Overview

Sicrat is a island nation, within 200-300 million people. The nation is highly polarized poltically, highly beauracratic, and highly complex. Its layout is of Suburban nature. The only metropolitan city within the country is Sicratia, its capital. The enviornment is pristine, and Sicratis have pour billions into finding ways to coexist with mother nature. Crime is never a problem is Sicrat. There is no national police force. Constable like figures are seen occaisonally, but the country is largely policed by the military, and occaisonally, the extremely shadowy but mostly benevolent Secret Police.

Goverment
The Government of Sicrat is a giant beaurocracy. It consists of one giant Parliament consisting of all major political wings (There are 6). The figure head is the Prime Minister. He has few powers, and acts mostly as a spokesperson for the Parliament. Seats are fixed. They are constantly redestributed as the percentage of the population in each wing changes. The 6 wings consist of:

Socialist
Capitalist
Fascist
Liberal
Centralist
Conservative

Throughout the history of Sicrat, the Socialist and Capitalist parties have been the overwhelming majority. The Socialist party usually has more seats than the Capitalists, but at any time it can fluctuate rapidly. Each usually has up to 35% of the population. Centralists are third in power, ironic for such a polarized nation. They usually have 10-15% of the population. The more centralized conservatives and liberals are next, with about 5% each. The fascists are last, but have seen an upsurge as of late, clocking in at about 3% of the population.

What most don't know (including members of the Parliament) is that the Military and Secret Police are not under control of the Parliament. They are special interests of their own. They are occasionally at odds with each other, but normally are working together in keeping the Parliament in check with their own agendas. The Secret Police is by far more politically powerful than the military. They usually control the Prime Minister. They also usually control 20-25% of the seats in Parliament through bribes, or threat of force. The Military is less of a player in politics. They usually only control about 10% of the seats in Parliament, although there has been a recent upsurge in their activity.
