Oyashima is governed by the Constitution of 1992, which inaugurated the period of {{wp|constitutional monarchy}} under the leadership of the ''Omo no Ryōshu'' (Aenglish: Lord of Lords). | |||
===Executive=== | |||
The roles of head of state and head of government are consolidated in the position of the ''Omo no Ryōshu'', who acts as Speaker for the Assembly and chief executive. The Ryōshu's power is checked by the Assembly of Lords, and the budget is primarily decided by the Assembly. | |||
===Assembly=== | |||
The Assembly of Lords is a unicameral legislature of 147 representatives elected by local direct first past the post elections; administrative regions are organized partly along island lines, partly along clan lines, and partly along municipal lines. This results in a very unbalanced spread of political power that is concentrated in seven of the eleven major islands of the nation. Terms are six years with no limit to the number of terms, and every two years, roughly a third of the legislature is put up for elections. | |||
===Political Factions=== | |||
Political allegiance in Oyashima is better reflected by faction than party, as there are 86 registered parties, the most relevant of which operate in three broad wings: the conservative, minarchist Homeland faction, the urbanite and centrist Five Islands faction, and the rural and clan-based All Isles faction. Each of these contains a fluctuating web of parties, with the Five Islands being the dominant faction and the Homeland faction being the predominant opposition. | |||
