Government and politics
The government is composed of three divisions:
 * The Crown: Holds the most power. Has final say over other divisions.
 * The Council: A council of thirteen representitives, each representing a province.
 * The Theatre: A large group of people representing provinces. The amount of representatives are based on population.

Parties and Elections
Federal Party- focuses on controlling the population. Has bits of a monarchy and fascism.

Republican Party- trying to move the Federation to be more a Republic. Wants a more democratic system.

Socialist Party- for the people, focusing on social issues and rights. Extremists involved in social terrorism.

The three political parties have been fighting for control of the government since the late AD1300s. Before then, Minston was still ruled completely by a monarchy. A new government was established in 1367, still having the crown hold most of the power, but adding two “democratic” systems below it. The systems had a large amount of control in the government, but can be overruled by the king/queen. Throughout the years, legislation was passed limiting the monarch power.
