History
Government and Politics
The Republic of West Florida is a Federal Republic with 11 states with 50 counties in each state. However the Republic is a republic in name only, and is ruled by the military in reality. In theory the government is a weaker government, with most of the power in the hands of the states.
Legislative
The Legislative branch is made up of the unicameral General Assembly, which has 550 seats. The General Assembly makes federal laws, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the government from every branch except the militant branch.
Executive
The president is the commander-in-chief of the military, can veto legislative bills before they become law (subject to GA override), and appoints the members of the Cabinet (subject to GA approval) and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
