Government

Currently, the Rio Grande is run under mix of a parliamentary system and a republic, in which there is a balance similar to the real life United States Constitution regarding representation and executive power. It holds three branches, legislative, executive, and judicial.

The executive's job is to make decisions regarding foreign affairs and to pass laws submitted by the legislative. They are the commander-in-chief of the military and police forces. The Emperor holds no term and can only be removed from the throne by either resignation or massive inactivity (removal from the server). The Chancellor is appointed by the Emperor and is the the second-in-command. They hold a term of 2 months and must be reappointed when the term expires. The Emperor cannot remove the Chancellor after appointment. The Chancellor is also the head of the Senate, conducting the Senate sessions and participating in the vote.

The legislative branch is formed of a Senate similar to the real life House of Representatives in the United States. Each town is guaranteed a Senator which is the mayor by default. The mayor holds no term themselves unless they resign their position. The town also gains a seat in the Senate for every 25 citizens that join the town, which will have an elected official voted on by the town itself. The Senate is also in charge of any and all impeachments short of impeaching the Emperor.

The judicial branch is made up of Chief Court Judges, Senators who are voted into office by their fellow Senators. The Predominant Judge is the head of the judicial branch and decides which cases get hearings by the supreme court of the land, the Chief Court. They interpret national laws and the Constitution to make decisions about cases brought to them both foreign and domestic.There is no set term for a Chief Court Judge besides resignation, impeachment, or removal from the server.

Military

Currently, due to the nation being relatively new. The military mainly consists of various police forces among the towns.
