Olmeria: Difference between revisions

Olmeria is a Unicameral Democratic Republic, divided into the executive [[Council of Chiefs]] (presided over by the [[President of Olmeria]]), and legislative body [[The People's Senate]]. The nation is split into 200 Multi-Member Constituencies which elect representatives according to the STV voting system. Olmeria also has 82 [[Administrative Districts of Olmeria|administrative districts]] managed by regional and local councils, in addition to 4 metropolitan zones. General elections are held after every set 4 year term to elect the Senate and President, while local elections are held annually (excluding General Election years) with 1/3 of councillors up for election each time.

While the president can be deemed the highest power in the state, in accordance with the [[2nd Olmerian Constitution]] the power of the President is fully accountable to veto by the Council of Chiefs and People's Senate by a series of constitutional safeguards. Any one President is limited to a maximum of four consecutive terms in office and a total of 6 in their lifetime.   

Local government in Olmeria is organised into two tiers. Upper tier authorities consist of regional boards presiding over the the nations 16 official provinces, usually encompassing a substantial area, and metropolitan councils presiding over the nations 4 designated metropolitan zones. These authorities hold responsibility for enacting government initiatives, allocating money for larger spending projects, and managing province wide networks such as high speed rail links. Lower tier authorities sit underneath their relevant upper tier authority, and consist of district councils presiding over much smaller local municipalities. These authorities are responsible for more menial management of local affairs such as road maintenance and local public transport. Local government below these two tiers, such as borough, town and village councils, are not considered part of the national government structure and as such are named "[[Sub-state Authorities (Olmeria)|sub-state authorities]]".

These districts are run by elected councillors, or regional representatives (shorthand: regional reps) in the case of regional boards, and metropolitan councillors in the case of metropolitan councils.
