Chakailan: Difference between revisions

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. Despite population changes, the Basic Charter of Government included no clear provision for {{wp|reapportionment}} between the different regions.

=== Politics ===

Since its, creation the Chakailani government has been made up of two major political parties, although the various factions within the nations and these parties have switched allegiance. 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 nation's liberation, the CUF has ruled over the nation, although most observers believe the parties are relatively evenly balanced.

After the ejection of the liberal element in 2027, the Peoples Liberation front could still mainly be categorized into two main factions. The largest faction is the Militant Socialists. They don't necessarily believe that the current government as it is implemented needs to be torn down, simply that the nation must implement new socialist policies that focus on helping the people become equals, something the current government has proven totally incapable to do. 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, similar to the views of some of the more hardcore nationalists, but have shifted to a view similar to the CUF's traditionalist wing, seeking 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.
