Government System[edit | edit source]

The Monsoran Republic is a unitary semi-presidential republic with strong democratic traditions. The constitution of the Third Republic was approved by referendum on 08 March 19XX. It greatly strengthened the authority of the executive in relation to parliament. The executive branch itself has two leaders: the President, currently Licia Sicardi, who is head of state and is elected directly by universal adult suffrage for a 5-year term, and the Government, led by the president-appointed Prime Minister, currently Bellina Mainardi.

The Monsoran Parliament is a bicameral legislature comprising a National Assembly and a Senate. The National Assembly deputies represent local constituencies and are elected for 4-year terms. The Assembly has the power to dismiss the cabinet, and thus the majority in the Assembly determines the choice of government. Senators are elected for 5-year terms. Both elections use the Mixed Member Proportional System.

Foreign Relations[edit | edit source]

Monsora is a member of the Adonian Community, the XXX Alliance, E10, E15, the Organization of XXX, the World Trade Organization, and a member of the Republic Economic Union. It tries to maintain good relations with its neighbors and tries to seek trading and travel agreements while preserving their culture.

Monsora also maintains strong political and economic influence on its former colonies, aiding those countries with humanitarian aid including infrastructure, healthcare, and education.

Law[edit | edit source]

Monsora uses a civil legal system; that is, law arises primarily from written statutes; judges are not to make law, but merely to interpret it (though the amount of judicial interpretation in certain areas makes it equivalent to case law). According to the constitution, law should only prohibit actions detrimental to society.

Monsoran law is divided into two principal areas: private law and public law. Private law includes, in particular, civil law and criminal law. Public law includes, in particular, administrative law and constitutional law. However, in practical terms, Monsoran law comprises three principal areas of law: civil law, criminal law, and administrative law. Criminal laws can only address the future and not the past. While administrative law is often a subcategory of civil law in many countries, it is completely separated in Monsora and each body of law is headed by a specific supreme court: ordinary courts (which handle criminal and civil litigation) are headed by the Corte ëd Cassazione and administrative courts are headed by the Cunsej ëd Stat.

Military[edit | edit source]

The Monsoran Armed Forces (“Esèrcit Monsoran”) are the military and paramilitary forces of Monsora, under the Monsora as supreme commander. They consist of the Monsoran Army (“Esèrcit Nassiunal”), the Monsoran Air Force (“Aria Forsa Nassiunal”) and the auxiliary paramilitary force, the National Public Protection Unit (“Ünità Nassiunal per là Protessiun Püblic”) and are among the largest armed forces in the world. While administratively a part of the Monsoran armed forces, and therefore under the purview of the Ministry of Defence, the UNPP is operationally attached to the Ministry of the Interior.

The UNPP is a military police force which serves for the most part as a rural and general purpose police force including domestic attacks.
