Editing Cartenian Commonwealth (section)

==Government== 

Cartenian Commonwelath is goverened by an elective  parliamentary-style representative governance.

Political parties, considered dinosaurs on most UFP worlds, still exist on Cartenia. However, the political landscape is somewhat different than what one would see on other worlds. The parties are all small, so governments are based on coalitions. Political arguments are often loud, and sometimes fall to blows among members of the government.

The two primary coalitions, the Arturian Reformation Movement and the Meldovian Traditionalist Party are effectively the only effective political powers within the political system. Under the newly ratified '''Articles of the Commonwealth''', Each of the two planets, [[Arturia Prime]] and [[Meldovia III]] will each receive 10 members to the Council of Elders, the members of which will elect the leader to the commonwealth, the Prime Consort.  The reclamation and repair of Cartenia's wrecked biosphere is a primary focus for both parties.
