Austenasia is governed by a system that combines both tradition and modern principles. At the helm of the government is the Prime Minister, who serves as the head of government and is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Empire.
The Prime Minister works alongside the Emperor, who acts as the symbolic leader and head of state, representing the Empire in diplomatic matters and upholding the nation’s core values. The Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister are elected by popular vote and play a vital role in shaping the policies and direction of the nation, ensuring that the Empire runs smoothly and efficiently.
This system of government ensures a balanced approach, with the Prime Minister overseeing the practical affairs of the state while the Emperor provides guidance and stability. Together, they work to maintain a government that is both effective and aligned with the principles of liberty, justice, and prosperity for all subjects of the Empire.
