Arakarian government was changed many times in past. Here's chronological changes of systems:
+
'''Government Type:''' compassionate president monarchy<br>
−
* '''Despotism''' - this system was lasting quite long (4000 BC - 200 AD) with ocassionaly switching to Republic for a short time.
+
'''Head-of-State Formal Title:''' Elect<br>
−
* '''Republic''' - republican government was established when despots were losing their influence to the Merchants' Council in 600 BC and lasted for 200 years until corrupted government was overthrown by General Ristofan the Blackberry.<br>
+
'''Governing Body:''' National Council of Arakarian People<br>
−
* '''Monarchy''' - elements of this system are still quite present. Around 200 AD Arakarian despot Erythianos the Stromeye has received Pope's blessing and was coronated. System switched from despotism to feudalism for over 1000 years. Today the Blessed Elect is also a landlord with his own, private areas of land. Religion & Spirituality are very important for Arakarians and leader is viewed as God's chosen to rule the nation - elected by the People or not - until present times.<br>
+
'''Country Data Code:''' AK (internet: .ak)<br>
−
* '''Socialism''' - in 1823 current oppressive King Gabriel the Cruel was overthrown when socialists has made a deal with the Army. For over 30 years socialists and syndicalists where forcing their ideas in the People's Council until the Arakarian Army forced an elections for first, democratic government.<br>
+
'''Currency Code:''' PJ (Planar Jink)<br>
−
* '''Democracy''' - this system has a long tradition. The People's Council was created by Lord Alex Deleonor to consult his decisions with the People in 1251. But until 1856 it wasn't main governing body. On May Day - which is also a Labour Day - socialists and syndicalists formed a Coalition of Labour (CL) and started open, free, democratic elections for the first time in Arakarian history.<br>
+
'''Administrative Divisions:''' 15 provinces (devided into counties) and 1 Royal Estate<br>
 +
'''Voting:''' Compulsory<br>
 
<br>

Today Arakarian government is a mix of democracy, monarchy and socialism. Military coup that ended socialists monopoly never meant to destroy dreams about equal society. Army rebels also restored Monarch (called Blessed Elect) as official head of state - originating from original dynasty. Recently Blessed Elect recieved full power but People's Council is still operational and its advices are still highly regarded by sole ruler that want to soften socialist laws and introduce economic development.
