The Empire of Aikoland is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy.
The head of state is the monarch, currently Empress Élisabeth IV, who functionally has no actual political or executive power, other than what is ceremonially required of them.
The head of government is the Prime Minister, currently Mélodie Belanger of the Social Democratic Party, who is the leader of the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies (the PM could also come from the Senate, but no Senator has been PM since 1906).
Parliament is bicameral and consists of the lower Chamber of Deputies (with 115 seats elected via a single nationwide constituency) and the upper Senate (with 30 seats, divided into 10 seats for each of our three states, elected on a staggered basis).
The judicial branch is the Supreme Court, with judges appointed by the Senate.

OOC answer: Ogranaland is an absolute monarchy with a queen holding most political power. There is a cult of personality around her, and her name is Ograna. There is a "council" which is made up of Ograna's trusted cronies, and is said to be democratic but in reality is simply a puppet of Queen Ograna. Once decisions are made by Ograna, they are final. There is a strict code of laws which all citizens must follow, and the punishment for not following them is often severe.
IC answer: The Empire of Ogranaland is a glorious, thriving democracy, with Her Most Brilliant Majesty Ograna, the guider of the nation's many happy citizens, in charge. She grants her citizens with many freedoms such as democracy and freedom of speech (as long as said speech is praising the Queen).

We are a constitutional monarchy based on the Westminster system with elements of the US system. For example, the King as Head of State has absolute veto of any laws brought to his desk, and also has the power to issue Royal Proclamations similar to Executive Orders, however the potential abuse of these powers are kept in check by the Supreme Court, who can nullify Proclamations if the are deemed to be unconstitutional.
The Prime Minister is the Head of His Majesty's Government, and is elected by the people separately from the Parliament, and does not have to be a member of Parliament or a political party (although they generally are a member of a party). The Prime Minister nominates those people he wants to head the various Government Departments, but his nominees are subject to the scrutiny and approval of the relevant Parliamentary Committee. Again the nominees are not Members of Parliament, but are considered by the Prime Minister to be the best man or woman for the job.

Ausslaugand Government
Ausslaugand is a constitutional nonpartisan presidential democracy.
- (1). The Constitution lays the idealistic values and principles for a safe and responsible society. According to its Articles, Ausslaugand forbids itself from three important entities: a standing military force, political parties, and territorial expansionism/changes. As a strict list of guidelines for the government and people, it's to minimise the chances of violent coups, uprisings, corruption, authoritarianism, and border disputes; however, the Constitution's main objectives is prevent any sole group from consolidating too much power or influence, least of all in politics.
If there are no border disputes, there is no need for a military, which, concurrently, eliminates a powerbase for political, ideological, and militaristic extremism, radicalisation, and terror. To further prevent interest group(s) and secret societies from infiltrating and hijacking the government and society as a whole, political parties are banned - something tightly enforced by law enforcement and intelligence agencies with a passion. No one - not even the President - is immune or above the law, as the Constitution is a 401,009 word long document of clear, concise, and unchangeable rules, making it very easy for any undisciplined, incompetent, and/or uninformed citizen to fall under scrutiny/questioning.
- (2). Nonpartisanism is a critical foundation of Ausslaugandian culture and governance. Originally, nonpartisanism was a byproduct of Ausslaugand's monarchist past, as the king/queen often made decisions and policies based upon issues across the political spectrums to suit what is best for the country. This enlightened monarchy, assisted and safeguarded by an educated thinktank, allowed Ausslaugand to survive or resolve numerous issues and calamities, such as, the Reformation, Industrialisation, Slavery, Liberal Revolutions, etc.
One of the greatest setbacks of monarchies from the pre-Ausslaugandian era, however, was the tedious vulnerability of authoritarianism and lack of secularism. Therefore, the king/queen often found themselves at odds with the people, who almost constantly questioned and monitored the ruler's motives, agendas, and affairs. While the monarchy gradually became increasingly more constitutional as time progressed, the monarchy's failure to ensure the country's safety in the First World War meant abdication, thereby paving the way for a more manageable and reliable leadership: a presidential system.
- (3). A Presidential system's greatest feature is its predictability. While still prone to dictatorship, the merits of separation of power, checks and balances, fixed tenure of office, and, most importantly, insulation from party politics, gifted the newfound nation of Ausslaugand a quick, decisive, and streamlined form of leadership. Though expensive and vulnerable to some corruption, Ausslaugand finally had an executive body for the people and by the people.
Every president can run unlimited five year terms, with presidential elections held every December. As the country is a unitary state with a unicameral legislature, one might think that Ausslaugand is left vulnerable to dictatorial rule; however, the Constitution allows the people to petition and, eventually, formally remove or impeach aforementioned official. With assistance from law enforcement and intelligence agencies, both the government and the people are simultaneously kept in check, ensuring that neither side can become too powerful or influential.

The legislature is based on sortition, which is essentially a jury-duty like process of randomly choosing legislators, creating a legislature that is representative of the population. The executives are elected, and the jury is appointed by the legislature. So it's essentially a democracy.

Lescaaris is a federal (is this part of the government classification?) unicameral, representative democratic diarchy. The two leaders ("stadtholders") are elected by the public, and so are the people of the legislature.

Sun Aug 15, 2021 8:11 pmby Grussland
Officially, Grussland is a multi-party constitutional parliamentary democracy with a decentralized executive in the form of the State Council.
In practice it's a pseudo-democracy where a single party is dominant and opposition parties are tolerated provided they do not criticize the President of the Presidium of the Chairs of the State Council and the Democratic Socialist Party.
In either case it's a unitary state organized along socialist concepts and ideals with a market socialist economic system.

While mostly like a megacorp, it also has the fact that noone really knows how leaders get into their positions. What makes this different from a normal democracy is that these leaders are also not put there via nepotism.

Tue Aug 17, 2021 3:07 amby The Disorder
The Disorder is anarchic technocracy, whose public policy is managed by a science council. Traditional elections do not exist, but people can join and leave the science council relatively freely. An element of direct democracy exists, because science council rulings can be modified or overturned by standard dispute-resolution procedures (simulated combat). Particularly controversial experiments in public policy do not survive the filter of public opinion.
The science council only has the power to direct the allocation of scarce resources, such as replicator time, nuclear fuel, and in times of disaster, military hardware. Law is almost non-existent, as public opinion has deemed legislation to be an existential threat.
Implicitly, the science council is responsible for the Disorder's incredibly robust scientific & magical research programs. They also handle all the details of designing, prototyping, maintaining, and updating the Disorder's nightmarishly powerful space fleet.
The Disorder's military has no hierarchy or chain of command. Individual pilots operate with total autonomy & hunt down those dastardly non-anarchists as they see fit - and there are plenty of them!

Fratanica is a federal semi-presidential constitutional republic, particularly a premier-presidential system. We have both a President and Prime Minister which, by the Fratanican constitution, holds split up duties. While the President is somewhat of a figurehead like in many semi-presidential republics, the President is also constitutionally given the responsibility over military and foreign affairs. The Prime Minister deals with domestic and economic affairs. The President is responsible for appointing a prime minister and ministers, however, they are only accountable to the National Diet and may only be removed by the National Assembly, via a vote of no confidence.
The administrative divisions within Fratanica are split up into 14 provinces and 1 self-autonomous capital city (Viras).

Tue Aug 17, 2021 2:03 pmby Cosnicu
The government draws from a mix of sources, trying to combine a tyranny of the masses democracy with other checks and balances. Some of the characteristic features of the government is this large quantity of seats (roughly one and a half thousand politicians exist in cosnicu's governing bodies) and the government is not exempt from affirmative action. Each seat (or set of seats) must match the demographics of its voters, the population). Amsterdam concept executed in cosnicu's government is an almost nonexistent executive branch. The internal government only has four executive officials, the speakers (one for each governing body and one as head of state) then a diplomatic agency set aside from domestic affairs to allow for better foreign policy. Lobbyist groups outside of public protest are frowned upon and despised. Public protests replace their role in society. Lastly, no one party or group of individuals can sonsolidate a large sum of power. Majorities by a party are almost nonexistent and most laws either pass quickly or reveal themselves as undesirable. The slowest point in the government is when a policy is robust enough to require a "shock test" before it can be used on the entirety of cosnicu.

Despite being officially a Republic, we have a hereditary monarch (currently Princess Laenowa Rubynzin) with a range of executive powers. We then have a legislature elected by all citizens who passed at least 20 years of education beneath having power over the laws and over the treasury. Our distributed nature requires a degree of decentralisation, but we aren't a federal state - the central government (in Galakar) maintains a series of bilateral agreements with the devolved governments spelling out their areas of jurisdiction

Sat Aug 21, 2021 11:19 amby Pirusavia
Pirusavia is a federal dominant-party socialist presidential republic. The government is anocratic, so it could be said that the country is an authoritarian democracy.
The President is considered as both the head of state and the head of government and holds immense executive powers. However, governmental affairs are usually much more given to the Prime Minister, who is officially the head of government. Being a representative democracy, the country also has a bicameral parliamentary system, which consists of the Senate (Seimas) as the upper house and the Chamber of Constituents as the lower house. In reality, the Chamber of Constituents holds much more power than the Seimas, whose job is only to review laws passing from the Chamber.
Elections are held every 5 years. There is technically a ballot to choose President and Prime Minister, but they only have one candidate and simple "For" and "Against" boxes. Choosing representatives for the Seimas and Chamber is much more freer with more choice to chose, though.
While technically still allows other political parties to run and not a one-party state, the Party of National Unity, the ruling party of the country, held immense power and influence over the people and country that it is almost difficult to outvote the party.

The Confederacy of
Osagh is a semi-presidential to parliamentary(it depends on the president and cabinet, as the president may choose to exercise only ceremonial power and delegate the rest to the Prime Minister and the cabinet)confederacy where the State President and the State Vice President are endowed with few but significant powers (such as appointing confederal officials and dissolving parliament for the former and chairing the Osaghian equivalent of the Senate and overseeing the management of colonies and protectorates for the latter),and the Prime Minister and the Cabinet have the power to make the final decisions on policies and issues. The Parliament is composed of the Confederal Council, a body where the confederal member-states are represented and the House of Representatives, a body where the people are represented equally. The government is accountable to Parliament, who may impeach the State President and remove the cabinet from office. The Parliament also has the power to declare war and peace, review foreign policy, declare a national emergency, admit new member-states to the Confederacy and to make laws concerning the nation.
The member-states have their own governments, which ranges from presidential to parliamentary to autocracy. The member-states have the power to legislate on health, police, environment, local economy, local revenue, local industries and other items specified in the State List(list will be made).
The Judicial System will likely be based on that of India and the United States.
Most of the Osaghian Colonies have the right to responsible government but some colonies do not.

Communist: The government owns all industry and runs it to benefit the people and to the state.
Devolved: Most policies are instituted by the states and districts. Notable exceptions are military command, foreign policy, broad economic policy (the feds choose if we're socialist capitalist etc etc etc), special authorization to suspend democracy and some civil rights (martial law), and are the arbiters between conflicts brought up to the Supreme court.
Democratic: We hold fair and free elections every five years for the Senate, the Chamber Minister, and local offices.
Republic: We have layers of rule between the citizens and laws, which are elected by citizens.

Caymarnia was an absolute eugenicist monarchy (it was the "Pureblood Imperium" at first), with all power in the person of the Emperor, no parliament allowed (similarly to Imperial Russia). Figuring I'd focus on my less personally-involved projects (my "main" nation is
The Underwood Industrial Empire, something that's had a number of forms since 1996... when I began it in my head in SimCity, lol), I elected on a revamp of Caymarnia, and going in the same direction as Russia did, it's gone red. It's technically a communist military dictatorship now (as the new head of state actually came from within the military, as opposed to those like Stalin or Brezhnev who liked to pin medals on themselves). There's a parliament, but the Party controls the election lists, and only Party members can vote. Things like that.
