Failegn City Council
This article refers to the capital city of Niploma
Introduction
Failegn City Council is the elected representative council of Failegn. It seats 22 members or representatives and is headed by the Mayor of Failegn.
Represenatives are elected in a proportional represenation system from 22 'constituencies'. Each constituent has two votes, a first and second choice. The first vote (your preffered choice) is worth two 'points' and your second (your second choice) is worth one. Constituents can vote using both, one (either their first vote or second) or not vote at all. Representatives are elected every two years to the Council.
The Mayor acts as the head of Failegn. He runs both the council and the city as a whole.
Prior to fulfilling any of his wishes for the city he must put his ideas towards the City Council. These ideas are put into ink and become a 'Failegn City Bill'. A Bill must be signed by the Prime Minister before it becomes Failegn law. The PM can refuse to sign if he/ she deems it unsuitable. For example it may give Failegn too much power or freedom compared to the rest of Niploma. However, no PM as of yet has declined to sign any Failegn City Bill.
The Mayor is elected at least every four years. The current Mayor is Mayor David Regan from the Libertarian Reform Party.
