It is led by the head of the government, in Western nations referred to as the Premier or rarely Chairman. The premier is a elected member of the Supreme Soviet to oversee the General Staff and serve as the nation's figurehead.

The members of the General Staff—people's commissars, ministers, and heads of state committees—are recommended by the Premier and appointed by the Supreme Soviet. The General Staff exercises its executive powers in conformity with the Soviet Constitution and legislation enacted by the Supreme Soviet of Molovia.

General Staff

The General Staff, and the main executive power of the Soviet state, are both headed by the premier, who has an unspecified number of first deputy chairmen and deputy chairmen of the government, all of which were given responsibility over one specific area. These are accompanied by a varying number of government ministers and state committee chairmen, recommended by the premier and appointed by the Supreme Soviet. The executive branch is responsible for both short- and long-term economic, social and cultural development. The General Staff's official residence is at the General Staff Building in Sebrezic.

The General Staff exercise its executive powers in conformity with the Soviet Constitution and legislation enacted by the Supreme Soviet. Its structure, operational procedures and decision-making processes were defined by the 1994 Soviet Constitution, now by the 2008 Soviet Constitution. The Constitution mandates that the General Staff propose legislation and other documents to the Supreme Soviet, propose the budget and guide the economy, issue decisions and ordinances and verify their execution. The decisions and ordinances of the Council of Ministers of the SSRM shall be binding throughout the SSRM—these decisions and ordinances are binding throughout the country. It defines internal policies, direct and oversee operation of state administration, oversee the country's economic development, direct the activities and development of public services, and perform other activities which conform to the provisions of the Constitution and applicable legislation. The General Staff also control foreign trade and direct the "general development" of the National Army.

The Government manage the internal sphere of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Molovia's social policy. It is responsible for implementing measures which would either promote or ensure the well-being of Soviet citizens through economic, social and economic development. On the economic sphere, the government is responsible for monetary, technological, pollution, price wages and social security policies, controlled all All-Union, literally institutions controlled by the Central Government, and All-Republican institutions. For instance, the Government controls the State Bank and is responsible for the organisation of state insurance and accounting. It is the General Staff which drafts the five-year plans for economic and social development, through its control of the State Planning Committee, and the country's budget, through its control of the Ministry of Finance. Both the five-year plan and the budget need approval from the Supreme Soviet to be implemented. It is responsible for socialist property, public order and the protection of its citizen's.

The General Staff is responsible to the Supreme Soviet, and the Supreme Soviet could force the resignation of the General Staff as a whole or any Government appointees by a simple majority vote. The Premier and the members of the General Staff are jointly responsible for decisions passed by the Government and are responsible for their respective portfolios. The Chairman, or Premier, of the Supreme Soviet, literally head of state, appoints government ministers, and the appointment is approved by the Supreme Soviet. The Premier could recommend civil servants to the Supreme Soviet, which could then either pass or reject the nominee.

Supreme Soviet

The Supreme Soviet of Molovia is the highest legislative body in Molovia and the only one with the power to pass constitutional amendments. It serves as the collective head of state of the Soviet Republic and forms the Council of Ministers, and appointed the Procurator General of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Molovia.

The Supreme Soviet was made up of two chambers, each with equal legislative powers, with members elected for four-year terms:

  • The Supreme Soviet, elected on the basis of population with one deputy for every 300,000 people in the Soviet Republic
  • The Soviet of Nationalities, supposed to represent the ethnic populations, with members elected on the basis of 32 deputies from each union republic, 11 from each autonomous republic, five from each autonomous region, and one from each autonomous district. The administrative units of the same type would send in the same number of members regardless of their size or population.

Under the Soviet constitutions of Soviet Constitution of 1994 and 2008, the Supreme Soviet is imbued with great lawmaking powers.

Economy

The economy of Molovia is based on a socialist form of state capitalism. State capitalism is usually described as an economic system in which commercial (i.e., for-profit) economic activity is undertaken by the state, where the means of production are organized and managed as state-owned business enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, wage labor, and centralized management), or where there is otherwise a dominance of corporatized government agencies (agencies organized along business management practices) or publicly listed corporations of which the state has controlling shares.

Beginning in 1994, the entire course of the economy is guided by a series of Five-Year Plans. The plans are a series of social and economic development initiatives. The economy is shaped through the plenary sessions of the General Staff and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. The General Staff plays a leading role in establishing the foundations and principles of Molovian Socialism, mapping strategies for economic development, setting growth targets, and launching reforms. The Supreme Soviet ensures the conformity of these reforms and "Rubber Stamp" them.

Cuisine

Molovian cuisine is largely heterogeneous, sharing characteristics of the Tepans (especially former Socialist Federal Republic of Skrebićia) and South Hill cuisines. Food is very important in Molovian social life, particularly during religious holidays such as Christmas, Easter and feast days i.e. slava.

Staples of the Molovian diet include bread, meat, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Bread is the basis of all Molovian meals, and it plays an important role in cuisine and can be found in religious rituals. A traditional welcome is to offer bread and salt to guests. Meat is widely consumed, as is fish. Specialties include ćevapčići (caseless sausages made of minced meat, which is always grilled and seasoned), pljeskavica, sarma, kajmak (a dairy product similar to clotted cream), gibanica (cheese and kajmak pie), ajvar (a roasted red pepper spread), proja (cornbread), and kačamak (corn-flour porridge).

Molovians claim their country as the birthplace of rakia (rakija), a highly alcoholic drink primarily distilled from fruit. Rakia in various forms is found throughout the Tepans, notably in Vukia, Tranavia, and Bohwacja, Radaslava, and Durbia. Slivovitz (šljivovica), a plum brandy, is a type of rakia which is considered the national drink of Molovia.
