The
New World Republic was formed through a merger of what was formerly the Southeast
Asianic region - in addition to the now submerged continent down under. It's
not really a democracy (which went out the window when Uncle Sam ran out of
solutions to our problems) simply because that takes too long to make a decision.
Instead, it's semi-democratic in that the government is democratically elected,
but once they are in office, the
Council has final
say (through simple majority decision vote within the Council) in all matters
pertaining to national interests, which is to say, everything.
