Government
The Theocracy of Holy Sheep is a non-denominational democracy, who only holds onto the name "Theocracy" for historic reasons. The Theocracy of Holy Sheep is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 1.8 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. The Autonomous Holy District is a self-governing portion of the Theocracy that opposed the shift to democracy, and thus seperated to avoid conflict.
The Head of State is The Divine Emperor, currently Nikolai Paladin.
Politics
Currently striving to revive the stricken economy while maintaining the ludicrous tax rates, the government strives to keep the populace happy and free. Each historical Province has its own government – or not, as it chooses – but has no effect on federal politics. The land is divided up into fiefs of one million people; each fief has one seat and one vote in the Holy Council. Should there be a tie, the populations of each fief on each side are added up, and the one with more people wins, unless it is within four million people, then a referendum is held. Of course, most of the time seat-holders agree to pass the motion in return for another favour. Seat-holders are not required to vote along any lines, as political parties are barred, each person running as independent. After an election for Seat-Holders, another election is held for the Divine Emperor and his cabinet, and this election has nothing to do with the fief system. This is done to prevent the problems of political parties, which causes people to often choose between good politics or good representation.
