Government and politics of Sekowo

The Politics of the Federal Commonwealth of Sekowo take place in the framework of a semi-presidential, parliamentary federal commonwealth wherein Executive power is split between the C'valyi, Tennō and cabinet, the Legislative between the Senate and House that collectively make up the Folkstämma United States Congress, and an indepdendent Judiciary.

The executive branch is headed by the Tennō and is independent of the legislature. Legislative power is vested in the two chambers of the Folkstämma, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Judicial power is exercised by the Judicial branch, composed of the Federal Supreme Court, State Supreme Courts and lower federal courts. The judiciary's function is to interpret the Constitution as well as federal laws and regulations. This includes resolving disputes between the executive and legislative branches.

Executive
The Tennō of Sekowo is the Head of State and is elected by universal popular vote for a four-year term; if he or she does not secure more then half of the vote in the first round of voting then the two candidates with the most votes are put to vote in a second round. The C'valyi is the head of government of Sekowo. The C'valyi is chosen by the Tennō and aproved of by the Folkstämma. The activity of the government is directed by both the Tennō and C'valyi though to what extent either does depdens on the political situation of the time, the C'valyi oversee's the Foreign Relations of Sekowo. The C'valyi's significance and role in the government and their relations with other ministries often depend on the position of the party led by the prime minister in vis-à-vis the coalition partners. If the government is made up solely of representatives of that party, they can enjoy considerable influence. In all crucial national questions, however, the final word rests with the Folkstämma.

Legislative
The legislature or Folkstämma is comrpirsed of two chambers, the House with six-hundred members elected through open-list proportional representation and the Senate comprised of twenty-two members with two elected through majority voting from each of the eleven states.
