.
