Basic Governance Structures
Every nation can be be divided in 3 major branchs:
-
Executive - Responsible for the overall administration of the nation. In our MVN it means: change nation name, change meta data, aprove users to join (if the nation is not set to public).
-
Legislative - Responsible for creating the rules (laws) by which the name functions. In our MVN this means creating and modifying laws. ( A law is just a plain text referenced by a hash/link to ipfs.)
-
Judiciary - responsible for enforcing the rules. In our MVN will be responsible for mediation: removing citizens and canceling laws.
