Zimeanism

"Not to be confused with the initial system proposed for Zimea, Orthodox Zimeanism."

, also known as the or, is a form of government developed for the  Island Nation of Zimea and tested in several simulations. It is characterized by a mix of parliamentary  multi-party  democracy as well as a non-elected  dictatorial presidential position.



The Zimean System was developed in 2018 for JonahF2014's proposed and imagined  micronation, the  Island Nation of Zimea.

The system was subsequently practiced on two (or rather three) occasions in a minecraft political simulation; those being the Republic of Atzi (1 & 2) and the  Republic of Trevas. In both the system proved effective, although small resistance mounted in the latter due to misunderstanding of the system's ideals; both simulations also suffered from lack of political participation, overall however, it is save to say that the system works at least in minecraft.

Zimeanism believes in the implementation of the Zimean Government System. This system would consist of a democratically and freely elected parliament as well as a de facto dictator known as the President. The president is the head of state and has the right to do whatever he wishes as an absolute ruler, however he is urged to leave the parliament to do as they wish, being a benevolent dictator and allowing the people to make decisions themselves, only intervening when he feels it truly necessary. The president reverses his right to veto parliamentary legislation as well as putting in place his own legislation without consulting the parliament however.

The president is traditionally the founder of the country or the one who lead the movement to implement the Zimean System. The president should appoint a successor before he dies or abdicates, this would usually be a family member or friend. If the president dies before appointing a successor, a free and direct election is to take place to appoint a replacement to his role. Though acting more like a figurehead, the president has the real power to do as he pleases in the country with full immunity from the law as well as the right to implement and veto any law or proposal. In theory, the president would be benevolent and not intervene much in politics, similarly to the British monarchy; how realistic this may be is questionable however.

The parliament is to be democratically elected by the citizen of the country. It is a multi-party parliamentary election without any presidential influence on who is able to run (in theory). The parliament acts as the country's legislature and may thus adopt new laws, among other things; laws however must always be signed by the president, who is also able to deny their signage by issuing a veto of the parliament's decision.

While an interesting system as a concept, it is hard to execute without the President taking full control and possibly abolishing the Parliament, or vetoing everything they don't like. Therefore this system is majorly flawed in practice if the president isn't a truly competent and benevolent leader. the system has however been tried in online-simulations where it has somewhat worked, usually failing on too little participation or agitation against the system itself by member of the population.
