Question+ Model
How are decisions made?Historically assemblies and councils of citizens with short-term magistrates; today ranges from parliamentary democracy to dominant-party rule.The Prime Minister is formally responsible for Diella; the Constitutional Court states AI cannot change who exercises public power or bears accountability.
How are conflicts resolved?Civic courts and councils; external disputes through leagues, alliances or larger powers.Opposition challenged the decrees before the Constitutional Court, which dismissed the request on 8 October 2026; its full reasoning is pending.
How are public goods funded?Defence, port and market infrastructure, urban services, funded by trade and commercial taxation.Aims to improve public-service access and reduce discretion in public procurement.
How is AI used?No inherent AI role; modern city-states such as Singapore invest heavily in digital government.Chatbot and voice assistant on e-Albania; a procurement system tender was still being prepared in August 2026.
What are the main risks?Exclusive citizenship, factional strife, elite capture and vulnerability to larger states.Unclear accountability for an AI 'minister'; no AI law yet; no published technical detail; AKSHI's leaders face a tender-rigging case.CLM-0359
