Government Structure

The name says it all here, The Monsian Arduin is exactly what they are. The government style Arduin was first theorized by the Monsian who named the style after themselves. This form of government brings in portions of many different government styles into one system, taking the best from each system and leaving behind the rest.

If you called them a constitutional dictator-republic, you're pretty close. The best way to look at their government is from a top down perspective. Starting at the top you have Q. Q is a Monsian who is tasked AI upkeep and setting Monsi-wide initiates and policy. Most government systems are done by AI, in some part to minimize workforce but mainly because the AI systems are open source, any Monsi can verify the integrity of the AI from any computer terminal. The logs of the AI are fully open to the public as well, to verify the system is operating as intended. Anyone can propose changes to any AI system that is over them, proposed changes are considered by the person in charge of AI upkeep, and then determines if this is worth adding. It's been decades since a change has been approved, simply because they're already running perfectly and no new features have been developed.

Q not only operates the AI and the Monsi-wide policies, but also operates the Capital city, but in the constitution, no Monsi is allowed to have direct rule over more than one city so other Monsi operate the rest of the cities with the same level of authority that Q operates all of Monsi space. Q's policies override lower policy, but initiatives are optional from city to city. There are rural or sparsely populated portions of Monsi space, and ruling cities is a much different endeavor and requires much different rules than rural spaces, for this reason Monsi are placed in charge of the rural areas as if they were their own city. These areas may be far larger in actual space, but the population under one Monsi's control is actually lower on average.

Some cities are so large that one Monsi cannot effectively govern them. In this case the Monsi of that region can vote to split, if 65% of Monsi agree, they form a burg of a city and appoint their own commissions and operate their own AI. Sometimes burgs may use the cities AI and they may not form overlapping commissions. These burgs must comply with policy set by Q, but they may not follow initiates, or may go about them in a different way.

Take a hypothetical where Q makes a bad policy that many of the cities, burgs, and rural areas all agree is bad. The proper way to go about this is to ask Q to remove the policy, if that fails they move to the improper method and that is simply killing Q. The AI systems are good enough at running everything that Q really isn't needed, and in the absence of Q someone will either step up and take the responsibility, or it will be left empty. However this is highly unlikely to happen. Q fought in the Green Revolution, and initially argued against the formation of a world wide governance system, but when it became clear that there would be one he decided he would be best to lead it, letting no one else have this power. That was over a thousand years ago. Most of the Monsi alive today have only ever known Q rule and are quite happy with the way he runs things. Those old enough to remember a time Q didn't rule remember corporatism and how bad things were then, and seeing the growth of society since then, it's hard to argue that he's the Monsi for the job. At this rate, it'll take foreign assassins to remove him from power.
