==Overview==
 +
The United Dominion is an intergovernmental sovereign state organized to promote positive international relationships. The United Dominion has 10 official member states.

In The United Dominion, denizens enjoy their civil rights, although not too much, or too freely. Nations in the region are healthy democracies, with denizens being afforded an extensive array of political freedoms. Economies in the region tend to be stronger than average. Denizens tend to pay their taxes quickly and quietly, with a median tax rate of 19%. The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the private sector, with on average 34% of the economy comprising the public sector. Commerce within the region is an irrelevant annoyance to governments.

==Government==
 +
===Crowned Absolute Monarchy===
 +
The term 'Crowned Absolute Monarchy' is a combination of two types of governments, crowned republic and monarchy. The term 'crowned republic' refers to a state where a monarch's power is only ceremonious. The term 'absolute monarchy' refers to a government where absolute power rests with the ruler. This form of government is where a monarch's duty is ceremonious but absolute, when exercised. For example, the ruler is mostly always making appearances which constitutes as ceremonious duties; but when the ruler exercises his power, which is rarely, it is absolute.
  
−
In The United Dominion education, when conducted, is done with sticks and mud. The region is a lawless wasteland, nations regularly being the subject of documentaries by brave filmmakers. Governments make no provision for law and order. Nations within the region are forced to use soft fruit and harsh language in the field of battle, with no government funds being set aside for defense. Due to the lack of any Public transport, streets are packed with cars, bikes, and assorted noisy vehicles.
+
===The Monarchy===
 +
The reigning king of {{region|The United Dominion}} is King Kenneth York III of {{nation|Oasaes|Oasaes}}. All affairs of the monarchy are strictly operated by the Federal Monarchy of {{nation|Oasaes}}. The position of monarch is not gained by election or appointment. Based on Oasaen laws of Succession, only the Monarch of Oasaes will be the Monarch of the United Dominion. The monarch of Oasaes is also rightful the King of {{nation|Perseia|Perseia}}, {{nation|Estonyia|Estonyia}}, {{nation|Navarr|Navarr}}, and {{nation|East Kosovo|East_Kosovo}}. The other five member states have Kings who reign in their country in their own right.

In terms of evaluating the impact of the administration in The United Dominion, observers were required to fill in forms F11, LM16 and BRF761, then take a IO41(a), paginate the bundle with a précis, refer it up to Deborah in HR, who'll return a G14(c) to certificate the receipt of the request, then to expect a response within six to eight weeks. Hospital patients are given credit checks upon passing through emergency rooms, as no government provision is made for healthcare in the region. No welfare is provided in the region. Those unlucky enough to fall into unemployment are forgotten and abandoned. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.

Once all votes are counted in a country, whomever receives a marginal victory receives the entire amount of election points. If the ratio between candidates is slim, the points are proportioned. Once all points are distributed whoever has the most election points wins.

 +
Majoritarianism is very present in this system of election. Many candidates spend time campaigning in Oasaes (which is usually proportioned) and the swing country Osmer. Countries such as East Kosovo, Osmer, and Lufthanza are known to mirror the results in Oasaes, so candidates sought to win over Oasaes in order to win other votes in those countries. If a candidate secures votes in these prime countries, they will receive 69 election points which is a guaranteed victory. On the contrary, not every election turns out the same and votes are almost always proportioned in every country.
