Athens Federation

The Athens Federation is a federal republic on the Athens server, and consists of the majority of the server's population. It consists of several cities, including its co-capitals Athens and Novo-Arkhangelsk.

Legislature
Athens has a bicameral federal legislature, with both chambers directly elected; incorporated cities may have their own legislative setup, but they must be directly elected under federal law. The upper chamber is the Athens Senate, currently holding 86 senators; this is officially non-partisan (although most get around this restriction by forming "caucuses" or "groups" that are in reality fully controlled by the party they support).

The lower chamber is the Athens People's Congress, currently holding 214 representatives (174 from incorporated cities and 40 from unincorporated precincts); its members are called PCs, and parties are allowed in this chamber.

Members of the Senate are generally viewed with a higher degree of seniority than PCs, and are generally considered more likely to run (and to have a higher chance of being elected) for the post of President of the Federation than their representative cousins, although some presidents have been elected after solely serving a PCs or in local government.

Incorporated cities
Incorporated cities are legally considered parts of the federation. Incorporated cities are represented by two senators in the Athens Senate, and are divided into Organized Precincts based on population, with each precinct represented by two representatives in the Congress of the People. One of these is elected using FPTP on a precinct level, the other is elected using ranked-choice voting on a city-wide level. There are also independent cities, which are fully consolidated with the counties they're located in. They usually have their own governments and can pass their own laws and ordinances, as well as have their own militaries and control their borders.
