History
main article: History of Weinersteinston
Pre-Formation History
Weinersteinston was originally a group of colonie of New European nations. After they felt that they were too far away to be controled by these nations, the colonies bonded and wrote a declaration of their intent to break from these nations and form a new nation. They're request was granted, and the Republic of Weinersteinston was formed.
Post-Formation History
Since its formation, the Republic of Weinersteinston became involved in many PEEL issues. After a great amount of time in peace, President Silver was kidnapped by Dark Jedi and formed the Empire of Weinersteinston, named himself Emperor, and joined the Holy Dominion. After the entrance in the Holy Dominion, the Smiley Face Army quickly grew in size. After a few months of being involved in the Dominion War, the Communist rebels fought out the Imperials in the Battle of Weinston City and the People's Republic of Weinersteinston was formed. Since the formation of the People's Republic, it's become a member of COMECON and hasn't been as involved in PEEL issues as it had in the past, but still very active.
Politics
Politically speaking, Weinersteinston is diverse nation. With its political parties and three changes in government, Weinersteinston has changed much since 2051.
History
Originally, the Republic of Weinersteinston was a democratic government. In 2051, the people elected John Silver president. He picked his prime minister, or vice president, and the people elected Congress. Then, Silver become Emperor and disbanded Congress, making himself supreme ruler. Luckily for the people, the rebels overthrew the Imperials and the current communist government was formed.
Head of State
From 2051 to the Imperial Revolution, head of state was the President, who, for that time, was John Silver. The second-in-command was the Prime Minister.
During the Imperial rule, Emperor Silver was head of state and the only law. With the disbandment of Congress, he has complete power over the Weinstons.
From 2053, the year of the Battle of Weinston City, to today, head of state is the Premier, who has been Kurdt Kobain from 2053 to today. There was no second-in-command from 2053 to the Election of 2054, but since the Election of 2054, second-in-command is the Sub-Premier, who is currently Ian Grant.
The election of Premier has occured twice, once in 2053 after the revolution and again in 2054 for the first formal election. Both times Kurdt Kobain won. The Premier's term lasts 3 years and is based on the popular vote. The next Premier election is in 2057.
The election of Sub-Premier is new. It has only occured in the 2054's Election. In the Weinersteinston system, Sub-Premier is elected as the runner-up in the Premier election, so Ian Grant, the current Sub-Premier, was runner-up in the 2054 Election. The Sub-Premier's term lasts for 3 years as well.
If Premier is unable to perform his/her duties, the Sub-Premier becomes the Acting-Premier or Premier. The next in line for Sub-Premier would be the Head of Congress. If both the Premier and Sub-Premier are unable to perform their duties, Head of Congress becomes Premier and an emergency election is held for Sub-Premier.
Congress
From 2051 to the Imperial Revolution, Congress was the body of elected people that proposed bills and passed laws, taxes, ordinances, and amendments to the Weinersteinston Constitution.
During the Imperial rule, there was no Congress, as Silver had disbanded it.
From the revolution to today, Congress has been reformed and is doing what it had done before the Imperial rule.
The official name of the Congress is the Congress of Weinersteinston (Weinston: Συνέδριο Wεινερsτεινsτον), put is usually just called the Congress (Weinston: Συνέδριο).
Election of Congress occured in 2053 and 2054, and Congressional terms last for 3 years, like Premier and Sub-Premier terms, and its elections coincide with the election of Premier/Sub-Premier.
The number of Congressional chairs depend on the population of Weinersteinston. Half of the chairs are distributed based on population to the provinces, territories, states, and districts and the other half are distributed evenly amongst the provinces, territories, states, and districts. If the half distributed evenly cannot be distributed evenly, the chairs that could not be distributed are distributed based on population. The first listed, the population house, is known as the Conpopu(Weinston: Γονποπu) and the last listed, the evenly distributed house, is known as Conevu(Weinston: Γονεβu). There are currently 200 chairs in Congress.
The Conconstu and Courhihstu
In Weinersteinston, the job of deciding if a law is constitutional or not is handled by a third branch of Congress known as the Conconstu (Weinston: Γονγονsτu). They are nominated for the position by the Premier and voted on by the Conpopu. The Conconstu also decides on making a bill passed by the Conpopu and the Conevu into a law and any other issue passed through the Conpopu and the Conevu, such as taxes, ordinances, and constitutional amendments. This process eliminates the job of a Supreme Court on judging if a law is constitutional, but the Conconstu can also repel or amend any law, tax, ordinance,or constitutional amendment by voting on whether or not to repel or amend it and then it is sent to the Premier to give an approval or disapproval. If the Conconstu still is backing the repel or amending of the issue in question after the Premier disapproves it, they can send it to Congress where a two-thirds majority is needed to override the Premier's decision. There are currently 10 chairs of the Conconstu.
The Supreme Court job of being the highest court of appeal is handled by the Courhihstu (Weinston: Γοuρχιχsτu). They are nominated by the Sub-Premier, then voted on by Conevu. There are currently 8 chairs of the Courhihstu.
