Government and politics of Washingtonia

The Kingdom of Washingtonia has a relatively unique system of government, namely a presidential constitutional monarchy, wherein the King (or Queen) is the mostly ceremonial but also executive head of state, and the President the head of government. The President is elected by universal suffrage at the same time as a new Grand Assembly - every five years - and may be reelected until death. Much of Washingtonia's presidentialism elements were adopted from the United States, such as the fact that the legislature is unable to remove the President by a vote of no confidence, but rather impeachment if he oversteps his constitutional duties or rights.

The Grand Washingtonian Assembly is the national unicameral legislature of Washingtonia, and consists of three tiers, namely proportional representation, provincial representation (not to be confused with provincial legislatures) and interest groups. 250 members are elected nationally by way of proportional party-list representation, 20 are chosen by and from the two provincial legislatures (thus, 10 for each province) and the final 30 interest group assemblymen are elected by the sitting 270 other assemblymen after an approved list has been given to the body by the King on advice of the President (after the populace voted in a referendum which groups they want to have represented).

The judiciary, which consists of several courts, mostly notably the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court is the judicial branch of government and mainly solves civil and criminal disputes within the Kingdom. Constitutional Court Justices and Supreme Court Judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Grand Assembly.

The Constitution of 1913 is the legal framework for the political and governing system of the Kingdom, and derives its legitimacy from the King, who in turn derives it from "the Emperor", the Christian God. The Constitution, the first of its kind in Washingtonia, was passed by the Grand Assembly in its capacity as the Constitutional Assembly in 1913 after the decade-long Washingtonian Civil War.
