Banana Republic: Court Systems

Courts are divided into District/County Municipal Court, National Superior Court, National Appellate Court, and National Supreme Court. All citations and misdemeanor offenses will be seen by the District/County Municipal Court. Criminal offenses shall be tried at the National Superior Court. Decisions found in the District/County Municipal Court and/or National Superior Court may be appealed to the National Appellate Court for further interpretation. Decisions made by the National Appellate Court my be taken to the National Supreme Court. There is no requirement for the National Supreme Court to hear a case, and may refer back to the National Appellate Court decision. Decisions made by the National Supreme Court are final, unless overturned by the National Supreme Court in the future.

Will the courts be given a clear mandate to interpret the laws? Sounds like you have the trial courts and avenue of appeal sewn up but I wonder if there might not be shenanigans in the future without a clear concept of judicial review. Love the name. Had some of my best times in banana republics. We look forward to dominating your country. Daaarrrgghh!
