Governmental Structure of Husrien
The following is a description of the basic parts of the Husri government.The government of Husrien is oddly similar to the government of the United States, as it has a constitution that divides government into 3 branches. However, somewhat unlike the U.S., the Supreme Leader, who is elected by the people, is at the very top of government and can act almost however he or she pleases, so long as it does not go against the Constitution.

--------------------------------------------------
The Constitution is the document that defines all segments of national Husri government. It cannot be edited or expanded without approval from all three branches: more specifically, the Supreme Leader, at least 8 of their advisors, at least half of the Parliament and at least 9 National Court judges have to all agree on what the amendment will be. However, the National Court can do small edits to the Constitution without prior consultation with either of the two other branches, for example if there is a typo in need of correction. The Constitution also outlines some of the basic rights and duties of citizens and some basic laws. The Supreme Leader cannot go against the Constitution, no matter what.
--------------------------------------------------
The person who oversees it all, the Supreme Leader, is the most powerful person in the entirety of the People's Republic. They have the power to overturn almost any decision made in any governmental section, provided that they have a good reason to do so and that their veto does not violate the Constitution. The Supreme Leader rules for life. When the old Supreme Leader dies, a new national election is held to decide the new Supreme Leader.
--------------------------------------------------
The first branch, and the one the Supreme Leader works with the most, is the Organizational Branch. The Organizational Branch is the largest branch of government and is comprised of the advisors of the Supreme Leader, along with the governmental departments of each. If you work in the government, you almost certainly work in this branch. There are currently 16 primary departments of the People's Republic.

--------------------------------------------------
The second branch is the Parliamentary Branch. It is comprised of the Parliament, made up of ?? representatives that are elected by the people, with elections taking place every 5 years. The Parliament may vote on an assortment of issues at any time, and it often works with the Organizational Branch on these issues. Any decision made by the Parliamentary Branch may be vetoed by the Supreme Leader, so long as that veto does not come into conflict with the Constitution. The Parliamentary Branch cannot fight back in this case.
--------------------------------------------------
The third branch is the Judicial Branch. It is comprised of the National Court, a panel of 17 judges that may decide on very important national issues or debates. On rare occasions, the Judicial Branch also settles civil lawsuits. Any decision that the Judicial Branch makes may be vetoed by the Supreme Leader, but this almost never happens in modern times. A judge must go through an appointment process if they want to make it onto the National Court.
