Government

The Wakeland Governed by the Wakeland Parlament which is made of of a bicammeral legislature. Three Chancellors are elected to head the federal government. There is no federal judicial branch in Wakeland. All issues are resolved in state courts and issues between states are resolved in the Parlament. Wakeland is a proud Republic and upholds the ideals of republicanism in its governing philosphy. It is a very democratic nation, although delagation is an important concept in governing. All Wakeland citizens are elligble to run for any office. All citizens but felons are allowed to vote. Wakeland's constitusion is the Magna Terra Legge.

Chancellorship

The Chancellors are headed by the Prime Chancellor who is the winner of the greatest number of electoral votes. The Second Chancellor and Third Chancellor win the second and third most votes. Terms are six year-no re-election, however, a Chancellor can run for another Chancellor seat. Prime Chancellor Del Monitti is expected to run for Second or Third Chancellor in the next election, while Third Chancellor Ferdiand Wake is expected to run for the Prime Chancellorship. The Chancellors are the symbolic leaders of the nation and traditionally play a large role in foriegn deplomacy, the apointing of Ambassodors, The Ministry executives. A bill may be signed into law with the approval of only the Prime Chancellor, upon its passage in the Parlament, however if both the other Chancellors choose to veto the bill it fails and will be sent back to the Parlament. Likewise two chancellors can over ride a veto by the Prime Chancellor. If the Chancellors niether veto nor sign a bill, it is inacted within a week.

Parlament

The Parlament refers to the two federal legislative bodies, the house of Delagates and the House of Sensibles. For a bill to be passed in Wakeland it must pass through both houses.

House of Delagates

The House of Delagates is elected at large. Three Delagates are chosen from each state in the union and serve three year terms. Delagates debate and vote upon bills. Bills are introduced in this house and move to the house of sensibles upon their passage. Despite years of urban cries for a population based represenative system the ammendment has never passed.

House of Sensibles

The House of Sensibles is the uperhouse in the Parlament; they are appointed by their state's govonor to serve three year terms. Governers do not have to seek state legislatures approval in appointing Sensibles however that practice is becoming more common as formality. Sensibles have the power to vote upon bills and to over ride the veto of the Chancellorship with a 2/3 vote.

Wakeland Ministries

The Following is a list of the executives of the Wakeland Federal Ministries: Ministry of Defense- Bernard Shultz General Dwight D. Hassenfeffer Commander Jim Morris Ministry of Investigations Agency- Geoffry Longshanks Ministry of Agriculture- Ministry of Trade- Luke S. Moneymaker Ministry of Enviromental Protection- Ministry of State- Misistry of Labor- Misistry of Education-

State Government

The States hold a great deal of autonomy. Each State holds elections for a Governer, term limits vary. Each state also has a legislative body, most commonly refered to the General Assembly although some states refer to the state legislature as the Senate. State Govonors appoint judicial nominees with the approval of the legislatures, however three states do not have a state supreme court. New Bookhaven, North and South Dresser have never approved a state supreme court.
