History[]
Governments, elections, and politics[]
American government is an imperial federation, meaning a constitutional monarch reigns of a federation of autonomous regional units.
The current Imperial Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, acts as America's head of state. In her stead, the queen appoints a President-General, who serves a primarily ceremonial role. Until 1956, the President-General enjoyed enormous power, including the power to arbitrarily declare war or peace with foes. The passage of the O'Neill-Hoover Act, with the consent of the British Parliament, severely limited the President-General's power to simply the ability to veto Council legislation. The appointment of the President-General usually comes upon the recommendation of the current Speaker of the Grand Council, a practice which began in the early 1900s and typically gives the P-G a more partisan role.
The legislative body of America is the Grand Council of the Union. The Council is a unicameral body whose members are elected by the people of the provinces and nations.
