Concilism is a federal system of
government organization in which the central
government is divided into three branches: academic, legislative, and judicial. The academic branch of
government accepts and trains aspiring legislators at a central political academy, graduation from which being mandatory in order become a national legislator. The legislative branch of
government is bicameral. The upper "states'" council is elected by the citizenry with each
state receiving representation proportional to its population. The lower "legislative" council is elected through staggered elections in the upper council, and is the only federal government body possessing legislative initiative. Proposed legislation must be approved by a simple majority vote in the upper council before being passed into law. State governments also have a veto over proposed legislation, requiring a supermajority vote in which each state possesses one vote. The judicial branch remains separate from the other branches, adheres to the rule of law, and exercises judicial review. The entire Concilist system operates under a national constitution which grants inalienable civil rights to all citizens, abolishes partisan
politics, ensures the separation of church and state, and vastly limits the powers of the central government.
