Boardalian System

The Boardalian System is a complicated system meant as a revision of the Topitalian System It was first developed and released in 1916. The Boardalian System was meant to keep the people from rioting and splitting the nation, the results have not yet been seen. The Boardalian system is filled with different checks and balances. The system starts at the Board, a group of 45 individuals, 30 of whom are publicly elected, the other 15 are split between top individuals and company representatives. It is currently under design.

Board 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 for the most part) 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. The Board is headed by the Chancellor.

Chancellor The Chancellor is one of the 45 board members, chosen in an election by their fellow board members. Often they are bipartisan. They preside over the board and can decide what issues are brought up for discussion although this power is overruled by special vote. Their job is to keep order in the board.

Board Process Raising a Motion 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.

Debate 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.

Voting 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.

Ministers The Ministers rule over individual tasks and are voted in by the board, 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.

Supreme Minister 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.

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

Legislative Minister 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.

Minister of the Treasury 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 Justice This Ministers chooses Judges to make Court decisions.

Minister of Manufacturing This minster controls the manufacturing of the nation, they work closely with the treasury and the department of Technology

Minister of Technology This Minister presides over the research of the nation and the development of Technology.

Minister of Defense This Minister presides over the building of defenses of the nation, they work closely with the Department of War and command the defensive forces of the nation.

Minister of War They preside over the military and choose commanders of the military. They work closely with the defense and Intelligence departments.

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

Department of Education 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.

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

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.

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.
