Lotronbian Republic

The Lotronbian Republic is a historically long-lived nation, despite its internal struggles. A history of rich-versus-clergy conflict remains to this day. The current civil war between the two sides has yet to become violent, but both sides are prepared and have split the country's land under each side's control.

Government
The government of Lotronbia has not changed much in the 373 years the Republic has been established, and the deeply entrenched sides still exist today, however altered.

Executive
The Grand President (Grand Presidente), the head of the executive branch, is directly elected by the people and presides over the cabinet and Grand Council as its speaker. The current Grand President Leunardu Orsucci, from the centre-left Party of Secessionists, was elected in a surprise election with 18.9% of the popular vote, beating out the Unionist candidate Divota Giacomi by a narrow margin of 0.4%. The Grand President may veto any bill, and that veto may be overruled by the Grand Council with a 2/3s majority vote. Vetoes have historically been uncommon in Lotronbia as it was traditionally one side or another that won the Council and the Presidency, but with Orsucci's election, as a member of a non-aligned party, the number has increased greatly.

Legislative
The unicameral Grand Council of the Republic (Grand Cunsigliu di a Republica) is made up of 250 Deputies, elected in varying ways across the national Regions. The multi-party system is split into coalitions, or sides, as the chamber of the Grand Council is in the "opposing benches" style, with a cross bench at the end for any non-main group parties. There are nine current political parties in the Grand Council, and more minor parties not seated.
