Governance

Zitorai can be best summarised as a federation. Zitorai has a total of 23 states, with each having “magistrates” in the legislative branch of government, the quantity of which per state is relative to the population of said state. Magistrates are elected democratically at a state level, though suffrage is not universal and is only given as a privilege to men who have served in the military for 2 years, have fathered at least 2 children and have no history of crime. Magistrates serve for 20 years, though they may resign at will or be dismissed by majority vote. Magistrates also hold judicial power, and they can appoint or dismiss lower-court judges at will.

In the executive branch, twelve “senators” hold executive powers, with no head of government or head of state. Senators serve for life unless they resign on their own accord or are dismissed through a 66% supermajority in the house of representatives. In this case, a new senator is elected by the house of magistrates.
