==Government==
==Government==
Since the unification with Pavlov, Lostisland has been governed as a Federal Republic with President as Head of State and Prime Minister as Head of Government. While the President is officially the most important person in the Federal Republic, he is usually a representative figure as the Prime Minister and his cabinet, not the President, exercises true Executive power, although President remains Commander-in-Chief of the Lostislandic Army Forces.
Despite its name, modern-day Lostisland doesn't have a federal system of governance; Hunter Island and Alexander Island are nominally considered "Federation of Hunter" and "Federation of Belastrova" respectively, but both claims being symbolic, the division into federations exists only on paper. As both islands are uninhabited, Lostisland doesn't consider its citizens as residents of either federation; the name "Federal Republic" refers to the 2013 merger between the Republic of Lostisland and the Kingdom of [[Pavlov]], which was never carried out as initially planned.


Although both President and Prime Minister are elected by universal voting, according to the Article XXVIII of the Constitution, the first election will take place once a regular settlement is established on the territory of the Federal Republic, and until that time, Yaroslav Mar and Denys Tezdzhanenko serve as President and Prime Minister respectively.
Lostisland is run by a President as Head of State and a Prime Minister as Head of Government and head of the executive; both the President and the Prime Minister are elected for a four-year term; however, according to Article LXXIV of the Constitution, the first presidential election will take place if and when the incumbent President Yaroslav Mar, recognized as the President for Life, leaves office. In effect, this makes Lostisland a de facto constitutional monarchy, albeit a non-hereditary and temporary one.
 
As a direct democracy, Lostisland doesn't have a legislature; constitutional amendments and laws are voted on universal referendums.
 
The judicial power is vested in the Praesus of the Supreme Court of Lostisland, commonly referred to as the Supreme Judge of Lostisland.
 
==Diplomacy==
Lostisland has a special economic relationship with [[Westarctica]] as the country's single largest trade partner. All of Westarctica's flags are manufactured by MicroFlag, a company registered in Lostisland and run by the nation's founder. Additionally, the two nations share geopolitical intelligence regarding other [[micronations]] and have strong, yet unofficial, military cooperation with one another.
