Praetor: Must be a sitting member of the Grand Senate of the Republic and must have served at least one term. The Praetor is elected by the Grand Senate of the Republic for a term of 10 years. The Praetor can only serve as long as he/she is a member of the Grand Senate of the Republic.


Legislative Branch:
Grand Senate of the Republic- The Grand Senate of the Republic passes all laws. All Cabinet members must be members of the Grand Senate of the Republic, however with a 4/5ths vote a non-Grand Senate member may be appointed to the Cabinet. There is no written constitution, all "Laws of the Citizen Federation" are to be considered the Constitution of The First Republic. All heads of the "Directorates" (equivalent to a Ministry or a Department) must be elected by the Grand Senate of the Republic.


Executive Branch:
Praetor- The Praetor must give his consent before a proposal can become law. The Praetor is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Citizen Federation.

Each term is 25 years, no person may serve more than 2 terms as "High Judge and Chancellor". The Grand Senate of the Republic shall act at the High Court of the Republic in all legal cases with the High Judge and Chancellor as presiding officer instead of the Praetor.

Very nice. It seems you have been inspired by the Roman culture and civilization, at least for the names of your institutions... I think it's okay, because I am also interested in the Romans.
I wrote something like you about my own country, but I never posted it...

I've taken parts from Republican Rome, a little from Imperial Rome, as well as some other elements from several books.

Since the nation's name is The First Republic I thought I had to do something with the Romans.
