Direct Democracy
A system in which citizens decide laws directly through referendums, popular initiatives, assemblies and recall of officials, instead of delegating to representatives, as in the Swiss cantons and classical Athens.

- Strong · Federal
Niya Structure
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy definition includes “power decentralized to municipalities and cantons”. Territorial autonomy, confederation or jurisdictional competition bears directly on where public decisions reside.
- Very strong · Democracy
Ayane Representation
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy definition includes “citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials”. Popular decision-making and recall bear on democratic authorization; restricted membership can still limit who participates.
- Leaning · Liberty
Wakamo Power
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify the permissible use of public coercion versus protected personal autonomy. The form of government does not alone establish the extent of surveillance, repression or civil liberty.
- Balanced
Balanced Immigration
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify minority membership, migration and the coexistence of cultural identities. Shared economic interests or a universal philosophical ethic do not alone specify immigration or cultural-integration policy.
- Leaning · Pacifist
Mari Diplomacy
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify the political role of organized armed force and acceptance of war. Domestic coercion, economic state intervention and national pride do not by themselves establish militarism or pacifism.
- Leaning · Non-interventionist
Hina Intervention
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify coercive foreign projection into other peoples or states. This axis concerns foreign intervention, not nationalism, domestic regulation, cultural confidence or military preparedness alone.
- Balanced
Balanced Economy
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify ownership of productive assets, land and enterprises. Welfare spending, moral solidarity and expert administration do not by themselves abolish or privatize productive ownership.
- Leaning · Free market
Fuyu Control
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify how production and allocation are coordinated through plans or decentralized exchange. Public ownership can coexist with markets, and private firms can operate under directed planning.
- Balanced
Balanced Trade
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify cross-border trade, capital flows and economic integration. Domestic market freedom and international cultural solidarity are different claims from a free-trade policy.
- Leaning · Secular governance
Kei Religion in governance
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify whether public rules and political authority are grounded in religious doctrine. Personal faith, atheism, religious identity and rejection of a state do not alone establish the source of public rules.
- Balanced
Balanced Morality
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify public attitudes toward inherited customs, family, gender and social change. Economic redistribution, technological novelty and a religious affiliation do not uniquely determine every moral position.
- Balanced
Balanced Technology
Rationale
Our Direct Democracy model centers on citizens to decide laws through referendums, popular initiatives and recall of officials, with power decentralized to municipalities and cantons. That core does not specify the priority given to technological transformation versus ecological or bodily limits. Historical age, rural life and scientific reasoning do not by themselves establish acceptance or rejection of all technology.

Abydos Student Council
Restored student councilAbydos's council once dwindled to Yume and Hoshino. Ayane's witnessed election in Volume 1 Chapter 3 restores its presidency and upholds the school's contract, bringing the Foreclosure Task Force into the council. Hoshino later accepts the presidency; together they exercise school-asset and administrative authority and support the railway's restoration.
