Politics

Government

The Federal Republic of Fratanica is a federal presidential constitutional republic. The structure of government is determined by the Constitution of Fratanica, ratified in 1941. Like many democracies, the federal government is divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. Federal executive power is vested in the President as both the head of state and the head of government, with the Prime Minister taking second in command within the government. The Prime Minister is in charge of supervising ministries, nominating cabinet members, and organizing cabinet meetings.

Federal legislative power falls under the unicameral, 330-seat National Assembly. 282 seats of the National Assembly are directly voted in by constituents from each of the 14 provinces (administrative divisions) and serve 4-year terms, with a 2-term limit. The other 48 seats are determined by proportional representation. The number of seats awarded for each province are determined by the population proportion of each province, determined by the National Census.  

Supreme judicial power falls under the Supreme Court of Fratanica, headed by the President of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the highest appellate court of the land, with their decisions binding to all lower courts through the principle of stare decisis.

Fratanica follows a system of federalism, with authority being shared between federal and provincial governments. Both federal and provincial governments have exclusive powers assigned to them, as well as concurrent powers between them.
