World Government[edit]

Nusakan is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

  • The basis for Kargol government is direct democracy. Every citizen is expected to vote on all important issues. Councils of managers are employed to take care of the daily business of government, but there are weekly policy elections. A Kargol world with Government Type 4 (representative democracy) is as close to the spirit of Type 2 (participatory democracy) as possible for the population size.

World Culture[edit]

The most common religion is Dujik.
