Government

​

            The government in Palmetrix is considered to be a democracy. At first, when the 56 prisoners founded Palmetrix, the government was a dictatorship. Everyone had to do what the leader of the 56 prisoners, called Maximus Gongo.  He made everyone do what he wanted. The planet’s economy dropped because he made really bad decisions and this was his consequence. Later, the people got very mad and decided to rebel. Then, Gongo died and the people took advantage of this and put order in their government. They all made a group called “The Citizens Have Voice”. This organization helped them to make their constitution and vote for their leader.

            The constitution said all the rules and laws of the planet. They made special sections for each biome because each biome had different laws that the citizens should follow. Also, there was another section for the leader. This section said all the things the leader should or shouldn’t do. Then, the citizens had to choose their leader. They chose by voting. This is how they still do it today. Their vote is secret. In this time, people voted by sending an email to the person that counted the votes. As the population grew, this was not an efficient way to count the votes. Nowadays, Palmetricians developed an application were people can download. In the application the person just has to click on the name of the candidate. After that, they have to take a picture of themselves to make sure that they won’t vote again. The current leader of Palmetrix is Fernand Santmanda. He was chosen this year, so he has 4 years to help Palmetrix be a more successful planet!
