Editing Deutschland (section)

== National Politics ==
Deutschland is formally a Federal Limited Monarchy wherein the Kaiser is the head of government; and the Reichstag is composed of representatives from all the member planets and rules with legislative power.  So, the government is centralized around [[New Berlin]], in the system of [[Brandenburg]].  The most important decisions are ratified by the Kaiser before being put into effect.  Planet [[Vienna]] is a University planet, but it's also the cultural center of the interstellar nation. 

Each system regarded as part of the Republic has a governor elected to oversee it's economy and morale. In the case of systems with a habitable planet, a governor is generally chosen from the local population, while systems with no population centers will be ruled by a government elected governor who will maintain office on New Berlin. Governors have the right to submit reforms to the Chancellor's office for consideration, thus giving him higher legislative power over the individual planets. Each governor however has direct control over all bases and planets in the system he has been assigned to.
