The Federal Government, The Federal Government of Morrawia or Government of Morrrawia is the national government of the Republic of Morrawia, a federal republic located in southern Thrismari, composed of 27 provinces, 1 unincorporated territory and a city within a federal district (the city of Králowec in the Federal District of Králowec, where most of the federal government is based). The federal government, sometimes simply referred to as Králowec, is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the Morrawian Constitution in the Federal Congress, the president and the federal courts, respectively. The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by acts of Congress, including the creation of executive departments and courts inferior to the Supreme Court.

Process of elections
Morrawia has very decentralized election system. There are two types: Federal and Provincial. Federal elections to the House of Representatives are held every 4 years and for the Senate, ⅓ of the Senate is elected every 2 years with a term of 6 years in total for every senator. Since 1995 all federal elections are considered a public holiday and two days for House and Senate elections every year are days, with no school and no work. People can vote either in a polling place in every town or city, or can mail-in their ballots before the election days start. Votes are than counted the last day of an election and finally declared the day after. Due to proportional voting system, no one´s vote is wasted, except only if their candidate gets less than five percent of the votes. Presidential elections are happening every 4 years and are separate from elections to legislature. These elections are two-round proportional voting and if one candidate doesnt get at least 50% of votes, second round happens.
No campaign time
7 days before elections, it is prohibited to air political campaign rallys, do those rallys or spread any advertisement concerning the elections, otherwise they can face the fine of up to 200 000 tollars. 3 days before elections, media are prohibited from posting last-minute public opinion polls. Those rules are put in place to ensure, that there isn't a last-minute agenda push that can sway people's emotions and not their rationality.
