The Republic of Palau's National Congress is known as the Olbiil Era Kelulau
(OEK), which means "House of Whispered Decisions." The Congress consist of two
houses which sit for four-year terms. The House of Delegates has 16 members,
one from each state. The Senate has 13 members selected in a nationwide
election.
Judiciary Branch
The Judiciary applies laws of the Republic of Palau and administers justice
when deciding disputes. It strives to provide high quality customer service and
improve workforce conditions. The Judiciary also seeks to improve the quality
of its decisions, judicial efficiency and the effectiveness of its procedures
and policy by automating the whole judicial system including the Court of Common
Pleas, the Trial Division, the Appellate Division, Disciplinary Proceedings,
Special Proceedings, and the Land Court.
With these branches it seems like Palau has a very similar government system to the United States as well. Palau, atleast, is highly influenced by the US. Throughout this project we see the similarities in education, and government systems. This proves the amount of influence that the U.S has over Palau.
