All other "levels" of government may or may not have term limits, based on local law. The President has a 4 year term. The Vice President runs with the President and therefore has the same term limits as the President, but upon resignation, death, or another form of incapacitation that warrants a removal from office, the President has the authority to appoint the Vice President with the consent of the House of Lords. The secretaries/ministers of executive departments are appointed by the President (with consent). The State level of government closely follows this, except state Attorney Generals are elected by the state residents.

12. Is state media entirely politically impartial and non-partisan, reporting objectively and or allowing a platform for dissenting or competing opinions when discussing political issues?: No. The government newspaper is released by the House of Lords every quarter and updates the public on the bills passed by both houses that quarter and any other important announcement(s).

13. Does the state censor any media for political reasons?: No. There is a government newspaper released each quarter which, with the President's authority, may be censored or (temporarily) barred from being released.

[South Zimenma]

1. Are all members of the executive branch, or individuals otherwise holding executive authority, elected or appointed by and dependent upon elected officials?: Yes.

13. Does the state censor any media for political reasons?: Yes--see above.
14. Are residents allowed to express any speech free from censorship or persecution from state institutions, exempting fraud, libel, and incitement to violent crime?: Yes. Zionism is understood to be violent in nature; thus, it is censored only because it counts as incitement to violent crime.
15. Are residents allowed to form non-violent and non-obstructive political demonstrations without threat of persecution?: Yes, so long as they remain peaceful.

16. Are elections fair and regular?: Yes for everywhere except the Western District. Elections in the Western District, which is facing unrest due to an insurgency, have been suspended by the Supreme Soviet.
