Federal Government: The government of the Federation of Kedalfax is a centrist democracy. The president has almost no power. His job is mostly to be a figure head for the government. All laws are voted on by two seperate but equal organizations known as Congress and Senate. In Congress, there are two representatives for each province. They are elected once every four years. In the Senate, there is one representative for every million citizens in a province. Each province must have at least two representatives. However, since no province has ever had less than three million residents, this is just a safeguard. Senators are elected once every four years. For a law to pass, it must gain the majority in Congress, and then be passed on to Senate, and get the majority there. If it fails to get the Senate majority, it is passed back to Congress, where 4/5 must agree. If it passes, it will go back to the Senate, where it must get at least 1/3 of the votes. Then it is passed to the president, who can veto it. If he does, it will go back to the senate, and will need 1/6 of the votes. If it gets through all of this process, it goes to one last step. If it is a law regarding civil or political freedoms, it goes on the ballot in the next election. It must gain the popular vote here to pass. If it is not, it will pass without going to citizen vote. If someone is to break a state law, the matter will go before local court.

The Federal Supreme Court decides on all lawsuits against the government. It has 7 judges, who vote as to what the verdict shall be. Judges may not stop a law from being passed, unless it goes to citizen election, in which case they have the exact same amount of power as everyone else. They can, however, decide that a law is unconstitutional, but only if a citizen brings it up in a case against the government. Should they decide the law is not valid, it shall be repealed and all people held under that law will be released. The decisions of the court may be contested four years after they are passed. Decisions of the court may be contested as many times as nececcary.

Elections are staggered so that the President is elected in a year divisable by 4, Senators and Congressmen are elected the next year. The year after that is Provincial elections (Governor, Provincial Senate, etc.) and the year after that is local elections (D.A., Mayor, etc.). No officer of the government is allowed to spend more than 2 election cycles or 10 years in office.

Provincial Government All provinces have a Provincial Senate and a Governor. To pass, a law must pass the senate and then be sent to the governor. If he vetos it, it will go to popular vote; if not, it will pass. Budget votes must be approved by half the senate to pass. If someone is to break a state law, the matter will go before local court.

Local government In most citys and towns, a mayor will be the one through whom new laws will pass. He may also decide on local taxes, local budgets, and ususaly has a very large influence on city planning.

Justice "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two seperate yet equally important groups; the police who investigate crimes, and the district attornies who prosecute the offenders." District attornies are elected every four years. He/she will run along with an Executive Asistant District Attorny. The EADA will hire as many Assistant District Attornies as is nececcary. The ADAs will prosecute criminals. If nececcary, the EADA and ADA may assist in the prosecution.

Law Enforcement Each town is allowed to have it's own police department. In large cities, an internal affairs department will usually be included. In towns where this can not be afforded, the Department of National Policing will step in. They will also step in to provide funding for police forces when nececcary. Provinces also have their own police departments. these are used mostly for speed traps on large highways and water patrols. The Kedalfax Guard Beauro, or KGB, is the Federal Government's police force. they act only in matters of national importance, such as mass murder and terrorism. The also are the group responsible for not(wink) spying on other countries.
