In Free Land of Kuldoniland, the system of government operates in this manner:

The Peoples Congress

The Peoples Congress is the legislative body of Kuldoniland, and is elected every eight years. The responsibilities of the Peoples Congress are to pass laws, declare war, and choose amongst themselves the government for the next four years.

The Executive Committee

The Executive Committee, as its name suggests is the executive branch of the government, and is responsible for the day to day running of the country. All those who are members of the executive Comittee, are elected every four years by the Peoples Congress and the Executive Committee acts as the government for four years. The powers of the Executive Comittee are to delcare martial law, and implement the laws and running of government so long as it does not break the rules of the constitution.

The Leader of the Nation

The Father of the Nation is a non-partisan office, whose holder is only focused on the national ideology of the country. The role of the Leader of the Nation, is to act as head of State, make sure the branches of government are functioning in order, and he has the power to dismiss either house. The Leader of the Nation is chosen with much scrutiny by his predecessor, and the interests of the country are his main goals. If Partisan politics, or ideological strife interfere with the running of the government then it is his role to intervene. The Leader also has control of his own branch of the Military, which ensure that his directives are carried out should there be conflicts of interest between him and the other branches of government. This military branch also has the responsibility to overthrow the Leader should he or she be making descisions contrary to the good of the country. The Leader goes by the title of President, and the office is held for life.

The different political parties are as follows:

The National Patriotic Party(A nationalist, right wing party)
The Labour Party(A social-democratic socially liberal party)
The Conservative Party(A Free Marketerring, more conservative party)
The Socialist party(A political party seeking to have pragmatic socialism, but with a conservative, patriotic, and independant social/political agenda)
The Communist Party( A traditional Marxist-Leninist party)

The polls have come in, and the majority party in the house(The Socialist Party) have been sworn in. There has been an election, and the Executive Committee have been elected, with Prime Minister Reginald McDonald leading the government. The new President who has been chosen by the previous one, shortly before his death is Elijah Tompson. The President is to be sworn in tommorrow, and the government are being sworn in at this moment.
