Insight:

Veleste is a semi-direct stratocratic confederative minarchy based on councils at different levels: communal, regional, national, and confederational.

The Communal Council is elected by the direct vote of inhabitants of the commune.

The communes inside a region have its own juditial persona called Sheriff, he or she cannot declare independence of the commune but can order the Confederation to help the country with logistics if a famine or natural catastrophe happens, or to relocate troops there for border protection or even mass riots. The Sheriffs' work is to protect and judge sentences while the Communal Council or the legislative decides the policies and laws of the commune such as abortion and age of consent.

The Regional Council is made up of technocrats who are selected by the National Senate for their contributions to logistics, agriculture, and the development of the region or creating projects to be subsidized by communes and/or nations. It discuss matters of intern necessities, that means the Regional Council hold discussions about inter-communal problems and how they can be solved. The regions inside a nation consist of an area that are mostly or vastly connected economically or culturally.

The National Senate is elected by the direct vote of the population of the specific nation and the number of senators are tied its proportion.

The confederate or General Council is composed of rotatory seats that changes whenever a national Senator is elected four times. In the fourth eletion won he has to appoint his surrogate to take his Senator seat, after that he moves to take the seat of adviser in the General Council. It is not a legislative body like the others below its sphere, but a consultative and advisory body that the Representatives interact before making decisions, however, after the Third Democratic Reform the Council can also veto decisions if the majority vote for such.

The Exterior and Interior Representative are the Head of State and Government respectively. According to the main constitution written by Zamora in 1791, the pontiffs of Veleste, whatever their denomination or power, must always be active military men of high command rank. Since the Second Democratic Reform, Representatives have been elected by the direct vote of active military personnel, regardless of their rank.

The anthem is mandatory at the swearing-in of the Representatives, for opening and closing sessions of the General Council and for official state ceremonies. It is played on television and radio at the beginning and end of the broadcast day. If programming is continuous, the anthem is played once at 0600 hours, or slightly earlier at 0458 hours. The anthem is also played on New Year's Eve after the New Year Address by the Representatives. It is played at sporting events in Veleste and abroad, according to the protocol of the organisation hosting the games. According to the law, when the anthem is played officially, everybody must stand up (in case the national flag is raising, facing to the flag), men must remove their headgear (in practice, excluding those in military uniform and clergymen). Uniformed personnel must give a military salute when the anthem plays.
