[edit] In general
Lovia is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system. This means:

[edit] Oversight
Lovia is a nation with several political levels:
- The Federal Level
- The State Level
- The Local and Sublocal Level
Every level has its own system, leader and organization.
Also, there are several branches:
- The Executive Branch
- The Legislative Branch
- The Judiciary Branch
We will discuss all of these branches and levels, sorted by branch and subdivided in levels.
[edit] Executive Branch
Main article: Law.
The Exective Branch is the one which comes the most in contact with the people. The executive branch acts and executes what the Legislature has decided.
[edit] Federal
The nation's leader is also the highest rank of the executive branch. In Lovia the executive branch is formed by:
- The ruling monarch and the Prime Minister, both head of state.
- The Federal Secretaries of a certain department
The ruling monarch inherits the throne from his ancestors. The Prime Minister and the Secretaries are elected by the people. This is explained under the title Legislative: Federal.
[edit] State
The state is governed by a Governor. He is officially chosen by the people in state elections. The Governor doesn't often appoint State Secretaries, but it is possible. These secretaries aren't elected by the people.
[edit] Local
A city, town or neighborhood is governed by a mayor or a chairman. They aren't elected either. In case there are more than one candidates, a small election can be held after all.
[edit] Legislative Branch
The legislative branch creates and votes laws, who are adopted by the executive branch for exectution and by the judiciarial system for jurisdiction.
[edit] Federal
- Main article: Congress.
The Congress is the Lovian parliament. Its members are elected by the people in federal elections and they are called Members of the Congress. The Congress is based in the Capitol and has two Chambers: First Chamber and Second Chamber. In the first one the MOTC can propose laws and other proposals to their colleagues for discussion. When the proposer thinks the proposal will be accepted, he can replace it to the Second Chamber, where the Members can vote on it.
The Congress is chosen by the people. The person with the most votes will become Prime Minister, a member of the federal executive branch. The new Prime Minister (or 'Premier') will choose new Federal Secretaries, together with the ruling monarch. Together they appoint a certain amount of Secretaries, eg. for Energy and Environment or Finance.
[edit] State
There is no special legislative system for states. State Laws are written and approved by the elected Governor.
[edit] Local
There is no special legislature in cities, town or neighborhoods. These rules are made by the Mayor or Chairman.
[edit] Judiciary Branch
The Judiciary Branch or Justice is also very important. This branch decides over people and organizations who did wrong or who are accused of doing wrong. The Judiciary Branch has only two levels.
[edit] Federal
The Federal Level of Justice handles the mistakes against the two highest laws: the Constitution and the Federal Law. These lawsuits take place in the Supreme Court, based in the Capital. The lawsuits are presided by a Supreme Court Judge.
The Supreme Court Judges is appointed by the Federal Secretary of Justice and the Prime Minister.
[edit] State and Local
Every other lawsuit is handled in the State Court of the state it happened; things against the State Law or the City, Town or Neighborhood rules. These are presided by a State Judge, appointed by the State Governor and the Federal Secretary of Justice.
