Power structure laws
Power structure laws determine who is in control of different aspects of the country.
It includes fundamental Governance Principles such as monarchy and parliamentary republic, which determine who will be the nation's head of state and what kind of powers they wield.
Distribution of Power ranges from autocracy and oligarchy through various extensions of the voting franchise all the way to universal suffrage.
Citizenship and Church and State laws govern which pops suffer legal discrimination in the country due to their culture or religion.
The principles on which Bureaucracy is run – such as hereditary or elected positions for bureaucrats – determine how expensive it is to keep track of each citizen and how much institutions cost to run, but also directly benefit some groups over others.
Army Model determines what type of military the country uses, and Internal Security governs how the home affairs anti-insurgent institution works.
In the following tables, the Interest group stance column shows the support of interest groups with their default ideologies. Since the ideology of an interest group may differ from the default (in particular due to its leadership), law support may change too.
