Politics

Hasanistan is governed as a unitary semi-presidential republic in accordance with its Constitution and laws. The current constitution is the sixth in Hasanistani history, having been adopted on <date>. Although it establishes the basic principles of any system of government adopted by Hasanistan, requiring it be democratic, elective, "constitutionalist" and abide by the rule of law, it does not define the actual structure of government which is instead established in national laws passed by elected bodies. The current structure of the Hasani government is largely derived from the 2nd System of Government Act 2020, enacted on <date>. The current arrangement is in contrast to previous Hasanistani constitution, which often detailed the basis of government, but allows flexibility in terms of reforms. However, any changes to the Constitution itself require approval by sixty percent of the population in a referendum.

The head of state is the President of Hasanistan and the head of government is the Prime Minister. The President is directly elected every two years and appoints a Prime Minister from among the deputies of the lower house of the legislature. The President and to a lesser extent the Prime Minister exercise a degree of executive power within their own capacities, although executive power it is largely executed collectively by the Supreme Council. The Supreme Council is composed of the President, the Prime Minister, the Chief Judge and ministers appointed by mutual agreement of the President and Prime Minister. The Supreme Council is responsible to the legislature and may be impeached by it.

Legislative power is vested within the bicameral National Parliament, composed of the upper Mejlis of Knowledgeable Peoples and the lower Consultative Mejlis. The Mejlis of Knowledgeable Peoples is composed of ten presidential appointees representing different demographic communities and permanent so-called "natural members" who are eligible former heads of state and government, all of whom are nonpartisan in their capacity. The Consultative Mejlis is composed of elected deputies who serve a year-long term. The head of Mejlis of Knowledgeable Peoples is its Speaker who is appointed by the President or elected from members of the chamber, while the head of the Consultative Mejlis is the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister does not need to seek re-election while serving in their capacity. Law-making power in the legislature is held by the Consultative Mejlis, although either the President or Speaker may request the Mejlis of Knowledgeable People debate and potentially amend a motion which would be returned to the lower house to be voted on again. Once a motion or act is passed by the National Parliament, the President ratifies it to enact it into law. However, the President may use a suspensive veto to return it back to the legislature for a second vote.
