The Government of Velaheria (Dolch: Regierung von Velaheria), officially the Socialist Government of Velaheria (Dolchic: Sozialistische Regierung von Velaheria) is a political structure that works as a legislative, executive and judiciary of the Democratic People's Republic of Velaheria. It uses an Unicameral legislative system.

Legislature

People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Velaheria

The Supreme People's Assembly  is the unicameral  legislature  of the Democratic People's Republic of Velaheria (DPRV), commonly known as Velaheria. It consists of one residuary deputy from each of the 536 constituencies,  elected to four year terms.

The  constitution  identifies the SPA as the "highest organ of state power" and all state positions, including the  Supreme Leader, trace their authority to it. The Assembly typically legislates directly, but sometimes the delegates are tasked to a smaller Velaherian Revolutionary Council. The policies legislated by the SPA are carried out by government officials subject to oversight and correction by the Supreme Leader.

The  Velaherian People's Party, which the constitution recognizes as the state's leading party, dominates the Assembly in a monopoly  coalition  with the  Velaherian Socialist Party  and the Unionist Party  called the People's Front. Elections are held in five-year intervals.

It is where the day to day decisions are taken, the legislative building is located in the Central Venue, Bastaria. Every proposal that's announced is first read out by the speaker of the assembly, after that a brief discussion is taken place discussing the issue.

After that the general secretary of the Velaherian People's party addresses the issue to the Chairman of the party or the president, who then either approves or declines the proposal, following that the legislature votes about the issue where it is either passed or abstained or declined.

It is seen that virtually every proposal taken by the government has passed with a 100% approval making the party nothing more than a rubber stamp done to justify every decision of the party and the executive.

Judiciary

The Velaherian judicial system is based on the ideals of the Velaherian socialist system of just and swift justice.  It includes the  Central Court of the Democratic People's Republic of Velaheria, Provincial Courts, local People's Courts, and Fast-Paced Courts.

The Central Court is the  highest court, with its  judges appointed by the  Supreme People's Assembly  (SPA). According to the  Socialist Constitution of Velaheria, The Central Court is accountable to the SPA, and the Criminal Code subjects judges to  criminal liability for handing down "unjust sentences".

Supreme Court of the Democratic People's Republic of Velaheria

The  Supreme Court of the Democratic People's Republic of Velaheria  is the highest court and court of appeal  in  Velaheria.

The court is headed by a Chief Justice or Consul, two Associate Chief Justices /Vice Consuls and unknown number of regular Justices.

Sub-Courts

Below the high court are two other judicial levels:

Provincial Court or Court of the Province - 48-52 courts

People's Courts or Fast-Paced Courts

Judicial Freedom

The Constitution states that justice is administered by the Central Court, Provincial or courts, the People's Court or fast-paced Courts, and the courts are accountable to the  Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) or when it is not in session,  then to the People's Ministries. So that proves more towards the fact that the Velaherian People's party is supreme to any decision taken by the court and can vehemently oppose or turn down any decisions taken by the courts if it so pleases, in accordance to the articles of the Socialist Constitution of Velaheria.

Political Parties

According to the Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Velaheria, the right to govern and administer the nation lies with the VPP which stands for the Velaherian People's Party, and the two subordinate parties that form the ruling coalition of the Supreme People's Assembly.
