===Politics===

Medaria has a multi-party system where the biggest parties are the conservative Christian Union of Medaria (CUM), which has dominated politics since 1960 and won every election since then, and the center-left Left Union (LU). The Tikatan green party, is represented in the parliament as well. Tikatan's liberal party, the [[Togheter for Tikata]] and the Free Voters are represented in Medarias's parliament as well. CUM and TFT agreed in October 2008 to form a coalition, while LU, Free Voters and the Greens form the opposition.

In the [[Medaria state election, 2004|2004 elections]] the CUM won more than two thirds of the seats in House of Representatives - something no party had ever achieved in Tikatan history. In the following [[Medarian state election, 2008|2008 elections]] the CUM lost its absolute majority for the first time in 42 years.

This loss is probably attributed to its push for an anti-smoking law, the most stringent in Tikata, which became one of the most controversial laws ever enacted in Medaria. As result, the CUM changed its stance and weakened the anti-smoking law to allow some more loopholes.
