Politics
Ðe Meᵹelaneſe ſtate is united not by a ſinᵹle pact, but by overlappinᵹ pacts and bilateral treaties betƿeen members. Ðe parties ᵹenerally aᵹree to preſerve ðe peace, aid in military endeavours and arbitrate diſputes; moreover, in accordance ƿið ðe principle of ſubſidiarity, each hiᵹher order only exiſts to fulfill needs ðat cannot be ſufficiently met by ðe loƿer order and, because of ðis, even ðough ðe higher orders are necessarily over ðe loƿer ones, ðe scope of auþority gets narroƿer as one moves up ðe levels of ðese orders.
Ðerefore, ðe Meᵹelaneſe ſtate is an example of aſymmetric federaliſm, in ƿhich ðe different conſtituent ſtates poſseſs different powers, as aᵹreed upon in each overlappinᵹ pact and/or bilateral treaty.
In addition to ðe principle of ſubſidiarity, tƿo oðer principles ᵹovern Meᵹelaneſe politics; ðe firſt principle is iſonomia: ðe equal riᵹht of all citizens to exerciſe ðeir political riᵹhts. Þrouᵹh ſortition, all citizens ƿho ƿiſh have an equal chance and hiᵹh likelihood of ſervinᵹ in public office. Ðe ſecond principle is iſeᵹoria: every citizen has the riᵹht to ſpeak and make propoſals.
Ðe firſt principle is embodied by ðe upper houſe of Meᵹelan's leᵹiſlature, ðe Council of Nine Hundred, ƿhile ðe ſecond principle is embodied by ðe loƿer houſe of Meᵹelan's leᵹiſlature, ðe Ᵹeneral Council.
