Example answer: Valkyria operates with a mixed-member proportional representation system for the National Assembly, but a majoritarian instant-runoff voting system for Chancellor.*

Beepee uses multi-ward proportional system based on the Hagenbach-Bischoff quota system for both camera (120 seats lower, 24 seats upper)

Due to the large number of parties, The largest party then seeks a coalition government.

None. Elections and multipartitism are a counter-revolutionary ruse to divide the people.  Happywide

I think majorityism.?.?.?. Let me explain.
The Parliament elections are nationwide, and are first-pass-the-post. 500,000 votes gets you 1 seat in Parliament. However, 1 parlimentary member from each state is required.

Majoritarianism is when a candidate needs a majority of votes (50%+1 vote). The system you are describing—first-past-the-post—is plurality, when you need the most votes to win.

The two houses have IRV majoritarian and STV proportional.

The president is not directly elected, but instead decided by the two houses.

Mixed- each state determines what process they use for the election of their Electors. Some do it where each member has a district, some do it where they use party list, and one uses a mixed system where 2/3rds are elected by the local parliament and 1/3rd are appointed by the monarch fo that same state.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

Members of the People's Council are elected via a majority system, and the high councillor is appointed by The Peony.

The Peony is not elected, but can be overthrown by the People's Council upon meeting several perquisites. Ministers are also chosen by the Peony, but can also be overthrown by the People's Council. Members of The People's Council changes every 2 years, and Those in a seat with the last number being odd, shall be changed in an odd year, as which would apply to those in a seat with the last number being even, in an even year.

Presidential election: The President of Bzerneleg is elected for a four-year term, directly by the people. Presidential elections in Bzerneleg use the two-round system in which in order to win the election, a candidate must obtain an absolute majority of votes (50%+1). If no candidate managed to obtain an absolute majority on the first ballot, the 2 candidates with the greatest number of votes will stand in the second ballot 14 days after the first ballot.

Legislative election: The House of Representatives and Senate of Bzerneleg use the First-past-the-post (FPTP) system in which the candidate who receives the most votes wins the election.

GI-Land got a mixed proportional system (OOC: so maybe I put my vote in the survey wrongly on "Mixed", although it's more "Proportional") which is based on Mixed-Member Proportional and STV.
