Since the founding of the republic, the dominant political current in Capetian politics has been [[Restarkism]] - support for Melvyn Kalma’s reforms. Restarkism today is manifest as support for a {{wp|nationalist}} {{wp|democracy}} with a {{wp|secular}} constitution and an Occidental, {{wp|liberal}} culture. It remains enshrined as the country's constitutional {{wp|ideology|guiding ideology}}. It likewise serves as the guiding ideology of Kalma's own [[Republican Nationalist Party]].
Since the founding of the republic, the dominant political current in Capetian politics has been [[Restarkism]] - support for Melvyn Kalma’s reforms. It is enshrined as the country's constitutional {{wp|ideology|guiding ideology}}, and the guiding ideology of Kalma's own [[Republican Nationalist Party]].  


Owing to the turmoil of the [[Capetian War of Independence|War of Independence]] and [[the Reclamation]], Restarkism posits a stepped plan for the implementation of {{wp|constitutional democracy}}. The "first stage of national construction", a one-party state led by the RNP, took place between 1951 and 1994. The second stage, [[Planoarita politics|''Planoarita'' politics]] politics, where the RNP leads a {{wp|guided democracy}}, is currently in place. The final stage, constitutional politics, or full {{wp|liberal democracy}}, remains promised.  
Restarkism today is manifest as support for a {{wp|nationalist}} {{wp|democracy}} with a {{wp|secular}} constitution and an Occidental, {{wp|liberal}} culture. It posits a phased plan for the implementation of {{wp|constitutional democracy}}. The "first stage of national construction", a one-party state led by the RNP, took place between 1951 and 1994. The second stage, [[Planoarita politics|''Planoarita'' politics]], where the RNP leads a {{wp|guided democracy}}, is currently in place. The final stage, constitutional politics, or full {{wp|liberal democracy}}, remains promised. Restarkism's Occidentalist and autocratic aims have found themselves opposed throughout history by [[Longhouseism]] (also known as Confederationism), an anti-Occidental ideology that manifests itself as support for a traditional, decentralized, and local system of democratic governance that models the former [[Cahok Confederation]]. Even with the loosened measures of ''Planoarita'' politics, the Longhouseist movement remains repressed and "out-of-system", with little political representation granted to it.


Since the institution of ''Planoarita'' politics, third parties (the most prominent being the [[Kadets (the Cape)|Constitutional Democrats]]) have been legalized, {{wp|freedom of speech}} restrictions eased, and free elections introduced. Since 2016, the guaranteed RNP seats that once comprised up to a third of the National Stanera have been replaced with seats elected through universal suffrage - shifting the party's constitutional domination of the political sphere to becoming more ''de-jure'' than ''de-facto''.  
Although free elections have shaped the Capetian political scene for 30 years, involvement within the RNP remains the main form of political participation. In the past 20 years, the party has become divided between multiple [[Republican Nationalist Party|caucuses]] across the political spectrum. These caucuses have become ''de-facto'' parties, with the pre-election RNP open primaries considered by many as the ''de-facto'' national election.


However, involvement within the RNP still remains the main form of political participation. In the past 20 years, the party has become divided between multiple [[Republican Nationalist Party|caucuses]] across the political spectrum. Citizens vote in open and free primaries for which caucus candidate will represent the RNP in that year's Stanera election. This RNP primary is considered by many as the ''de-facto'' national election.
===Law===
===Law===
The supreme law of the Cape is the 1951 Constitution, which establishes a {{wp|federal republic}}. Its inviolable Fundamental Statutes guarantee rights and freedoms for the ''Planoarita'' period - namely the freedoms of thought, speech, assembly, and association - which any government cannot override or amend. However, a notwithstanding clause (derogatory clause) allows the Supreme National Assembly to unilaterally suspend certain sections of the constitution for up to 6 months.

Since the introduction of republican politics, the Cape's international relations have been based on the 16th Amendment of the Federal Constitution: establishing {{wp|self-determination}}, diplomacy, and cooperation as the fundamental principles on how the Capetian state should interact with other countries and organizations. According to the Constitution, the President of the Federacy acts as the nation’s chief diplomat with broad powers to determine foreign policy objectives, although the task commonly falls to the Prime Executive.

The Cape’s formerly belligerent and ideological foreign policy has softened since the 2000s, although elements of it remain; the country shares tense or lacks formal diplomatic relations with a handful of ideologically opposed [[League of Nations]] member states. Contemporary Capetian foreign policy is based heavily on the principle of {{wp|multilateralism}} - it is a founding member of the [[Southern Crona Conference]] and the informal [[League of the Free Republics]]. The nation seeks partnerships with fellow [[Crona]]n, [[Coscivian]], and {{wp|Gaelic}} countries; it participated alongside them in the [[Final War of the Deluge]].

In 2014 and 2017, the Supreme Tribunal struck down and dissolved political parties that violated ''Planoarita'' measures, with the Constitutional Court doing the same in 2016 and 2022 against groups that violated the Constitution’s Restarkist provisions of state {{wp|secularism}}. In 2021, the Cape Armed Forces carried out a {{wp|coup d'état}} against an unpopular presidential coup against the established political system. Throughout, the [[Commission for the Preservation of the Republic|security services]]-dominated {{wp|deep state}}, colloquially referred to as the [[Republican Guard]], has continually remained active in defense of the status quo.
