Government and Politics

Political System

Voltaire functions as a highly centralized absolute monarchy. According to its constitution, it is a self-described revolutionary and socialist state "guided in its building and activities only by great Travereism". The Socialist Party of Voltaire (VSP), a party led by a member of the Travere family, which has an estimated 431,000 members and dominates every aspect of Voleran politics. It has two satellite organizations, the Voleran Social Democratic Party and the Travereism United Party which participate in the VSP-led Democratic Front for Voltaire of which all political officers are required to be members. Voltaire is led by Dieuroi Gérard Travere, with second in command being the Dieuroi Émergent, the first-born son of the Dieuroi, currently Radelle Travere. The Conseil du Roi, made up of upper party members, is a council that oversees the various agencies of Voltaire. It is led by Réalisateur Jean Noel who must be picked by the incumbant Dieuroi and can be removed from office for any time and any reason by either the Dieuroi or Dieuroi Émergent. The Réalisateur can exile any delegate of the Conseil du Roi for any reason.

Corruption

Members of the Socialist Party of Voltaire are frequently exposed for corruption and money laundering. According to Voleran law, party members who are found to be corrupt shall face termination of their position and 40 years probarion of all political offices. The incumbent Réalisateur has absolute control in persecuting party officials, but rarely has done so. The royal family of Voltaire was also been accused of funneling millions of Cascadian dollars from the treasury in a 2010 scandal. Journalists who published stories about the corruption were subsequently executed along with 3 generations of their families.
