Line 52:
The Burninite government system has the standard three “branches” -- an administrative/executive “branch,” a decisionmaking or legislative “branch,” and a branch for the resolution of disputes or a judicial “branch.” However, these are not organized in a typical modern way. It also has three main political parties that operate domestically.
===Political Parties===
The Unity Party ⇒ Seeks to maintain a unified Burninite League, with equal emphasis on the various tribes, as well as a focus on anticorruption efforts and support for the social mores that continue to provide for the good function of society and government.
The Monist Party ⇒ Seeks to expand the influence of the spiritual, with an emphasis on the environment and community at the expense of industry and development.
The Materialist Party ⇒ Seeks to expand the productive capacity of Burnination while protecting Burniniate leisure time by advancing science and industry, even at the expense of social mores, the environment, or spirituality.
All three major political parties support the general arrangement of Burninite government and society, with differences over which aspects of society or culture should prevail. There is no major capitalist faction, although it is alleged by some that the Materialists are favored by foreign capitalists because they are willing to trade more substantially than members of the other two parties.
===The Administrative Branch===
This is the only branch of government where any Burninite may stand for election and elections are held. This is the case for the National Chair, the lead executive, as well as the Chair of each national department. Unelected administrators, or bureaucrats, have selected that kind of specialized work through the work pool program. There are such public administrators in all the national departments.

===The Legislative Branch===
Burninites are selected by weighted lot to be a representative in their local council, or soviet, responsible for local ordinances. Each soviet has 10 members, randomly selected, that serve for 2 years. The lot is selected to result in a representative sample of Burninites represented, and each 10-member soviet represents 20,000 Burninites. (There are 350 soviets in Burnination.) All members of the community are eligible once they turn 20 years old.
