A Map of the Pokemon Middle Kingdom

Politics[]
The PMK is a meritocratic monarchy, meaning that appointments and responsibilities are objectively assigned to individuals based upon their "merits", namely skills, intelligence, credentials, and education, determined through evaluations or examinations, having the highest ranking person become the ruler of the PMK, with few to no legal restrains. The King remains on their possition until either resignation, or being unable to rule due to mental or health problems. After a King has been destituted, the next in the meritocratic line is elected.
The King is advised by the Royal Council in different areas. Council members are chosen through different meritocratic methods, depending on the skills and knowledge needed to carry out each job. Administrative decisions are usually taken care of by the Council, them having to vote on every decision. For a specific legislation to come in effect, there needs to be a total of 8 votes in favor. Each councilor has one vote, and the expert in the area of the legislation being passed, has two votes. If a legislation has an equal number of votes in favor and votes against, it's the King's job to make a decision.
The idea of having this system is to keep power away from one person, and have it divided into different areas in order to avoid unlawful use of it.
The Council is conformed by:
The Councilor of Economy
The Councilor of Education
The Councilor of Health
The Councilor of Culture
The Councilor of Peace
The Councilor of Agriculture
The Councilor of Technoogy
The Councilor of Energy
The Councilor of Environment
Each Region of the PMK has it's own local administration that has to abide to the PMK's council law. This local administration vary on every region, but they mostly consist of a meritocratically elected official and a handful of advisers.
Economy[]
The PMK's economy is mostly driven by it's food export .
