[Alenbel]

1.

3. Are term limits in place and enforced on all governmental positions with executive or legislative authority?: No, there are no term limits.

4. Does the ability to pass legislature and decide public policy rest solely in the legislature or authorities delegated by and dependent upon the legislature?: Mostly; it is a principle of the constitution that Parliament is sovereign. Organisations such as municipal councils and the Church can pass secondary legislation, which is always superseded by anything the legislature passed.

6. Is the judiciary and its ability to carry out its duties within accordance to established law independent of and unrestricted by other institutions?: Not entirely. The nation's highest court of appeal is in fact a group of lords - the Law Lords - who sit in the House of Lords as legislators. Furthermore, it is accepted that Parliament itself can become a court of law and put any individual on trial, in a rarely-used process known as 'impeachment'. However, the judiciary is largely independent.

11. Are all adult citizens eligible to vote regardless of sex, ethnicity, or other conditions?: Yes.

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?: There is only one state-owned broadcaster and it is required to be independent of politics.
13. Does the state censor any media for political reasons?: No.
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: the only unprotected speech is fraud, libel and incitement to crime.
15. Are residents allowed to form non-violent and non-obstructive political demonstrations without threat of persecution?: Yes.

16. Are elections fair and regular?: Yes.

[Valentine Z]

1. Are all members of the executive branch, or individuals otherwise holding executive authority, elected or appointed by and dependent upon elected officials?: Elected, though some are appointed.
2. Are all members of all branches of the legislature elected by the citizenry?: A good 90% of them are elected.
3. Are term limits in place and enforced on all governmental positions with executive or legislative authority?: There are no term limits as far as one is concerned. For the leaders anyway, a good 99.9% of the populace are more than satisfied with the current auhtorities.

4. Does the ability to pass legislature and decide public policy rest solely in the legislature or authorities delegated by and dependent upon the legislature?: Proposed by the authorities, discussed with the public. Ultimately passed and decided by the public.
5. Is the legislature and its functionings, that is to propose, debate, pass, repeal, and amend legislation entirely independent of and unrestricted by other institutions?: Very independent and cannot be vetoed by other institutions.
6. Is the judiciary and its ability to carry out its duties within accordance to established law independent of and unrestricted by other institutions?: Very independent. No amount of money can influence that.

7. What percentage of the eligible population voted in the last general election?: 99.99999333 % (400 out of 6 eligible billion did not vote)
8. Is voting voluntary?: Yes.
9. Are all citizens eligible to vote also eligible to run for any public office, assuming they are of age, regardless of partisan loyalties or other conditions?: Yes, they are allowed to.
10. Is citizenship granted to all individuals born in the nation’s territory, and means of acquiring citizenship in place for all legal immigrants?: Yes, and becoming a Valentian is an easy process.
11. Are all adult citizens eligible to vote regardless of sex, ethnicity, or other conditions?: Yes, as long as you're above 18, you're good to vote.

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?: News are divided into two sections - factual reporting, followed by an opinion sharing, where it's an open mic session.
13. Does the state censor any media for political reasons?: No. Extremely gory and detailed graphics (NSFL stuff, basically) are taken out in newspapers, but a link is provided for those who are brave enough to see it.
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. And you will be granted witness protection if a private organisation is threatening you. The Valentian Government does not bow down to any private companies.
15. Are residents allowed to form non-violent and non-obstructive political demonstrations without threat of persecution?: Yes, free speech is protected.

16. Are elections fair and regular?: Yes.

Of one note is that the Valentian Government System is a rather weird one - both OOCly and ICly. I'm not fond of killing off or changing my characters at the moment, so the current characters and leaders might be ruling for years, decades, centuries... though I might put some of them into retirement (they will live on, but they just stepped down). And add that to the fact that immortality is in play for almost all the Valentians (even the ordinary citizens), so a term can last for as long as a thousand years.
