Elections and Stuff :
So, partly because of the circuses that are the US primary elections and various other elections going on (like in Ireland), it got me to thinking about political systems and how elections operate in your conworlds, who's elected, and the like (if, of course, they even have elections).
Out of the two countries I have that are the most developed, Ilia's political system is the best-thought, so I figured I'd start by sharing that.

Is <j>'s pronounciation as [dʒ~tʃ] dialectal variation? Free variation?
And what about <j> (palatal resonant)? There's no orthographic difference between <j> [j] and <j> [dʒ~tʃ]?
Although I like carons a lot, and specially above s, if [ɲ] <ny>, then <sy> for [ʃ] would be awesome. Why so few conlangers think of <sy>, by the way?
