Type of Government
My government is a Representative Democracy. Citizens elect a President every 4 and half years, (the other half of a year is used to elect a new President). To run for President you must be a citizen with a crime free background. Men must be 25 - 65 years old to run, Women must be 25 - 55.
System of Government
The system of government that I chose is unitary system. I chose unitary system because in my country I want all of the power to be in the central government. I also want a unitary system because I want the national government to manage local governments.
Type of Economy
The economy is Socialism. People have control over themselves. They can only create or destroy things they own. People can make their own buissnesses and the goverment, if company is need of help, will provide them with what they need help with
