The Chancellor serves as the main executive power in Chakailan, and holds power in directing the Fire-lit Hall in it's implementation of policies and regulation. It is also the Chancellor who holds the power to direct the military, as well as appointing the leadership of the army. The chancellor is elected indirectly by the members of the Fire-lit hall. The Chancellor may be replaced by a vote in the Council of Commons called by the President if they lose trust in their power to rule. | The Chancellor serves as the main executive power in Chakailan, and holds power in directing the Fire-lit Hall in it's implementation of policies and regulation.

The Fire-lit hall takes care of the actual implementation of policies and regulation for the nation. They are chosen by the President twice every term, allowing them to be replaced more often than the President themselves. | The Fire-lit hall takes care of the actual implementation of policies and regulation for the nation.

The President is the most important legislative power in the nation. Although technically they are suppose to rely on the Council of Commons for most of their legislative work, more recently they have gained far greater powers to subvert the Commons and propose new laws more directly. The President is responsible for choosing the Fire-lit Hall, who choose the Chancellor, giving the President extensive powers over the entire nation. The President is elected every 6 years in a first-past-the-post popular election. | The President is the most important legislative power in the nation.

The Council of Commons despite being somewhat subverted by the President in more recent times still holds substantial legislative powers, being able to propose and enforce the implementation of new legislation. While the President too is able to do this they require that the executive branch is cooperative, while the Council of Commons holds extensive abilities to enforce the implementations of their proposals, to a point where they can force the president to dismiss the entire Fire-lit Hall if they fail to properly implement the will of the Commons. The Council of Commons is elected by regional elections held every 3 years, with each region holding a certain number of seats. There is currently no way for the number of seats each region holds to change, despite shifts in population. | The Council of Commons despite being somewhat subverted by the President in more recent times still holds substantial legislative powers, being able to propose and enforce the implementation of new legislation.

These are often simply called the 'left' and the 'right', the 'reds' and the 'whites' with many other nicknames. Officially the parties are called "Peoples Liberation Party", or PLP, and the "Chakailani Unified Front", or CUF. Since the nations liberation CUF has ruled over the nation, although the next, second ever Presidential election is looking to be extremely close. | ||

In the first election the party was opposed in part by a collection of liberal and democratic-focused groups who sided with the Peoples Liberation Party. These groups have distanced themselves from their old allies after they witnessed the left-leaning party become more and more radical in it's beliefs. Because of this they have chosen to align themselves with the CUF for the next election. Despite this shift the election is looking to be far closer than what anyone is really comfortable with. | In the first election the party was opposed in part by a collection of liberal and democratic-focused groups who sided with the Peoples Liberation Party.

In the aftermath of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] a smaller faction split off from the main rebelling group, feeling betrayed when a very Occitanian capitalistic system of government was implemented. This was not a surprise for many in the leadership though, who knew that they would always have to fight once more to truly save their people. With a combination of various militant socialist and communists as well as the help of the liberals at the time the Peoples Liberation Party was created to be the main component of the faction that claimed itself as the nations liberators. At the time the party only received a a bit over 30% of the vote. This was considered a total failure and over the course of the next 6 years the party would work hard to rebrand themselves and better gain the trust of the populace. | In the aftermath of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] a smaller faction split off from the main rebelling group, feeling betrayed when a very Occitanian capitalistic system of government was implemented.

The originally much smaller, but now quite large secondary faction within the movement is the Communists, who have successfully rebranded themselves from their originally similar views of a more totalitarian state such as the nationalists wanted to be the main representatives of restoring and modernizing the old traditional communities of the nation, bringing power to local communal councils and heavily decentralizing the nation to become much more focused on the various outlying villages and other rural societies. | The originally much smaller, but now quite large secondary faction within the movement is the Communists, who have successfully rebranded themselves from their originally similar views of a more totalitarian state such as the nationalists wanted to be the main representatives of restoring and modernizing the old traditional communities of the nation, bringing power to local communal councils and heavily decentralizing the nation to become much more focused on the various outlying villages and other rural societies. | ||
