History

(WIP)

Governance

(WIP)

The Dominion is a democratic federation, consisting of a legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Dominion's legislative branch is bi-cameral, consisting of two chambers, the lower chamber known as the "Hui Kanaha" (the People's Assembly) and the upper chamber known as the "Hui Nui" (the "Chiefs' Council").

Legislative Branch

The Hui Kahana is elected based on a proportional representation system. Every five years, each citizen votes on candidates from the competing political parties and the outcome determines the number of junior representatives of each district. The Huk Kahana total representation is adjusted periodically to ensure it remains proportional to the population. The Kahana is responsible for drafting and passing legislation related to national policies, budgets, and other matters which affect the entire nation. They serve a fixed term of four years, staggered for re-election every two years. The Hui Nui is composed of senior representatives who are elected by each of the Dominion's territories (also known as administrative regions), regardless of population.  The Nui focuses on maters related to individual territories, including local governance, territorial management, and regional development. They also play a significant role in reviewing and amending legislation proposed by the Hui Kahana.

The Apunian head of state is the "Chief Executive".
