It has been three years since the Unitary President, the system of government by which there was one President and an audience chamber with a Supreme Court Chief, has ended in the country of Mutanatia. A new system has been put in place. This allows for 100 Senators, a Supreme Court Chief, and a three-headed Presidency (known as the Troika). The Troika simply signs off on, proposes, or vetoes domestic laws. However, in the foreign policy realm, the Troika is an unchecked, united force. In order for anything to be signed, proposed, or vetoed, however, two of the three Troika Members must agree.
There are 4 Districts, with each one having 25 Representatives from each. District A is where the sentient Giant Mantises live. In District B, therein resides the business and manufacturing section. In District C, the rich thrive and property values are at an all-time high. But District D, a district that has been ravaged by war twice, has been left in ruins. The capital of the nation is placed squarely in the middle, known as the Mighty Center. The war was so ravaging that an “Unjustified War Clause” was put into the Constitution. Such a clause requires the single Supreme Court Chief (who is elected every year) to sign off on a war and ratify that it has a Just Cause. That happened 40 years ago. Another, Just War happened within the past twenty years, resulting in Mutanatia merging with its neighbor, Archaelogia. Former Archaeologians live in District D, while the Mutanatians, affectionately called “Mutants,” live in District C.
Under the Troika, the country has remained stagnant. A winning combination of the most knowledgeable politicians have not been found. Since this is the third annual election, citizens have their hopes up. But it is a dark and dreary place on the domestic front. Yet citizens still hope beyond hope that things will get better.
