Takatta Loa: Difference between revisions

Takatta Loa is a constitutional theocracy with a semi-bicameral legislature. The divine spirit Natano is the official head of state according to the constitution, although he speaks through his human representative in the mundane realm. This means that in practice the Incarnate of the Order of Natano is the head of state, although they have largely ceremonial powers and little impact on government, with the powers of government lying in the Four Houses. The upper house is divided into the Houses of Orders and Queens, with 14 and 12 members respectively for a combined total of 26 members of the two upper houses. The lower house is divided into the Houses of Commons and Chieftains, with 500 legislators in each, for a combined total of 1,000 legislators. The upper and lower houses have divided legislative, taxation and budget setting duties, as well as divided duties for appointing the higher government officials. The actual administration of the government is done by the Ten Ministries system, whose High Ministers are elected from among and by the employees of the ministries and whose supporting cabinet of coordinators are appointed by the legislature. Government officials are selected via an internship and examination system, and are then typically promoted from within.
