Ideology and Regime Structure

Regime Structure

Amuria is a growing, forward thinking, diverse country. While it is founded on a capitalist framework the country has fostered and adapted to a modernizing and ever-changing world with a massive focus on growing vast social programs and complete civic involvement with free and fair elections. The Amuria frame of government is often called the Nordic Model. Amuria political structure is comprised of an elected President, 100 member Parliament, a supreme court with 10 panel court judges, and a Prime Minister who is elected by the President. The President is elected every 5 years, unless elected to serve an extension term of 3 years, after serving either 5, or 8 years that President is no longer able to serve in any form of national, or local government. Parliament holds regional elections, there are a total of 20 regions, and each must elect 5 total representatives. Parliament members are only eligible for 2 four-year terms. After representatives have served, they are barred from ever holding political office again. While this move may be controversial it ensures consistent need for change and progression to continue to achieve public support. This form of elections ensures each region is represented regardless of size. Since Amuria is a diversified country and has multiple political parties within the government this allows for the most representation of backgrounds and ideas. While they are technically multi-partied but no one political party ever has control for long.

These different sections of Amuria’s political structure make up the three separate branches of government. Modeled after other modern western countries the Executive and Prime Minister make up the Executive Branch. The executive branch is primarily ceremonial however they still see to foreign affairs and reside over the armed forces though the decision for war, or peace must be a majority determining vote by Parliament. The Judicial Branch is comprised of the Supreme Court made up of 10 Panel Court judges nominated and confirmed by Parliament they are responsible for interpretation of lower court legal decisions and guiding the legislative branch on the creation of new laws. Lastly, the Legislative branch comprised of the regionally elected 100 members are responsible for law creation, constitution alteration, declarations of peace and war, and ensuring a peaceful transference of power post-elections. The three branches are all controlled by the founding constitutional documents that dictate governmental structure, elections, rights, and various other requirements as living breathing legal contract between the government and its people.

The three branches of government allow for a separation of powers with ample checks and balances. The legislative branch gets to write the laws while being the most direct representation of each region. The Government ensures that to pay for all the massive social programs the country has there is a strong focus on foreign trade and while government has not necessarily seized the means of production from the companies that produce the largest export of the country, they heavily enforce taxes on these companies’ profit. Even though the country is diverse with different ideas on how to run the country all parties agree to the guaranteed social programs outlined in the constitution. Constitutional rights for all people to receive these social benefits instead of them being seen as niceties. The people of Amuria have a foundational belief on equality for everyone in everything that it does, this is seen throughout its decision making both nationally and abroad. With a robust science industry focused on education and betterment of the environment for all citizens of the world. Amuria has 4 modern nuclear power plants that provides more sustainable, cleaner energy throughout the country and intends to build more. The Parliment has passed laws recently to move away from damaging energy sources. The three branches ensures that the scientific, manufacturing industry, and all corporations with an environmental footprint create policies that are beneficial for the environment, climate, and world. While Amuria has a public disgust for war seeing at as a relic of the past caused by inequality and ignorance; the military and people of Amuria are ready to defend the country their allies, and the principles they believe in. War should be a last-ditch effort when all diplomacy and other options have failed, therefore it is not with one person, or one class to determine when and where the country decides to go to war. Parliament must have a majority vote in order to commit to war or preform any military actions outside the country.

The Constitution outlining the rights of all citizens, and how the government is to be structured leaves very little room for false interpretation of these rights. The distinct representation of all regions and the entire structure of the Government body are designed to facilitate the modern ideology of Amuria. Foreign Policy is dedicated to ensuring strong relationships with other free nations, and the country’s vast military might be built and ready yet contained to only last resort conflicts. All of this is a culmination of a people who are diverse and want to ensure freedom for all, strong social safeguards, and an advanced society who his making genuine forward-thinking choices for the world, and future generations.
