Politics of Lovia

The Kingdom of Lovia is officially a constitutional monarchy, with most of its power centered at its legislature, the Congress. The Ruling Monarch and Prime Minister are considered to jointly be head of state, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. The executive power, solely tasked with enforcing the laws of the nation, is exercised by the federal departments, lead by secretaries that are selected from Congress. Legislative power is controlled by the Congress, which is unicameral and elected at least once per year. Judicial power belongs to the Supreme Court, which is headed by the Supreme Court Judge, appointed by Congress.

Lovia also has five states (Clymene, Kings, Oceana, Seven, and Sylvania), who elect Governors and Deputy Governors to preside over the affairs of the state. The nation is very unitary, with most power centralized at the capital, so states have very little political power, instead, they mostly deal with improving their own infrastructure, transportation, and energy, among other things, following the laws set out by Congress. Governors and Deputy Governors can also have their decisions overridden by Congress.

The political system of Lovia is a multi-party system, with several different ideology camps. Several different parties that never control more than 25% of Congress coexist. Leftism, Liberalism, and Conservatism are the main three camps, with both the Liberals and Conservatives being considered "rightist", though divided by views on social rights. The Leftist camp has been the strongest camp since the mid-term elections of 2010, although it has been in decline since late 2011. The leftists are lead by the Communist Party of Lovia (neo-marxist) and Labour Party, both approximately equal in strengh as of December 2011. The Liberal camp was the strongest camp in Spring 2010, and is on the rise going into the 2012 Federal Elections, surpassing the leftists. The liberals are lead by Positive Lovia, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Progressive Conservative Party, with Positive Lovia considered to be the strongest. The Rightist camp has never lead, but had a clear peak in early 2011 where it captured the PMship, declining by summer 2011, but never seriously weakening after that. The rightists are lead by the Conservative Christian Party of Lovia and Union of National Solidarists, with the CCPL being considered the strongest. Another strong party is the Conservative Nationalist Party, which lies between the rightist and liberal camps. There are also several other minor parties.
