The Democratic State of Halmaxor (D.S.H.) is unique as it is one of the few true democracies of the world.
Any issue that arises is put to a nation vote, where each citizen that is at least the age of adulthood gets a say.
A measure must obtain a minimum of 66% of the vote to pass. Anything outside of that majority must be reworked and put to another vote until a majority is reached
If a measure fails to reach majority 3 times, it is automatically fails and is removed from consideration for a minimum of a year before being resubmitted with further revisions.
For a declaration of war, only 51% of the vote is needed but everyone who votes yes will be enlisted into the war effort.
They have never been to war.
