The federal government of the Republic of Morrawia (Morrawian federal government or Morrawian government) is the national government of the Republic of Morrawia, a federal republic located primarily in Southern Thrismari, composed of 24 states, 3 city-provinces, 1 unincorporated territory, and the federal district and national capital of Králowec, F.D., where most of the federal government is based.

The Morrawian 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 the Federal Congress, including the creation of executive departments and courts subordinate to the Morrawian Supreme Court and other high courts.

Political parties & movements

As of now, in Morrawia, there are officially 14 parties registered which did run for the latest House elections (2020) in all Provinces of Morrawia, from which 6 managed to get their representation in the House of Representatives (that is getting >5% in the elections) and 7 in the Senate.

Elections

Timing of elections

Senate: Every 2 years ⅓ of the Senate is replaced in a vote
House of Representatives: Every 4 years
Provincial: Every 4 years for local Houses and every 2 years for local Senates

Process of elections

Morrawia has very decentralized election system. There are three types: Federal, Provincial and Municipal. 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.

Federal Congress (Legislature)

House of Representatives

House of Representatives has 741 members from every Province. Elections are held every 4 years and seats are proportionally distributed per votes.
