Which party is in power? Freedom Party
Are they in a coalition? If so, what parties are they in a coalition with? An informal, very loose coalition with various other parties depending on the issue at hand; usually cooperate with the Equality Party, but not always.
What languages are spoken in your legislature? All of them.
Voting system? Parliament votes on each bill or each issue by the issue; each party itself votes to appoint one or more of their MPs to be their speaker on the bill or issue, and the speakers debate it before the entire parliament. Each MP may then anonymously vote using an electronic closed-network system, and the votes are counted up. Because there are a large number of parties with different views on various topics, parties have been known to form informal coalitions when it comes to certain issues if they agree on that issue, but these coalitions usually do not extend that far beyond those issues. Strictly speaking, there are exponentially more parties than just the ones actually in Parliament, but these parties do not have enough political sway to get voted into Parliament, and thus without any MPs, they have no say in anything. (Due to how large the parliament is, even parties who do get in may not have much political sway, if their views are too different from the rest; however, because of anonymous voting, partisanship is lower and voting across party lines happens more often.)

As for electing people into parliament, it is a proportional representation party block voting with, in which a party who receives X% of votes receives X% of the seats, as long as that percentage is at least .01% (the amount required to get a single seat.) When a party receives a number of seats, anyone who is a registered member of that party (be they politician or average citizen) may then use instant run-off voting to choose who gets the seats among people in the party running for MP.

Outside of Parliament, when voting for the queens (elective monarchy with more than one monarchy; in practice it is is closer to a presidential democracy which allows the public to also vote for the cabinet members, but the offices hold the title of queen none-the-less; each queen is simultaneously a head of state and head of government, but for the latter only for their particular department, meaning it is like a cabinet but those cabinet members are awfully important. The Hell Queen of the Sin of Pride is the closest office to a true head of government.) instant run off voting is used with a none of the above option.

In all cases, there are term limits, which are specific to each office, but the law is worded in such a way that this only applies to consecutive terms; someone could, in theory, and not infrequently in practice, serve their maximum term in an office, run for a different office, serve their maximum term in that office, then run for the first office again. That said, actually getting elected is difficult, even if you are popular with voters.
