Structure
There is a president. They are elected in what's gotta be the most outdated election system possible in a democracy. They also have a bunch of secretaries working for them that run the country.
There is a congress, consisting of Senate and House of Representatives. Both are elected with less archaic systems[citation needed], but still use first-past-the-post, which is all sorts of stupid. They pass laws, except for when a state has jurisdiction over something instead of the federal government.
There is the U.S. Supreme Court, which is filled with people nominated by the president and confirmed by congress. They say what laws are and aren't legal. If something isn't legal, the Chancellor the Emperor the government has to make it legal first by passing a constitutional amendment. The lower courts also all defer to the Supreme Court.
