Politics
Eurasistan is a federal semi-presidential republic, whose political system has been laid out by publius over the years 2001-04. It has a semi-presidential system in which the chief of state, the President, is elected in a popular, universal, direct majority-runoff vote, and the head of government, the Chancellor, is elected by the lower house of Parliament. The President represents the state in international law, has supreme command over the armed forces, and The Chancellor must maintain the confidence of the lower house, but that confidence can only be withdrawn with a simultaneous election of a replacement.
The Parliament is bicameral, consisting of the Popular Assembly and the Federal Council. The Popular Assembly is elected every four years by popular vote in a complex system combining direct and proportional representation. The 60 federal state governments send three Delegates each to the Federal Council, which has equal legislative powers to the Popular Assembly, except that it cannot initiate revenue bills.
The function of head of state is performed by the Bundespräsident (Federal President), whose powers are mostly limited to ceremonial and representative duties.
The judiciary branch includes a Constitutional Court called Bundesverfassungsgericht, which may ultimately overturn all acts by the legislature or administration if they are deemed unconstitutional; as well as a Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) and several subject-specific federal courts, responsible for appeals from lower state courts. All lower courts are created by the Bundesländer.
Together with France, the united Germany is playing a leading role in the European Union. Germany is at the forefront of European states seeking to advance the creation of a more unified and capable European political, defense, and security apparatus. After having kept a notably low profile in international relations for generations, Chancellor Schröder recently also called for a permanent seat for Germany in the United Nations Security Council.
