Revision as of 04:32, 15 February 2022

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 (e.g., whether there are one or two houses of the legislature, whether there's a single President of the FSA or a President and a Prime Minister, etc.) and will provide an official list of FSA chief executives that can be used to name streets, parks, schools, towns, etc. throughout the nation.

Title

Add suggestions for the title of the head of state. The title will be decided concurrently with the initial list of FSA executives.

  • President
  • Chief Executive
  • High Governor
  • Executive Minister
  • Executive Chairman
  • Prime Minister
  • High Consul
  • Vellegentis ("Will of the nation")

Presidential mansion name

  • Tempus Palace ('time palace', could've been named because it was rushed or was built int the *time* of need.
  • Huntington House

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 -- it is proposed to avoid having national political parties in favor of five standing "coalitions": far left, center-left, center-right, far right, and unaligned/independent. ("Unaligned/Independent" would likely be used as an identifier of a party that does not correspond to the traditional political spectrum rather than an actual unified fifth coalition.) Each state party would be encouraged to be part of one of these coalitions. This proposal is not finalized and FSA stateowners are encouraged to discuss on the talk page.
