A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats)

A merging of several smaller states into a larger Federal Republic. Struggles with conflicting regional identities, and the Federal government promoting a more unified national identity. While regional government may be working against this. Though Federal policy is above regional law.

The nations official religion, Eilini Hasoqir is prominent and one of the main unifying factors, although other forms of Hasoqir are practiced, as well as other minority religions. It should be noted that the Nation has a policy of religions tolerance. This does not stop their being widespread Ethnocentrism in regards to religious beliefs however.

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: 

There are two houses an elected lower house and un-elected upper house. 

Lower House: 
The Lower House's elected representatives are elected every three years on a parliamentary basis where they stand in their constituency and whoever wins the most votes becomes the representative for said constituency. Constituencies are based off population and vary in size if one gets too big and is therefore considered un-representative it can be divided into smaller constituencies. In this way the democratic process is preserved. Whichever party makes it past 50% of overall seats or forms a coalition forms the new government and a member of that party becomes the prime minister. Party's that only get a small percentage can choose to back a bigger party in hopes of getting them over the 50% mark or forming a stronger opposition. 

 

Upper House:

The Upper House is an un-elected house concerned with matters of the constitution, international law, and united nations conventions. The appointment system is based on national awards for service to the country. Any citizen is eligible to be nominated and the nominees are selected by a committee made up of randomly selected citizens  those who go through the committee stage are then passed onto a national vote. If you win this vote you reive a medal for services to the state as well as a reasonable amount of reward money and can accept your seat in the Upper House if you so choose.  In this manner we have a check and balance to the Government so that they do not pass any unlawful legislation. The other way to challenge this would be in the Nations  courts which are completely separated from Government. There are no political parties in the Upper House though you can voluntarily subscribe to one. However, unlike in the lower house you do not have an obligation to vote with them. In an event of the two houses not being able to agree on the passing of legislation the Lower House can override the unelected Upper House. This, however, is only meant to be used in extreme circumstances.

 

Head of State:

The Head of State is elected in an election every three years though this is one year delayed from the Governmental elections. It is a direct election and whoever gets the most votes wins. Their role is constitutional and they lead the Upper House (and may only be elected from members of the Upper House). Each party has a President and Prime Minister stand generally speaking. The President has limited executive powers as dose the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is selected from the party that won the governmental election campaign by the President pending Parliamentary approval, the Prime Minister can only be removed by Parliament though the president can use an executive power to initiate the prosses. They are the official nations Head-of-State and are commander-in-chief of the Military. In this the President has symbolic and Executive power while the Prime Minister holds most of the policy and legislative power.
