The Merchant Republic of West Rhodes is ruled by the West Rhodes Parliament (Spanish: Parlamento de Rodas del Oeste Greek: Κοινοβουλίου της Δυτικής Ρόδου [Koinovoulíou ti̱s Dytikí̱s Ródou]), which is comprised by two houses: The upper house, the House of Lords and the lower house, the House of Commons. Lords (caBastard, OttovonBistarck and Lord_Uxbridge being the first 3 founders) are appointed for life while the members of the House of Commons, called MPs (members of Parliament), are elected periodically. The leader of the Commons is the Prime Minister, which is a MP elected by his/her fellow MPs; the Prime Minister leads the House of Commons and helps crafting policies for the Parliament.

Each Lord also has the right to claim a fief. In this fief the Lord is the ultimate authority and he may create any laws he chooses so long as they do not directly contravene existing national laws.

Elections

Elections for the House of Commons occur periodically. The MPs are elected by the people of West Rhodes which are divided into constituencies; the current active constituencies are: East Valhalla, West Valhalla and Valhalla of Providence, Vikingstadt for Evergreen, Reddock for the Windward Isled and Uganda for the Territory of Uganda.
Elections for the House of Commons can also occur if:

  • The Prime Minister requests to dissolve the incumbent Parliament (must be approved by the upper house)
  • The House of Lords votes to dissolve the incumbent Parliament.
  • The Parliament votes to hold new elections.

The Prime Minister is a MP elected by his fellows MPs. There is no appointoed period for the term of the Prime Minister. He/She will hold his/her positions as long as the Commons allow him/her to. A new election for a Prime Minister can only occur if:

  • The Commons call for a new election of the Prime Ministers must be approved by the upper house)
  • The House of Lords puts an end to his term.
  • The Prime Minister resigns.

Approval and Implementation of Laws

The procedure for enacting a law is as follows:
MPs and Lords craft a law, the House of Commons votes on it, if it passes it goes on to the House of Lords, if it fails the Prime Minister may call a revote, when the House of Lords recieves the bill they vote on it, if it is approved it becomes a law. Alternatively the House of Lords may over ride the House of Commons on matters deemed to be of great importance to the nation, if it does so it may craft and pass it's own legislation without the approval of the House of Commons; however, if possible the Prime Minister should help craft the legislation.

Appealing Laws

If a law is considered unconstitutional it may be brought before the House of Lords for analysis. The Lords may choose to edit, discard, or up hold the law based on the arguments put before them before by those challenging the law.

Parties

As a representative democroacy, it is crucial for West Rhodes to have a group of political parties to support the system in their struggle of power in the most civilized way possible. The current and major parties are:
