Line 147:
Fyor is a parliamentary republic. The prime minister is Nikolao Aleĉjo who leads the government in parliament, with the president being Antono Lini. Bills are made in parliament and are passed to the presidential office which consists of the president and 9 advisers. Ultimately, it is the president who decides whether to pass the bill or not and make it law. If the president does not pass a bill then parliament can either drop it, make amends to it or try again. This system causes problems when the prime minister and president are from different political parties, and results in situations where bills go back and forth between the 2 places as the president will not make them law, as seen in the [[2013 Fyoric government]]. In 2018 a new law was introduced to prevent things from going back and forward without any explanation or changes. If a bill fails 5 times it becomes "mortinta" (dead) and the president must make amends to it, it then goes to the parliament who can either approve or reject the changes. If there is approval the bill automatically passes and becomes law. If it fails, Then it is put to a referendum for the Fyoric public to decide. So far this situation has only happened 3 times, only 1 time did this result in a [[2019 Elĝraj train routing referendum|referendum]] which caused criticism as the issue was seen as too minor to be put to a referendum and was seen as a waste of time for the public.
The laws in the Fyoric territory of [[Kiraso]] are much different to the ones of mainland Fyor and are generally much more liberal. [[Explorers Island]] is also a territory but has little autonomy and as such its laws are mostly the same except in special cases where the Fyoric government will pass an "exclusive territorial act" that only applies to the territory.

* The LGBT community is protected by law from discrimination in some areas such as employment and housing.
* The LGBT community that are Fyoric citizens only have no rights to marry or enter into partnerships, people who hold dual citizenship or one of another country are free to do so. This loophole has resulted in many Fyoric citizens attempting to gain citizenship of another country/territory (mainly Kiraso) alongside their Fyoric citizenship and therefore marry in their homeland. Kiraso has been accused by Fyor multiple times of giving Fyoric people temporary Kirasan citizenship so that they can marry in Fyor. There have been multiple attempts in Fyor to only let Kirasan born citizenship holders to marry, however they have all failed due to pressure from Kiraso and the government saying that it would be "too hard" and "unfair" to enforce it.
* Adoption is banned by law.
