mine country is divided into provinces, some are the size of small countries (Buenos aires province(307,571 km2)= italy (301,340 km2 )) and each province is divided into municipalities (countys).
each province elect 3 senators, regardless of it's economic size or population. while at the same time each province have a certain number of deputies according to it's population.
some have as much as 70 deputies while others have as little as 5.
every 4 years we have general eleccions where we choose a president, and a vice president to rule the country for those 4 years.
Each province has 1 senator, and a different amounts of deputis depending on how many municipalities, they also have 7 deputies for diaspora and 5 "national deputies, totaling 190 seats.
Well thats good. Each senator represents a small amount of people. Here some senator represent 5 millions, wich doesnt make sense

those are divides then divisions are strategic or operational level military units, usually commanded by colonels who are just under generals who command armies who are under marshals commanding multiple armies

Explain yours burguer
Christian Jones
ok so, how is your country organized? by city-states or that was the greeks?
Joseph Jackson
You forgot that this country has only 10 million people and it's pretty much the same here, we have senators that represent 30% of the total pop. other one 10% and so on.

17 autonomous communities which contain one or several provinces (50 in whole Spain). Also 2 autonomous cities. Both autonomic and general elections are held every 4 years.
the """""autonomous"""" title is important because it shows in how many countries should Spain actually balkanize into yet they don't because they're a bunch of cucks
In Britain we elect someone to represent our local area (constituency) in Parliament, someone to vote for policies that will benefit your constituency. We don't actually directly vote for our prime minister, we vote for the political parties in our local areas. Whichever party has the most MPs (Members of Parliament) will be the one in power.
Our constituencies are mostly proportional to population density, so the more populated an area is, the more constituencies. There are a few outliers though, a few constituencies here and there that should be merged together or split because they're much smaller/bigger in population than others.
ah yes. here some have a lot of people under represented, and the poor people of the north is overrepresented, so they always fuck us when we are voting an important bill
Jacob Morris
how many represent do you have in the parliament?

Well an Amerimutt hasn't gone yet so here goes the basic rundown:
The United States is divided into 50 states, each with their own governor, judiciary, and elected legislature.
In the United States Congress, each state is represented in each of the Congress' two houses in different ways. The Lower House, the House of Representatives, is organized by population, with the most populous state (California) getting the most representatives (53), while the 6 least populous states (ex. Wyoming) have 1.
The Senate, the upper house, is equal with every state having two senators regardless of size.
Also our general election for the POTUS is an inbetween of pure population representation and equal state representation where more populated states have more electoral votes but there’s diminishing returns for how many they get, and (most) states are winner-take-all for their electoral votes.
Yes it was all an master deep state ploy to have Hillary get cucked in two elections for Obama who did some things and then elect Trump who repealed literally everything Obama did.
no sabia que Jow Forums estaba "lleno" de patagonicos.
Aaron Cook
casi no vive gente ahi o que?
Justin Wright
no, no vive casi nadie. la patagonia del lado argentino es en su mayor parte un desierto helado y ventoso, y la mitad de la patagonia chilena son islitas heladas.
Aiden King
There is no difference between parties.
He didn't did shit.

Within in the federal government there are three branches of power; The Executive, The Legislative. and the Judiciary. Each branch has specific powers that allow it to control the other two, stopping one branch from gaining power over the others
Our country is run by the government, which consists of the King and the ministers (who are handpicked by the parliament and appointed by the King). Ministers don't have to be politicians.
In the Netherlands we have: The Kingdom of the Netherlands = The Netherlands (including 3 carribean Islands) + three Caribbean countries The Netherlands. We have parliamentary elections, but the ministers are handpicked by the parliament. 12 provinces, which are comparable to American states. They have their own elections. But the leader is picked by a minister. And we have municipalities. Who have their own elections, but the city mayors are also picked by a minister. Usually one suggested by the city counsel.
They each have pretty much full authority, but they can't overwrite higher laws.
We also have the water boards. Which are local organisations independent of the government. They do the water management, maintaining the water ways and building dykes. They also have their own elections. This organisation is actually older than our country itself.
Because the city mayors are in charge of the police we do have problems with Amsterdam making their own rules, which do contradict national laws. Because they simply don't enforce certain rules, such as anti squatting laws.
In Amsterdam they don't enforce a lot of laws, such as: - drug laws - biking / traffic laws - anti-squatting laws - laws against housing refugees And they have their own rules against sexual harassment (which isn't a crime in the Netherlands), public drinking and so on.
In the Netherlands we often joking call them Republic Amsterdam because they believe they are their own country.
Jayden Hernandez
what about shitting on the street?
Joshua Martinez
It's fine if you shit on someone's porch (jk). They also pretty much implemented their own age of consent as all sex clubs and the red light district don't sell rooms to girls below 21 (instead of 18 years old).
Chase Brooks
it doesn't sound very democratic. but it crearly works
Logan Cooper
That's also why the EU is so fucked up. Because our government picks the person who represents us in the European Commission.
So unelected people pick unelected people to rule over us lol.
William Harris
but at least those unelected people seems to be very competent.
here we elect every single representatives, and they are all shit.
Luis Richardson
Our government is more competent than that of most other European nations, but that doesn't say a lot. When there is a crisis our politicians can also put their party differences aside, which is nice. During the financial crisis for example our parliament simply said: solve it and we review how you did it afterwards. And they also did it when we needed budget reforms to meet the EU's 3% norm for example. And that allows our government to make quick decisions in emergency situations.
But our government firmly believe in that each government should function on their own level. So European problems like the refugee crisis never get solved because the EU is so incompetent. If it was up to local politicians it would have been solved long ago.

Regions are basically meaningless right now, as there's no elections at that level except in one region. They are merely cooperation organs between municipalities.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Finland >Finland comprises 19 regions called maakunta in Finnish and landskap in Swedish. The regions are governed by regional councils, which serve as forums of cooperation for the municipalities of a region. The main tasks of the regions are regional planning and development of enterprise and education. In addition, the public health services are usually organized on the basis of regions. Currently, the only region where a popular election is held for the council is Kainuu. Other regional councils are elected by municipal councils, each municipality sending representatives in proportion to its population.
