Government and Coordination Systems

Government Structures 

The capital of Globalland, Kerlanvarse, is the centre of gravity for all national ministries. 

The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) is the mandated government bureau responsible for the overall coordination of emergency response operations within Globalland.

The Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC)  is the primary government body responsible for coordinating and overseeing humanitarian assistance nationally across Globalland. 

The Ministry of Social Welfare is the body within central government responsible for leading on social development programmes domestically, supporting vulnerable populations within Globalland such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, migrants, and those affected by the conflict. The Ministry is separate, but closely linked to, the Ministry of Urban Planning and the Ministry of Migration.  

Political Parties

  • There has been a history of free elections in Globalland since the republic was formed, however, their transparency and credibility has been contested.
  • Traditionally, the two major political parties are the Globalland Republican Party (currently in office, representing the ruling elite) and the People’s Progressive Party (largely representing the poorer populations and ethnic minorities).
  • Current President Karobsen has been in power since the end of the civil war, in 2012, which some have become to see more as a dictatorship as his reigns continues with no mention of ending his term in office.
  • In recent years, the power relationship appears to have shifted between the government and the independent security force known as the "Versatile Support Brigade" (VSB), situated in central Savale Region, with the latter claiming to represent the “true voice of Globalland citizens” and becoming increasingly emboldened in criticizing the Karobsen regime.
