Government
On this Page:
The Republic of Soundland is a presidential republic, divided into three branches of government: an executive, a unicameral legislature, and a judiciary. This structure is set out under the 2023 Constitution.
Soundland is made up of several territories in the Puget Sound, governed as a unitary state due to the nation's small size. This means most political power in Soundland is reserved for the national government, and our citizens consider themselves Soundlandians more than they do citizens of any territorial state, who hold limited autonomy depending on population
​
Soundland's Constitution lays out the structure of the Republic and the rights of citizens. It was ratified in 2023, replacing the original and by-then outdated constitution. All those over the age of 12 in Soundland can vote online using Rank-Choice Voting (RCV) in yearly elections.
The Legislative Branch consists of the National Senate, whose four seats are elected at-large every year.
​
The National Senate passes laws, confirms presidential appointments, approves spending, and more. The National Senate has the power to impeach government officials and justices. It is chaired by the Speaker.
The Judicial Branch consists of the Supreme Court. It interprets the law, investigates constitutional complaints made by citizens, and is the highest court of appeals in Soundland.
​
It is led by the High Justice. There are currently no other justices serving on the bench.
