Government
As with most countries, the People's Republic has three main branches. The executive branch consists of the Cabinet, which is an unelected meritocracy. People are appointed to the Cabinet by the High Chairman. These appointments must then be confirmed by the Parliament, though in practise this is just a formality. The Cabinet is responsible for determining the direction for legislation, which is then introduced into the Parliament for ratification or rejection, though in practise legislation is rarely rejected unless it is extremely controversial.
The Shildonian Parliament is a bicameral system, which contains three main of members. The lower-chamber consists of ordinary citizens who are randomly selected from a list of all eligible citizens. They then sit for a period of one year, under theory that in order for government to be good, it must be seen to be good by the people governed by it. The upper-chamber consists of all members of the Cabinet, as well as an equal number of elected representatives.
