Capital Praetor is a predominantly capitalist-oriented nation. Dominating the banking world of Eastern Europe, it obviously holds extreme wealth in it's corporate and trading enterprises. However, there is a strong liberal backbone in Capital Praetor. Civil rights and political freedoms are most respectable, however there is an ongoing struggle for recognition of certain ugly aspects of Praetorian society. An ongoing problem for Praliament is the lack of any healthcare system. Even after the staggering Rioli's Flu outbreak, no healthcare system has been put into place. This is only one of Capital Praetor's unsightly blemishes upon it's history. | Capital Praetor is a predominantly capitalist-oriented nation.

Politics Of Capital Praetor
Capital Praetor operates on the doctrine of democracy. The national leader, the President, is elected by a majority in the House of Commons. The Chancellor is brought into power under the campaign of the President. The President affiliates himself with international and foreign going-ons, while the Chancellor takes care of the trivial and widespread internal situations in Capital Praetor. The President and the Chancellor maintain the most power in Capital Praetor, with the head generals and strategists of CPAF maintaining secondary power. Originally, the Banking Clan maintained ultimate jurisdiction over matters in Capital Praetor, however, ongoing debate and recent legislature have kept the Banking Clan on an unsturdy pedestal. Recent legislation, which barely passed a vote in both the Senate and the House, eliminated the heirarchical powers of the Banking Clan. However, bureaucratic process still legislates that laws must be passed through the members of the Banking Clan. Torrid and furious debate has encompassed nearly every Senate and House of Commons sessions.
The Parliament, or House of Commons, holds 465 representatives. Recently, there was a Corporate Parliament, opposite the now extinct Naitonal Parliament. The Corporate Parliament, which was established a few years after the "Corporate Military Contract Bill" (or the "Certificate Of Protection To Be Provided By The Trader's Guild", as it was termed 300 years ago upon its creation), held 232 representatives. However, recent reforms have abolished the Corporate Parliament. The Senate holds 465 Senators, with the Vice-President residing as head of the Senate. If the House and the Senate both agree on a bill, then it is passed. However, if one disagrees, then a second vote on the bill is held. If there are still disagreements, then a third motion will occur. If three motions do not pass a bill, then either the Supreme Court or the President himself will evaluate the situation. At present, this duty has alternated between the President and the Supreme Court.
Capital Praetor is a predominantly capitalist-oriented nation. Dominating the banking world of Eastern Europe, it obviously holds extreme wealth in it's corporate and trading enterprises. However, there is a strong liberal backbone in Capital Praetor. Civil rights and political freedoms are most respectable, however there is an ongoing struggle for recognition of certain ugly aspects of Praetorian society. An ongoing problem for Praliament is the lack of any healthcare system. Even after the staggering Rioli's Flu outbreak, no healthcare system has been put into place. This is only one of Capital Praetor's unsightly blemishes upon it's history.
Political Parties
The Praetorian Conservative Relief Party - Centers it's campaigning around the greater implementation of foreign imports, as in the past. Seeks to bring back the old socialist reforms of the 1930's to Capital Praetor. Considers itself to be a 'relief' from the current ruling government for all Praetorians. It also seeks to eliminate the Banking Clan entirely, and to more intensely confine the interest rate levels for banks. The PCRP realizes the cultural, social, economical, and political importance that Capital Praetor's banking career holds, and therefor, wishes to maintain it's banking 'empire'.
CPAF
CPAF, or Capital Praetor Air Force, is the main arm of Capital Praetor's defensive and offensive forces. CPAF maintains control over the Praetor Guard and the Capital Praetor Navy. CPAF orchestrates the armed forces of Capital Praetor, and is the first response to any threat in relation to Capital Praetor. CPAF utilizes over 15,000 single-seat jet fighters, over 2000 jet bombers, and over 5000 rotary aircraft. An estimated 13 trillion Eastern Euros is spent on CPAF alone, with the remaining budget filering down to Praetor Guard and CPN budgets.
There are over 650 active aircraft squadrons in CPAF, with well over 100 more in reserve and on rotational duty. Duty in CPAF, CPN, or PG is compulsory as soon as the Praetorian turns 16. After the Praetorian turns 16, 4 years of mandatory duty must be served. Failure to do so before the Praetorian turns 50 can result in a criminal record. 30% of Praetorians are actively involved in CPAF, and another 25% maintain a 4 year rotational duty. This means that every 4 years, the Praetorian will return to his CPAF squadron for 4 years of duty. This carries on until the Praetorian reaches the age of 52. After this, the Praetorian may enter elective retirement, where the Praetorian can choose to retire with full honours, short of a Praetorian Life Time Achievement Award, or may continue active military service for another 4 years. If the Praetorian chooses to continue his military service, he will complete it at the age of 60, where he will be honourably retired from the military with a Praetorian Life Time Achievement Award. Following this principle, the Praetorian will serve in CPAF a total of 4 to 5 times; if rotational duty is contracted.
