Arcadia works as a presidential republic but there some important differences:

1) While every Arcadian citizen has the right to vote, one has to complete the National Service in order to be able to be elected for a political position, as labor representative or to aply to some job in strategic areas (working in the Arcadian Navy shipyards, for example). The National Service is completed after some time in the military, police forces, merchant navy, or community work. It can also be earned as a distintion after some important service to the country. Its objective is proving that the citizen is able to take responsabilities in the name of the comunity and the country and serve its fellow countrymen.

2) The Arcadian Paliament has two houses. The Low House, the Congress, is a democratic house elected by the citizens. The Upper House by contrast, is composed by experts and divided in comittees. Laws are proposed and aproved by the Congress then revised and developed by the appropiate Senate Comittee. The law returns to the Congress for its final aprobal (if its rejected it returns to the Senate).

3) The Arcadian bureacracy is pretty independent an powerful (many senator came from the bureaucracy) and works with a system of tiers or ranks (somewhat similar to the army). The most obvious example is the judiciary, which elects the members of the High Court and the Constitutional Court.
