State Governments
There are many ways to have a republican form of government; indeed, the old Canadian states retain the Westminster style and have premiers, while their governors are popularly elected, but have very little power. It is the same with Jamaica and the Caribbean states, and for a time popular in the West coast states.

The legislatures of each state are elected through various means; the most common is to have the lower house of representatives elected by proportional representation, while the upper house is elected by single-member districts. Some use PR in both houses, while others use first-past-the-post for both. Nebraska, Minnesota and the former Canadian provinces are unicameral.

Because the Senate is appointed by the legislatures of each state, the old problem of split legislatures reared its ugly head again. Each state must choose senators two at a time, and there are several ways of doing this: one is to have each chamber elect one senator. Another way is to allow the senators to be elected by a sub-majority or Droop quota, which is 1/3 of the vote or greater in each house.

The states have much more leeway than in the previous regime, since the Union Senate is not popularly elected, and furthermore each senator has the Sword of Damocles that is legislative recall hanging overhead. Each state manages its own health care system, some better than others, and Union intervention is rare. Unlike the old popularly elected United States Senate, the new Senate can only review legislation, not propose it. Money bills may be vetoed, even line-by-line, but that is all it can do.

All state governors are popularly elected, and some can veto legislative bills, while others must give their assent to legislation. Furthermore, in the case where a President-General dies in office, the state governors form a Presidium that runs the executive, until Congress and the Senate elect a new President-General.

The judicial branch of each state consists of a high court, headed by a chief justice, who becomes a member of the Union's Supreme Court. Chief and puisne justices are appointed by the legislature or are directly elected, depending on the state.

=Economy=

Overall
Highly advanced, by a considerably margin the largest economy in the world. The North American Union uses a market-oriented economic system, with private individuals and businesses making most of the economic decisions and governments prodominantly buying its required goods and services in the private marketplace. The NAU's development saw a major shift in resources to integrating the economies of the nations of the union and improving the living standards of poorer areas, and due to effective management and abundant resources, these efforts have been highly successful. The NAU also saw a massive resurgence in manufacturing industries, a trend which has been actively encouraged and nutured by federal and state governments, while still being far more open to competition than some industrialized nations. In addition, these efforts, along with extensive resource utilization and massive investment in new technologies in the fields of energy and infrastructure by both government and private business, has erased the trade deficit once suffered by most of the nations of the North American Union, though large debts remain an issue despite balanced budgets every year since 2007. Political changes in the 21st Century have seen much more extensive labor, environmental and business regulations placed upon businesses operating in North America, though this has in many cases ultimately ended up improving the competitive state of many of these businesses. The North American Union as of 2025 has an immense trade surplus, which is largely being used to continue infrastructure programs and further industrial development, with the largest trade relationships being with Japan and the European Union, though several emerging markets, particularly Brazil, India and South Africa, are also getting attention. In recent times, as well, American money has been funneled back into many nations with which the North American Union has good relations.
