HOW DOES IT WORK?

In order to ensure the proper working of the government, there would be a separation of power, where the government would be divided into three different branches namely the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. This helps the government work better because each branch is legally restricted to performing checks and balances on each other, and since they are all independent no one branch can obtain power over the other two branches. This separation of power prevents all the power going to one branch and hence prevents a dictatorship. Additionally, since, Terra Nova is a democracy, it builds a stable administration mainly because the people who are working the government have been elected by the people. Hence, in order to be elected again in the next term, the government has to work efficiently. Additionally, since it is a democracy, the people have the power to change the government, if the majority feel that the government is not fulfilling the ideals and reason that they were elected for.  In addition to all this, since it is a democracy, the people are the ones electing the representatives, hence they are more aware of the working of the government, this also forces the government work better as they know they are under greater scrutiny. Similar types of separation of power exists in many different countries around the world, including US, UK, Spain, and other democratic republican countries around the world.
