[-] Commonwealth Government and Politics [-]

            

The Commonwealth is a Federal Parliamentary Directorial Republic of which the High Representatives act as the heads of state that act as one for the nation. Executive power is vested upon the High Representatives while Legislative and formerly including Judicial power is exercised by the People's Council, Judicial power is headed by a body independent from both the High Representatives and People's Council known as the High Table of Judges of which currently, no judge is in power as the High Table of Judges are suspended due to a constitutional anomaly and loophole, currently, the Lower Table of Judges which act as Federal level judges supplement the absence of the High Table of Judges within a rotation scheme, many have viewed this as a transition of all Judiciary Power, including Constitutional, Administrative, Appellate and Criminal cases.

Executive Branch

Executive power can be vetoed by the People's Council if ever the need arises such as the passing of an executive order that either breach and/or infringes the rights of the citizens and constitutional framework. Originally, the executive branch was able to remove and/or appoint individuals within the People's Council and/or Ministers for the sub-branches of the government such as education, economy, agriculture and etc. currently the People's Council is also in charge of appointing individuals for the ministerial positions through a democratic process yet the executive branch is still able to choose from the voted ministers and/or choose one. Each High representative is capable of initiating proclamations, memorandum circulars, and memorandum orders independently without the approval of all of the other High representatives. All High representatives must collectively agree upon when initiating an executive order or an administrative order.

High representatives are able to independently deport aliens within the commonwealth after due process, capable of changing the status of the alien from a non-immigrant or non-resident to a permanent resident within the nation without the need for a Visa. High representatives must collectively agree upon when vetoing and/or superceding the decisions and choices of the Minister of Border Integrity and Immigration before it becomes final and executory. All of these actions can be directly vetoed by vote by the People's Council with Full support from the Judiciary branch, otherwise the veto action is rendered null.

Legistative Branch

Legislative powers are broad and are numerous but are all under the supervision of the executive branch. The legislative power is held by the unicameral parliament of the People's Council composed of 200 councilors with 50 councilors rotating every 2 years with the possibility of reelection (maximum term of 4 years total) through popular vote via local elections. These 200 councilors would subsequently elect a High Counselor via vote by majority of five candidates, the remaining candidates that did not achieve majority would act as deputy High Counselors or more formally, Sub Counselors. To be part of the People's Council the minimum requirements are as follows:

   - The candidate must be at least 25 years old and no older than 65 years old before election day.
   - The candidate must be a fully-fledged natural-born citizen of the People's Commonwealth.
   - The candidate must be able to read and write in both ENGLISH, and MANDARIN (Nantianese or Modern)
   - The candidate must be a registered voter.

   - The candidate must have at least completed high-school level education.
   - The candidate must be a resident for more than 4 years before election day.

The responsibilities of the People's Council is to write, enact and pass bills and laws that are for the benefit of the commonwealth as a whole, all matters relating to malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance by officers and employees of the government; implementation of the constitutional provision on nepotism; and investigation of any matter of public interest on its own initiative or brought to its attention by any member of the People's Council. The People's council is responsible for the total financial budget of the entire government and if the need arises, the financial budget can be supervised with due diligence by the High representative AND people's council if the budget's origin source and/or flow of resources are anomalous.

When bills are written and subsequently enacted, They pass into law when they are approved by both the People's Council and the High Representatives. A bill may be vetoed by the High Representatives, but the People's Council may overturn an executive veto by garnering a 2/3rds vote. If the High Representatives does not act on a proposed law submitted by People's Council, it will lapse into law after 30 days of receipt and would become a full-fledge law in effect after another 15 days.

The People's council can be further subdivided by Cooperatives that deal on specific issues and fields pertaining to the development of the Commonwealth. These cooperatives are headed by a Chief and cooperatives can be no more than 15 Members or less, each cooperative also requires observers from each province and/or a designated mouthpiece that will inseminate the decisions and actions of the cooperative.
