== Politics ==
Confronted with the trauma of the defeat of the Auroran-Pacific War, Faethalrian politics have been shaped by a desire to eliminate the fascistic, militaristic, imperialistic, hyoerfeministic and dictatorial tendencies of the Ethalrian government. In October 2017, the Occupation Authority was set up by the Bursil Alliance to oversee the partition of Ethalria and the first stages of the enforcement of reparations, basic reconstruction, withdrawal of military forces and refugee management. It gave way to a Transitional Authority in November 2017, that comprised Faethalrian leaders appointed by Bursil to administer a referendum and oversee the drafting of the Constitution. Its leaders secured the country's future by representing its interests at the Auroran Reunification Summit. In January 2018, it that gave way to the Republic of Faethalria.
The primary political agenda is led by the Democratic Movement, a broad front composed of parties that subscribe to a center to left political agenda focusing on demilitarization, environmentalism, cosmopolitanism and egalitarianism. The small National Coalition represents a more Conservative approach but ventures far from the radical fundamentalist jingoistic ideas that pervaded Ethalria in its final hours. Despite concerted efforts at reeducation and reform, a small minority of totalitarian sympathisers, ethnic-purist and expansionists under the Unification Alliance remain in obscure political circuits and attract limited intrigue.
=== Government ===
The political system of Faethalria takes place in the framework of a unitary constitutional semi-presidential multi-party democratic republic. The Constitution of Faethalria, as the highest law in the land, provides for a three-branch government with checks and balances as well as the fundamental rights of citizens and organization and structure of state institutions. Passed in
At the apex of the political system is the President (currently Jane Augusta since 2017) who is elected by the public every 3 years to a maximum of two terms. As the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, she is bequeathed with the powers to veto laws (subject to an override of the Parliament), to appoint the Prime Minister (with the consent of the Parliament) as well as the Ministers who form the Cabinet (with the recommendation of the Prime Minister). Furthermore, she represents the country abroad and directs its geopolitical strategy. The day to day running of the state lies with the Cabinet and the Prime Minister. As the highest deliberative and decision-making body in the executive branch, the Cabinet administers and proposes most legislation while individual ministers control executive government departments and advise the Cabinet on policies specific to their portfolio.
