Politics

Loutreniye is a federal syndicalist republic. This means that the nation controlled by elected bodies from trade unions and thus there is no official president or prime minister. The Loutriniyan legislature is the Karrehérigghecok (Building of all the communes). A notable feature of Loutreniye's political system is the absence of political parties, with all members of the Karrehérigghecok sitting as independents. Partisan politics was outlawed in Loutreniye in 1956 and despite pressure from foreign nations, the largely isolationist country has maintained this system up to the current day, with it proving especially popular among the country's rural population.
