The Truidencian political system is defined by its use of both authoritarianism, in service of efficiency, and democracy, in service of the common good. The Emperor of Imperial Truidence has complete executive power, but can be overruled by a 80% majority in the national parliament (known as The Commons). Similarly, the parliament can enact laws and elect executive officials, but can be overruled by the Emperor as long as there is less than 80% consensus for the given matter.
The Truidencian political system is charecterised by its use of both authoritarianism, in service of efficiency, and democracy, in service of the common good. Two entities have legislative power: the Parliament of Imperial Truidence and the Emperor. The Parliament may be overruled by the Emperor.


There are also three judges. One is chosen by the Emperor, on is chosen by the the Commons and one is chosen by election.


Originaly, the Parliament and the Emperor could overrule eachother, with the Parliament gaining a final say if they reached a consensus of 80% of the votes within the Parliament. The idea was that in most cases, the permanent leader would be better suited to decide in precaurious matters than senators whos position of power would rely upon public opinion. But, if 80% of the population, through their representatives, were to agree on an action to take, it would most likely be the right one.
After Bez abdicated, three minister positions were created, to lessen the burden on the head of state's shoulders. these are elected by the senate, but have to be approved by the Emperor or PC. The positions are for life.


This system was changed to the current one however, for two chief reasons:

1. The uncertainty of who would get the final say discourged both parties from proposing changes, policies etc.

2. The Parliament was inactive for long periods of time, leaving a bigger workload for the Emperor and his representatives.


As such the system took the form described in the first paragraph; with the addition of ministerial positions.

These positions are Chancellor(currently Smarties), Field Marshal(currently ObtainableSpatula) and Chief Diplomat(currently ObtainableSpatula).


There are also three judges. One is chosen by the Emperor, one is chosen by the the Commons and one is chosen by election.
