Welchian oligarchy is a system of government devised by Charles Welch, the founder of modern Liberstine. It combines elements of democracy and plutocracy in order to balance the demands of the general public with the health of the economy.
Implementation
[edit]The federal government is composed of four cơ quan:
- Parliament: The unicameral legislature makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, and has the power of the purse. It also appoints ministers of federal ministries and leaders to the Liberstinian Central Bank, as well as the President, who must be a sitting member of parliament.
- Executive: The President, who is elected as a member of the Parliament, is the commander-in-chief of the military, appoints justices to the Uber Court, and can veto many spending bills before they become law. They are typically the leader of the party with a parliamentary majority.
- Board of Councillors: The Board that comprises the ten richest people in the country by net worth presides over the Ministry of Elections, deciding voting guidelines and which political parties are eligible to run at the national level. The Board may also overturn a parliamentary declaration of war by a supermajority vote.
- Judicial: The 5-member Uber Court and lower national courts, whose judges are appointed by the President with parliamentary approval, interpret laws and overturn those they find unconstitutional.
The Parliament has 500 voting members, each representing a parliamentary constituency for a five-year term. Constituencies are apportioned by the Ministry of Demographics by population every fifth year. The next election will be held on 19 February 2020.
