The Government of TRUTH

The government of TRUTH will be a communist democracy that will consist of three tiers of power, all of which originally come from the people. The first tier, or The Assembly of the People, is a collection of all citizens residing in one of the 50 Districts of TRUTH over the age of eighteen who wish to participate in government. The assembly convenes once every three months regularly, where anyone with a proposal can make themselves heard, or immediately in times of crisis. The Assembly of the People for each district can only make decisions concerning their district, and none which go against the main law body of TRUTH. The second tier, or The Body of Inspiration, is a group of 200 elected legislators over the age of 25, four from each district, who originate ideas for laws with the help of The Assemblies of the People and those above them. If a law or bill receives a two thirds majority vote by the members of The Body of Inspiration, then it is taken up to the Trigovern Council, which consists of three elected leaders in charge of overseeing actions of The Assemblies of the People and The Body of Inspiration, as well as enforcing national policy, passing or vetoing laws put forth by The Body of Inspiration and making day-to-day decisions. In the event of a disagreement between all three Trigovernors, or in a time of national crisis, the Head Trigovernor, who was previously elected by the people, is allowed to make the decision. Every three years there is a rotation within the Trigovern Council, and one Trigovernor is retired and replaced by a newly elected sucessor. To chose this sucsessor, two senior members of the Body of Inspiration are nominated and voted on by their peers, then and a general election between the two is held. There is no campaigning allowed beyond the publishing of each candidate's platform and several mandatory debates. TRUTH is an entirely liberal and moderate nation, so no separate political parties are necessary.
