Brief description of your country
Presidential system of government, although has historically seen only one political party winning power across branches of government being the Conservative Nationalist Party (CNP). Increasingly isolationist, Alturia is fiercely independent and does not believe in ceding or pooling it’s national sovereignty. It is an increasingly self-sufficient nation, with a strong manufacturing sector with a new drive to increase services and agriculture, it has pursued policies of economic nationalism and protectionism in the past. Alturian’s are more likely to be socially conservative, and are strongly supportive of the current social order where LGBT+ individuals are stigmatised, abortion is illegal in all circumstances, divorce is forbidden and the role of women are seen to be family-makers rather than contributing workers.
Other political parties do exist, however due to their divided nature are unable to combine and offer a strict alternative with opposition parties ranging from social democrats, liberals, communists and socialists with the First-Past-The-Post system working against them.
The Constitution encourages an authoritarian style of government placing significant powers in the hands of the President including the ability to push through legislation against the wishes of the legislature and judiciary. Although, this power has not been used in the nations 160 year history.
Brief Summary of how you'd like your country to fit in the world
I envision Alturia, slowly but surely, opening up it’s markets and expanding it’s international image through it’s military might - seeking to advance it’s own interests where possible through military means if necessary (different for me i know) - I also foresee the ability of the minor political parties to slowly break through the political system (not necessarily sweeping elections but expanding influence and trying to reform the Alturian system) by possibly using international community members as rationale to try open Alturian minds to reform.
