Collab:Federal States/Government

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The government of the Federal States consists of three co-equal branches: a legislature (passes laws), an executive (enforces laws), and a judicial (interprets/clarifies laws). The names and structures of these three branches of government are important as they may affect how areas of the FSA get mapped. For example, an official list of FSA chief executives can be used to name streets, parks, schools, towns, etc. throughout the nation.

Agencies

Federal States Post Office

Based on the results of a forum poll in August 2022, the postal service of the Federal States is officially named the Federal States Post Office. National postal codes use the following format:

CC-##XX

where:

  • CC indicates a state's two-letter abbreviation;
  • ## indicates a two-number code, up to the individual stateowner
  • XX indicates a two-character code, up to the individual stateowner. These two characters can be letters or numbers, although use of the letters I, O, Q, S, or Z are discouraged to prevent potential confusion with numbers.

Judicial

Add suggestions for the name of the high court of the FSA.

  • Supreme Court
  • Superior Court
  • High Court
  • Court of Record
  • National Court
  • Superior Judiciary
  • Supreme Judiciary
  • The Amelioratrix
  • Constitutional Court

Parties

In an effort to allow each state more freedom to determine their own local politics, and to avoid potential issues of national-level overwikification, the project will avoid having national political parties in favor of five standing "coalitions." Each state party would be encouraged to be part of one of these coalitions. The details of this proposal is not finalized and FSA stateowners are encouraged to discuss this in the dedicated FSA forum.
