Oh, so its a democracy that doesnt have political parties and is based mostly on popular opinion.

I was thinking that it was a nation that takes a politically neutral path ideology-wise.

Well, given that my nation is NOT a democracy, there is no way I can fall into that category.

Not so much, we have a half dozen highly seperated political parties.

Anything's better than a bipartisan political straitjacket.

The Catalasian Commonwealth is sort of non-partisan.... there are no specific political parties, and a longstanding tradition bans officials running for public office from advertising or receiving public donations. Then again, given that one of the two major divisions of the government is unelected, voting is compulsory, and the number of candidates that can run for any given position is limited, it's more like an oligarchy than a democracy in the first place.

The Republic of One World Alliance is a proud, strong democracy that can most certainly be classified as nonpartisan.

Though political parties are not as of yet officially banned, the majority of citizens frown upon them, thus politicians are very careful to distance themselves from such.


Though campaigning is a common practice within the Republic, private industries and corporations are not allowed to donate money to politicians.


It has made the Republic more pure in its purpose to serve the people.
