Sandbox text for Government of Westarctica


The '''Government of Westarctica''', formally referred to as '''His Majesty's Government''', is the central government of Westarctica and its colonies, dependencies, and territories.  Although similar in some respects to a parliamentary government, the government of Westarctica does not have an equivalent of a legislative parliament and does not include elected representatives; nor does it include a judicial branch (the functions of both of these are retained by the Grand Duke, who produces legislature by ''fiat'' and provides summary judgement in all domestic legal cases presented to him).  All positions within the government are received by appointment and may be rescinded at the pleasure of the Grand Duke, the sole and independent head of the government.  The government is separate from the Westarctican [[Order of Precedence in Westarctica|Order of Precedence]], which characterizes the relations between Westarctica's nobility.
