W.C.C. Political System

The W.C.C. has used three systems in it's time, shareholder, Topitalian, and Boardalian.

Board
Before the Topitalian System was the Shareholder system, giving shareholders the right to elect board members. But for a long time now until the Boardalian System, the W.C.C. used a system called Topitalian that favored the rich, giving votes mainly to the wealthy and the top companies. 1/3 to the top individuals, 1/3 to the wealthiest companies. Only 1/3 votes were held on the board by members elected by the people of the empire. Now the W.C.C. uses the Boardalian System. This system uses 45 Board Members with one Chancellor presiding over elected two thirds by the people and the remaining one third by the top companies.
 * History

The Board makes decisions based on what is brought to them by the Supreme Minister. They have the overall say on Minister elections (although the Supreme Minister chooses the nominees) and can choose the supreme minister. The Board may overrule the Ministers on a decision if they decide. The Board can make law if they choose, although often the task is left to the Legislative Minister.
 * What it does

The Chancellor is one of the 45 other board members, chosen in an election by their fellow board members. They preside over the board and can decide what issues to vote on first. Their job is to keep order in the board. Often the Chancellor chosen is fairly bipartisan.

Ministers
The Ministers rule over individual tasks, there are 12 Ministers and one Supreme Minister. Beneath the Ministers are Cardinals, then Bishops, then Archs, then the common government workers, the Semis. The Cardinals are each appointed over a particular duty, they are chosen by their respective Minister. The Ministers are nominated by the Supreme Minister and elected into office by the Board.

The Supreme Minister is the head of the Ministers. They decide what to bring to the board and act as an in-between between Board and Departments. They can decide whether or not to allow parties to form and get to nominate ministers. The other ministers act on behalf of their departments bringing things to the Supreme Minister to bring to the Board. The Supreme Minister usually belongs to a single party very heavily.
 * Supreme Minister

The department this Minister manages is the department for deciding the Constitutionality and Morality of Laws. They act similarly to the Supreme Court.
 * Minister of Morality

This Minister presides over the Senate that makes laws in the W.C.C. they are incredibly powerful although the Supreme Minister and board can overrule their decisions. The Department of Morality can declare their laws void. These laws have to go through the Department of Public Welfare, but they start the Legislative Department.
 * Legislative Minister

This minster presides over the department that makes currency and manages the wealth of the nation. Essentially the Federal Reserve and Treasury. They can advise Legislative on laws and can withhold funding, over rulable only by the Board or Department of Public Welfare.
 * Minister of the Treasury

This Ministers chooses Judges to make Court decisions.

 * Minister of War

Their department spans a wide range, collecting information, analyzing it and making strategies. They keep the Government informed, this department also does special ops.
 * Minister of Intelligence

In charge of choosing curriculum and building schools, their department teaches the children so that they blindly follow the government. Arguably the most important department.
 * Department of Education

A branch of Legislative responsible for representing the public. They can overrule the Legislative and the Treasury on behalf of the public, this minister is chosen directly by the people, the only one not chosen by the Supreme Minister or board. Also the slowest branch.
 * Minister of Public Welfare

This minister chooses ambassadors and works closely with the board on foreign policy and negotiations.
 * Minister of Foreign Affairs

Board Process
The main way of raising a motion is for the Chancellor to choose an issue, however with enough Board signatures other votes may be brought up. Replacing the Chancellor = 15, Replacing the Supreme Minister = 15, Replacing A minister = 10, Overruling a decision = 10, making a law = 5, declaring war = 15, re-directing funding = 5, nomination = 5.
 * Raising a Motion

The motion after having been constructed and raised must be debated upon for a minimum of one week, within this one week if twenty signatures are raised and the Chancellor agrees then the motion will not be taken to a vote if it does not get put down then after that time the presenting party may bring it to a vote.
 * Debate

Each style of vote requires a different amount of votes. Replacing the Chancellor = majority board nominee, replacing supreme minister = majority over 20 votes or the process continues, replacing a minister = any majority nominee, overuling a decision = majority of the board, making a law = majority of the board, declaring war = 2/3rds majority, re-directing funding = majority.
 * Voting on a motion

Political Parties
Political Parties are groups of people of a similar belief banded together in a group. Unfortunately due to lack of liberty in the W.C.C. they are only allowed to form if the Supreme Minister allows. Once formed they may not be persecuted though. Current Parties:

The Radicals in the W.C.C. they wish for a W.C.C. separated from GUE and are militarists and expansionists. They wish to be the only Party and will go to any extent to do it. Allies with the Philaseans.
 * Venturians

The ruling party, they are the least radical and wish for a large economic power and to modernize the nation, they wish to spend less on military and more on the economy and the people. Allies with the Mothrins in most matters.
 * Acclesions

The expansionists that wish to continue expansion, they commonly work with the Venturians
 * Philaseans

The party of the people, they value individual freedom and wish to see it expanded. They commonly work with the Acclesions. They are commonly seen as pacifists.
 * Mothrins

Unofficial Parties
Since the political system in the W.C.C. only allows parties if the Supreme Minister allows them there are a few parties that illegally operate.

A party for Alituria being united and then separating to restore Alituria by any means. This would mean the loss of the homeland of the W.C.C. and a great deal of wealth along with going to war with Haluria and Hummerland who are both close allies and powerful, so they are banned from existence.
 * Aliturian Restoration Party

A group of communists, as the W.C.C. is a corporation you can see why this would be a problem.
 * Universia Communist Party

Elections
Elections can occur in full, partial, or single. In a full election the Supreme Minister, Chancellor and Entire Board are up for elections, in partial it is only part of the board, in single it is either Chancellor or Supreme Minister up for election. In the case of a full election the international community gets to vote on candidates. It a partial a few close allies may choose candidates, in single it is a closed election only for those in the W.C.C. or in companies under them.

(The Boardalian System will become further complicated in 1920, with restrictions on the minsters and layers of councils to keep the ministers in check, this new system will be called Complitarian)
