Politics of Los Ochentas

The Democracy of Los Ochentas is a syndicative direct democracy with elements of a directorial system in the form of governance. There is no single formal body of government throughout the nation, instead the power to create and enforce law is left to the individual cliques which are located throughout the nation. The cliques maintain, administer, and enforce a series of governmental codes which allow for the functioning of the nation as a single society, but allows for maximization of personal freedom and voice. To exist as a clique, a group of people must be able to pay a clique tax and protect themselves under the law and in the event of foreign attack. The clique tax promotes a series of governmental directorates which are the closest system to a formal government which Los Ochentas maintains. Governmental directorates operate in the areas of diplomacy, education, health and fire, transportation, utilities, and culture.
