Government:
The predecessor state of the Fictian Empire featured an absolute monarchy, in which an Emperor ruled the entire state indisputably and appointed governors to rule the provinces. After Michael Basileus's coup, however, a seemingly more democratic state emerged. The position of Emperor was kept as head of state, currently held by George IV, but the holder of that position is politically powerless.

On the other hand, elections are held once every two years in all provinces for both a President, a supreme head of government with the practical power the Emperor once had, and members of the Senate, which basically ratifies the President's decisions. Ideally, the Senate should be composed of members from all political parties, but intriguingly the two elections held to date have both elected Michael Basileus as President and members of the Basilean Governance Party, a puppet group of his supporters, as Senators unanimously. This has attracted suspicion that Michael is rigging the elections and becoming a dictator.
