The Epsilonian Republic, or the Republic of Epsilon, is a constitutional parliamentary democracy and is a collective of nations, towns and cities with the common goals of connection and cooperation in mind. It's named after a former MRT server machine, Epsilon, which expanded the New World. It was founded by ModernArt originally as the Norwestian Republic, but merged with the Hispania, which was lead by Fiork777 to create the Epsilonian Republic. It is currently the largest MPO on the MRT.

Cities of the Epsilonian Republic

The Epsilonian Republic is an intergovernmental organization of nations, towns, cities and dominions, which promotes intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and infrastructural integration among its members. They are all entirely autonomous, with each town/city/dominion having unique differences between each other. They are divided into different regions, which are the equivalent of wards in the MRT. The more ranked the town is, the more seats it gets (for example Councillor gets 2 seats and unranked towns gets 1 seat). Feel free to add your town down below if your town wants to or already is in the Epsilonian Republic. Please do not touch political party affiliations if you are already in the Republic and a general election is coming.

Politics

Overview

The Republic of Epsilon uses a semi-presidential system of democracy, which has a President and Prime Minister as its main leaders. The President maintains the stability and of federal matters pertaining to the Republic of Epsilon, while the Prime Minister coordinates the daily functions of government agencies, civil service, and the military. The Vice President's main responsibility is to become acting President when the President becomes inactive, although they do not play a large role in determining the day-to-day operations of the country. Rather, they are an assistant to the President and are part of the presidential cabinet. Like the Vice President, the Deputy Prime Minister acts as an assistant to the Prime Minister, even though the position is not defined in the Epsilonian Constitution.

As the main opposition to the government, the Leader of the Opposition is the equivalent of the Prime Minister in the largest party that is not in government. They may opt to have a Shadow Cabinet which mirrors the government in power and criticizes the policies they implement.

With the exception of government ministers and their staff, all officials in the Epsilonian Republic are elected directly by their constituents through a single-member district voting system. Although each municipality has different ways to elect their representatives on the Epsilon House of Representatives, such as using ranked-choice voting as opposed to first-past-the-post, each municipality receives a number of seats based on the size of its city rank; starting from unranked cities at 1 seat. For this reason, [Premier] cities who are part of the Republic of Epsilon receive up to 12 seats on the House of Representatives.

Laws created by the House of Representatives are used to amend the Epsilonian Constitution; create committees, commissions, and ministries that oversee the nation's daily functions or create long term plans for large-scale projects; and regulate its internal parliamentary rules. While Epsilon does not have a central code of regulations, the House of Representatives posts all of their recent bills and legislation on the MRT Wiki, which can be located at their official Wiki page here.

President

The Presidency is the most powerful position in the land, as it can influence decisions for the future of the Republic. It was originally an unelected position but now it has changed to become an elected position and can be held for a maximum of two parliamentary sessions. Its job is to maintain unity with a specific party agenda in the Republic to allow the expansion of its public services, acquisitions and nationality.

Vice President

The Vice-Presidency is the 2nd in command of the Republic and is an elected position. The position is usually for 2 parliamentary sessions (which is the two terms of a Prime Minister). The Vice-Presidency was established originally as a compromise between the then Leaders of the Republics of Norwest and Hispania as an un-elected position, but since then it has progressed as an electable position. The Vice-Presidency's job is to help the President with public duties and remain neutral in politics (unless for Vice-President elections).
