<p dir="auto">Political Parties:</p>
<p dir="auto">The Party of June is the main Political Party in Icholasen currently, and controls the Senate, the Nonet and 5 different Dominion Assemblies. Here are all the <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1K3DjVEy4HQvNv_-nfxsIwy6v5OZNw_HtmtC67tYOENQ/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow ugc">Nicoleizian Political Parties and what they stand for.</a></p>

Dominion Assemblies' Makeup (<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yC4h4eoom-FVIdrVWZXv_j5PiJGnEga1vWyLARaslos/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow ugc">Breakdown of the Nicoleizian vote and Seats</a>)</p>
<p dir="auto">Icholasen is made up of 9 Dominions, that some deem are artificial creations. Only 1 Dominion existed as an entity before the reforms in the 1990s. Each Dominions sends a number of Senators to the Senate proportional to their population and to the entire national population. However Dominions all send 1 Nonet Member no matter what their population. Elections to the Senate and the Nonet are all connected to the individual governments of the 9 Dominions. Instead of having separate local and national elections, the 9 Assemblies in each Nicoleizian Dominion has exactly the same seat makeup as the seats they send to the Senate, with Assembly Members (ideally) working with their counterparts in the Senate to best represent their local constituents. In addition, the party who holds the Nonet seat for the Dominion, also holds the Governorship, whether the Governor's party can hold the Assembly or not. The Governor of the Dominion holds powers in tiebreak situations but is not a part of the legislature. The Governor acts as the head of the Dominion's executive and proposes legislation.</p>
<p dir="auto">Each Dominion of Icholasen has its own Assembly. Here is the <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CvbMu1gUHzWTVp_RVAq1wvpsEgIB_0-TI78uYjArSOI/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow ugc">makeup of Each Dominion Assembly.</a></p>
