Ashavoth: May 21 - July 20

Government

Aeruillin is governed by democracy. The government is twofold: The senate, or "High Council of Aeruillin" (which has always 500 members, including the president), and the "Aeruillin State Court", which holds the jurisdictive power. Legislative power is in the hands of the Council, while the Executive is split between the President of Aeruillin (who is also the "First Speaker of the High Council"), and the Council itself.

A president's term lasts four years, but there is no limit to the number of terms a president may be re-elected (though that matter has been frequently raised by the opposition, and it may not be long before a decision concerning this is made by the council). Presidential candidates are appointed first by the parties (for reasons of cutting down on bureaucratic waste, only parties that have at least one representative in the Council may appoint a presidential candidate). After the head of the party has approved a presidential candidate, he or she must also be endorsed by at least 10% in the Council (the Council can only decide whether to endorse or reject a candidacy). This often leads to corruption as parties with a less than 10% minority of Council senators suffer the filibustering of particularly promising candidates. To cut down on this, the Council has passed a law limiting the number of rejected candidates to two; thus, a party that has proposed two rejected candidates can appoint a third, bypassing any vote in the council (which, as might be expected, does not solve the problem, but only increases the level of intrigue and plotting that goes on prior to presidential elections).

Once the parties have finally all successfully appointed their candidates, the people of Aeruillin get to vote on the position of president between these candidates. Since the Council is usually dominated by two or three large parties, and only few splinter groups, it is often a close race between only two candidates, with the other candidates being given little or no consideration.

The Council members are appointed in the middle of a presidential term. Senator candidates are appointed by the respective parties and approved by the president. Each party is allowed to choose as many senators as corresponds to their share of the popular vote, thus roughly each .2% corresponds to one senator.

All the nation's people, from the age of 16 upwards, are eligible to vote, including immigrants who have resided there for a period of 4 years.
