 ==Government and Politics==
 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.
+===Constitution===
+The constitution of Takatta Loa began to be drafted in 1968 and was officially inaugurated in 129945/1/18/9/7 (February 13th, 1970). Its primary author was Heauaka ueueKasaia, widely regarded as the founder of the modern day Republic and one of the Fathers and Mothers of the Nation, a selection of influential people who are honored on Constitution Day, which takes place February 13th, as helping to create Takatta Loa. It is composed of articles and unlike most constitutions it articulates the entirety of the law of Takatta Loa. As such, it is the largest constitution in the world. However, it is divided into two parts; mutable articles, which are the general laws and legislation, and the immutable laws which serve as the traditional constitution.

+# The Four Houses will have the supreme powers of government, with the ministries as their subordinates.
+# The two lower Houses of Commons and Chieftains will have the power to propose new articles, approve the cabinet of High Ministers and regulate the policies of the ministries.

+# The Twelve Katu hold all land in Takatta Loa, and may not sell it to any foreign power or non royal party. They must receive tax and retain only 2% for themselves, with the rest returning to the state.
+# The Fourteen Orders hold final and absolute authority on all religious matters, but they must not make it impossible to express a faith that is otherwise acceptable by the constitution. All foreign religions, that being religions aside from Islam or the Kapuhenasa, are to be regulated by the Orders and must receive permission to construct a religious building in the designated territory of an Order. The Orders are to levy taxes themselves, and are to keep 2% in lieu of tithes.
