The government of Amerada, like most nations is divided into three branches. Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Amerada's 13 colonies, and 2 territories have minor governments as well.

EXECUTIVE

President

The current President is, His Excellency, the Right Honourable Nicholas James Bridgewater

The President and Vice President are elected every 4 years. The next election is in before December 2006, but hopefully the Presidential term will soon be shortened by reform legislation..

 

Vice-President

The current Vice-President is, His Excellency, the Right Honourable Scott Noseworthy

LEGISLATIVE JUDICIAL

Legislature

The current Prime Minister is, His Excellency, the Right Honourable Derek McCullough. The current Deputy Prime Minister is the Honourable Matthew McIvor

The Amerada Legislature, is currently Amerada's only house. It is made up of 11 representatives, who represent the 11 ridings of  Amerada. The legislature is based on proportional representation, based on the last election results. The wining party's leader becomes the Prime Minister, and he or she names a deputy Prime Minister. A separate election for Prime Minister is called every year, but only members of the leading party in the legislature may run. Every four years, a multi-party election will occur, where one member from each registered party may run for Prime Minister.
