&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;#REDIRECT [[Government]]The &#039;&#039;&#039;government of Redmont&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;Redmont national government&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Redmont government&#039;&#039;&#039;) is the central government of Redmont, comprised of three distinct branches: the [[Congress|legislative]], executive, and [[Judiciary|judicial]].  The constitution outlines the branches of government and the powers vested in them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the central government, sovereignty over some capacities is awarded to two devolved town governments in [[Oakridge]] and [[Aventura]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legislative branch ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Congress of Redmont is the bicameral legislature of the national government. It consists of two chambers: the [[Senate]] and the [[House of Representatives]]. Legislative authority is vested in the Congress by the Constitution. It represents the will of the people and is responsible for debating, creating, amending, and repealing laws and rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== House of Representatives ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Redmont House of Representatives, commonly known as the House, is the lower chamber of the Congress. It consists of 11 voting members, each elected to serve a two-month term through a single transferable vote (STV) system, as prescribed by the constitution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be eligible for election to the House, an player must have at least 12 hours of active playtime in the past 30 days and 24 hours of total accrued playtime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The House is the sole chamber empowered with the right of legislative initiative and therefore is the only body of government able to introduce legislation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Speaker of the House of Representatives ====&lt;br /&gt;
At the start of each congressional session, the House elects one of its members to serve as the [[Speaker of the House]], who chairs debates, maintains order, facilitates voting, and ensures the timely passage of bills to the Senate. The Speaker may be removed by a supermajority vote of no confidence. The chamber may also elect a deputy to act in the Speaker&#039;s absence. The Speaker’s first act in office is to confirm or amend the standing orders governing the House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Senate ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Senate of Redmont is the upper chamber of the Congress and serves as the house of review. It is composed of 6 Senators, each elected to serve four-month terms. The Senators are divided into two classes, known as Class A, and Class B. Elections to the Senate are staggered so that one of the two classes is up for election every two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be eligible for election to the Senate, an player must have at least 12 hours of active playtime in the past 30 days and 72 hours of total accrued playtime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Senate is responsible for reviewing and voting on all bills passed by the House. It may propose amendments to legislation, although these must be approved by the House before becoming law. The Senate also has the power to conduct impeachment trials, approve or reject presidential appointments to the Cabinet and judiciary, and ratify or withdraw from treaties involving the Commonwealth of Redmont with a supermajority vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== President of the Senate ====&lt;br /&gt;
At the beginning of each session, the Senate elects one of its own to serve as the [[President of the Senate]]. This official chairs Senate proceedings, facilitates voting, maintains order, and ensures the timely transmission of legislation to the [[President of Redmont]]. The President of the Senate may be removed by a supermajority vote of no confidence. As with the House, the President&#039;s first act is to affirm or revise the Senate’s standing orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to their legislative duties, the President of the Senate may assume a temporary executive role in extraordinary circumstances. If both the President and Vice President of Redmont are removed, incapacitated, or otherwise absent, the President of the Senate assumes the powers of a caretaker President. During this period, they continue to hold their position in the Senate and must immediately organise a new presidential election. If the vacancy occurs within thirty days of the next scheduled election, the newly elected President and Vice President serve both the remainder of the current term and the following full term, resulting in a maximum five-month administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Congressional procedure ===&lt;br /&gt;
Members may not serve in both chambers simultaneously. If a citizen is elected to both the House and the Senate, they must resign their House seat and assume the Senate role. Ten days before a general election, Congress enters a caretaker period, during which it refrains from major decisions until the new Congress is seated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quorum for any vote in either chamber requires at least half of the total membership to participate. Voting outcomes are determined by a dynamic majority, meaning a majority of those who cast votes, rather than a fixed number of total members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members may also be removed early from office. Representatives can be removed by the Speaker with the approval of four-fifths of the House (excluding the member in question). Senators may be removed by the President of the Senate with the unanimous consent of the remaining Senators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Impeachment ===&lt;br /&gt;
The impeachment process in Redmont is a shared responsibility between the two chambers of Congress. The House of Representatives holds the sole authority to initiate impeachment by bringing charges against a sitting or former official. If a majority of the House votes to impeach, the matter is referred to the Senate, which conducts a formal trial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To reach a verdict, a supermajority vote of the Senate is required. If the official is found guilty, the Senate may impose various penalties, including immediate removal from office. The Senate may also appoint a presiding officer from outside its own chamber to oversee the trial if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Executive branch ==&lt;br /&gt;
The executive branch of the Government of Redmont is responsible for administering and enforcing the laws passed by the Congress and interpreted by the judiciary. Executive power is vested in the President, who is supported by the [[Vice president|Vice President]], a Cabinet of executive officers, and various government departments and offices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== President ===&lt;br /&gt;
The President of Redmont is the head of state and head of government, serving as the chief executive authority. The President leads the executive branch and is responsible for enforcing laws passed by the Congress, managing government operations, and setting national policy. The office represents the highest level of political leadership in Redmont.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Powers and duties ====&lt;br /&gt;
The President’s authority is established by the Constitution and encompasses several key responsibilities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Election and succession ====&lt;br /&gt;
Presidential elections occur every four months (February, June, and October) using an instant-runoff voting system. Terms commence on the fifteenth day of the election month. Candidates must meet eligibility requirements, including at least four months of citizenship, a minimum of 300 hours of active playtime, and 12 hours of playtime within the past thirty days. A sitting President cannot immediately succeed themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the President becomes incapacitated, is removed from office, or remains inactive without notice for more than seven days, the Vice President assumes the Presidency. Should the Vice Presidency be vacant, the President of the Senate acts as caretaker President, maintaining their legislative role while organising a new presidential election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Veto power ====&lt;br /&gt;
The President’s veto power allows refusal to assent to legislation and must be exercised within fourteen days of passage, otherwise the bill is assumed to enter into law without a presidential signature. If a vetoed bill is presented back to Congress, it may be overridden only by a supermajority in both chambers. For ordinary bills, this requires two-thirds approval, while constitutional amendments require an 80% supermajority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vice president ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Vice President serves as the second-highest-ranking Executive Officer and advises the President. Eligibility criteria are similar to those for the Presidency but require fewer total hours of active playtime. The Vice President may not be the incumbent President. Beyond executive duties, the Vice President presides over the Senate and holds the power to cast tie-breaking votes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cabinet and departments ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Cabinet, composed of the President, Vice President, and Secretaries, functions as the President’s principal advisory body. All Executive Officers derive authority exclusively through delegation from the President. No individual may hold an executive Cabinet position concurrently with a legislative or judicial office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secretaries lead specific government departments, managing operations, staffing, and policy consistent with presidential directives. They are expected to administer their departments impartially and efficiently, and they serve at the pleasure of the President unless removed through impeachment. These departments, staffed by civil servants and officials, execute the day-to-day administrative functions of the government under executive supervision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Judicial branch ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Supreme Court ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Federal Court ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== District Court ===&lt;br /&gt;

Presidential elections occur every four months (February, June, and October) using an instant-runoff voting system. Terms commence on the fifteenth day of the election month. Candidates must meet eligibility requirements, including at least four months of citizenship, a minimum of 300 hours of active playtime, and 12 hours of playtime within the past thirty days. A sitting President cannot immediately succeed themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the President becomes incapacitated, is removed from office, or remains inactive without notice for more than seven days, the Vice President assumes the Presidency. Should the Vice Presidency be vacant, the President of the Senate acts as caretaker President, maintaining their legislative role while organising a new presidential election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Veto power ====&lt;br /&gt;
The President’s veto power allows refusal to assent to legislation and must be exercised within fourteen days of passage, otherwise the bill is assumed to enter into law without a presidential signature. If a vetoed bill is presented back to Congress, it may be overridden only by a supermajority in both chambers. For ordinary bills, this requires two-thirds approval, while constitutional amendments require an 80% supermajority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vice President ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Vice President serves as the second-highest-ranking Executive Officer and advises the President. Eligibility criteria are similar to those for the Presidency but require fewer total hours of active playtime. The Vice President may not be the incumbent President. Beyond executive duties, the Vice President presides over the Senate and holds the power to cast tie-breaking votes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cabinet and departments ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Cabinet, composed of the President, Vice President, and Secretaries, functions as the President’s principal advisory body. All Executive Officers derive authority exclusively through delegation from the President. No individual may hold an executive Cabinet position concurrently with a legislative or judicial office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secretaries lead specific government departments, managing operations, staffing, and policy consistent with presidential directives. They are expected to administer their departments impartially and efficiently, and they serve at the pleasure of the President unless removed through impeachment. These departments, staffed by civil servants and officials, execute the day-to-day administrative functions of the government under executive supervision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Judicial branch ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Supreme Court ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Federal Court ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== District Court ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Voting ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Town governments ===&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Pharmacists manafacture and sell medical treatments to DemocracyCraft players via private businesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Abilities ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pharmacists are legally allowed to manufacture and sell pharmaceutical medical treatments to players privately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can also view the following information that regular players cannot:&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;/disease list&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;: Provides players with a list of diseases and their cures.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;/health&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;: Allows players to check if they have a disease. Normal body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Temperature:&#039;&#039;&#039; Check the patient’s temperature. Normal temperature is 37. Higher is hot, lower is cold. Advise patients accordingly:&lt;br /&gt;
** Hot: Remove armor or stay in a cold environment like water.&lt;br /&gt;
** Cold: Put on armor, seek shelter, or stand near a fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pay ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pharmacists run private businesses, and do not recieve a government paycheck. They can set their own prices for their services and/or goods.&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;what-pharmacists-do&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What Pharmacists Do ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pharmacists play a vital role in DemocracyCraft by providing essential medical treatments to players. Here’s what pharmacists typically do:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Manufacture Treatments&#039;&#039;&#039;: Pharmacists craft various medical treatments to treat common ailments such as broken legs, flesh wounds, and more. These treatments are essential for players seeking medical assistance.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Sell Medical Goods&#039;&#039;&#039;: Once the cures are crafted, pharmacists can sell them to players privately. This role helps ensure that players can access critical medical treatments outside [[the hospital]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Resource Gathering&#039;&#039;&#039;: To create medical treatments, pharmacists need to gather resources, either by purchasing them from player shops &#039;&#039;or&#039;&#039; collecting them in the wild.&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;treatment-guide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Recipes ==&lt;br /&gt;
To make treatments, you must craft them in a crafting table using the following recipes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Recipes can be found using /recipes&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; The following treatments are available for pharmacists. Other treatments for diseases like tetanus and culicid fever are exclusive to doctors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pharmacist Exam ==&lt;br /&gt;
The pharmacist exam is currently being prepared and will be located at the Hospital, rather than at the [[University]] as with the other jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What to Do After Passing the Exam ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you’ve passed the exam, consider purchasing a plot and building a store or renting a shop to sell your products. You can find available plots for sale or lease in the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;#realty-adverts&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; section on our Discord server. Alternatively, you can look for companies to work with through [https://discord.gg/Q8rNjddjjh DC Jobs].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To gather resources, you can either buy them from player shops with the [[Find|/find]] command, or collect them in the [[wild]]. (Check &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;/map&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; if you’re looking for a specific biome) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Player driving a car.webp|thumb|426x426px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Learn about the essential traffic laws, getting a vehicle, and car management.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you pass the exam, its your qualification to keep!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;figure&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;laws&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Laws ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be a responsible driver and follow traffic laws, here are some key rules:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Always drive on the right side of the road, and follow directional arrows if it’s a single lane.&lt;br /&gt;
* Drive only within marked road areas to avoid careless driving fines.&lt;br /&gt;
* Never drive under the influence to prevent penalties.&lt;br /&gt;
* Park properly; improper parking may lead to vehicle impoundment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;acquiring-a-car&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Acquiring a Car ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cars are valuable, so stealing one is against the rules. Visit the Vehicle Dealership near Essendon Train Station to buy one. Mechanics can craft cars, but it’s costly. Consider buying from players or companies for a better deal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;using-a-car&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Using a Car ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only the owner can interact with the vehicle. Make sure you have enough space in your inventory. Here are the actions you can perform:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shift left-click: Refuel the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shift right-click: Pick up the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
* Right-click: Get inside the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
* Right-click while in the vehicle: Open the trunk for storage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Fuel recipe.png|thumb|Recipe for fuel.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fuel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your vehicle needs fuel to run! Buy it from gas stations or other players! If you have the mechanic profession you can craft it yourself using 4 emeralds, 4 coal, and 1 bucket. (Only mechanics can craft fuel, if you don&#039;t have the profession make sure to head to the university to pass the exam and become one yourself!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;figure&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;conclusion&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Conclusion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Driving offers freedom, and you can impress your friends with your new car. Good luck on your Driver’s License exam!&lt;br /&gt;
