Government

Main Articles: Government of Willink, Politics of Willink
Willink is a Constitutional Republic. With the current national reforms caused by the rise to power by the ACT Willink party in recent elections, the previous complex system of laws and ordinances hindering the populace and economic growth has been removed and replaced with a far more efficient system based on libertarian ideals; increased protection of civil liberties, elimination of censorship practiced by the previous political leaders, and removal of laws retaining to victitmless crimes in relation to business being amongst the new political freedoms available.

Willink has a semi-presidential system, in which both the Prime Minister and Deputy Minister share elected duties. The Prime minister is responsible for foreign policy , while the Deputy Minister is tasked with leading the executive council, which operates much akin to the cabinet of other nation's executive branches. The responsibility of forming the council falls on the Prime minister, whom must appoint politicians out of the leading political entities in the previous election.

The 150 member Parliament (Greek-Η Βουλή θα μελανώσει, literally the House of Willink) serves as the nations supreme legal legislation. The parliament has the power to alter the constitution, although this power has rarely been exercised. Besides this power, the parliament also retains the ability to override council vetoes and force the resignation of executive leaders.
