Benfala



Overview
Benfala's government is a multi-tiered representative republican system in which the people of the colony elect leaders to their own part of the Legislative Branch, the House of Representatives, a modestly powerful branch that can be overridden by both the Executive Branch and the other part of the Legislative Branch. They can be override Executive and Executor Vetos with a 3/4ths Majority, or by bringing it to the Judicial Branch for review. They are the primary branch which proposes laws and passes them onto the Council of Executors.

The other half of the Legislative Branch is the Council of Executors, an group of appointed and moderated by the Executive Branch in order to pass laws and moderate the House of Representatives., they also have the power to propose and pass laws in emergency situations along with the power to greenlight Executive declarations of wars. They generally side with the Executive Branch, and are part of the many checks and balances to keep the Executive Branch as the most powerful branch in Benfala.

The Executive Branch is headed by Pieter de Klerk. It holds the most power in the colony, and can veto laws by both the Executors and Represenatives and appoint and remove Executors. Executive branch terms last 8 years, with no re-election limit. They are elected via popular election with the Council of Executors forming an electoral college that is able to change their vote against the people in justifiable situations, such as extreme local gerrymandering or evidence of locally rigged elections.

Benfala is located in the Telepar star group. It shares the star group with Duveria, Redhaven, Dosif, and Gansk III.
