Executive
The executive is composed of a primary organ, the Cabinet of Roscamistan, whose members are appointed by an elected President, and a civil service, composed of officers who execute the will of the cabinet in their respective ministries and agencies. The President serves as leader of the Cabinet, and its appointer. The President appoints the Cabinet after confirmation by the National Congress, itself elected by popular vote. The Vice-President serves as deputy and constitutional successor to the President, whilst the Prime Minister serves as the most-senior minister. Ministries are responsible to the President, and are headed by officers either titled Minister or for more senior officers, Secretaries of State.
Legislature
The legislature of the nation is the National Congress, a unicameral authority composed of 12 seats. 8 seats are assigned to proportional representation by list voting, whilst the four provinces get a seat each. These provincial representatives are elected by first past the post.
Judiciary
The Supreme Court of Roscamistan is the federal court of the nation, and at the top of the judiciary. The Chief Justice of Roscamistan serves as the presiding officer of the Supreme Court and the head of the judiciary. There are also courts at other levels of government, notably provincial Superior Courts, headed by Superior Judges.
