Rylland is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The Prime Minister, along with the Monarch will be in charge of the Ryllandic Armed Forces. The Prime Minister will be elected in 2 years. The Royal Family, also called the Yalungka Family is the main house of Rylland. Rylland is also a federal state, since the provinces of Rylland have governors, which can be voted on the parliament during the governor elections and/or the prime minister elections. Rylland has went through government changes over the years until 1978, when democracy returned to the country. These government changes ranges from republic, monarchy, federal republic, absolute monarchy, CIA-backed military juntas and US-backed dictatorships.

The Head of State and Executive

The executive branch has two main leaders. The Monarch, officially known as the King of Rylland is the head of state, which will reign from 6-12 years before abdicating and their heir being the next king to the throne, and the Prime Minister of Rylland, which is the head of government of the country, appointed by the Monarch, and being democratically elected and rule for 2 years. The Monarch has the power to dissolve Parliament or circumvent it by submitting referendums directly to the people. The Monarch can also appoint Head of Parliament and Head of Senate, as well as judges and civil sergants. The Prime Minister has the same power as the Monarch, except they will appoint Commanders-in-chief and generals of the Ryllandic Armed Forces, as well as being responsible for foreign relations and affairs to the country. The Prime Minister is responsible of stabilizing the politics of the country, as well as funding government spending and trade. The Prime Minister is also responsible for appointing and dismissing members of the parliament and senators of the country, as well as ministers and members of the Chamber of Representatives and also represents Rylland in international diplomacy.. Both the Monarch and the Prime Minister of Rylland can create laws and policies as well as making decisions and referendums.

The Cabinet is composed of ministers appointed by the Prime Minister, each responsible for specific areas such as foreign affairs, defense, finance, and health.

Legislature

The Ryllandic Parliament consists of a Senate and the Chamber of Representatives. The Senate represents the interests of regions, provinces, or states. Senators may be appointed based on the recommendation of the Prime Minister or directly elected, depending on Rylland's specific system. The Senate serves as a revising chamber, reviewing and suggesting amendments to legislation passed by the Chamber of Representatives. While the Senate can delay or amend bills, it cannot ultimately block legislation passed by the elected Chamber of Representatives. Senators often represent broader regional or national interests rather than local constituencies. In some cases, they may be appointed for life or serve fixed terms, depending on the system in place.

The Chamber of Representatives is directly elected by the citizens of Rylland. The number of representatives is determined by population, ensuring proportional representation. This chamber has primary legislative authority, including passing laws, approving the national budget, and making decisions on domestic policies. The Chamber of Representatives can propose and debate laws, and the Prime Minister and Cabinet are accountable to it. Representatives are elected by the people, ensuring that the legislature reflects the interests and will of the population. Elections are held regularly (every four years) through a system of proportional representation.

The Chamber of Representatives and the Senate work together to pass laws. While the Senate can suggest amendments, it is the Chamber of Representatives that has the final say on most legislation.

Judiciary

The judiciary in Rylland is independent of both the monarchy and the political branches of government. The Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority, ensuring that laws and government actions comply with the constitution.

• Supreme Court: Justices are appointed by the monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister or a special judicial council. They serve for life or until they retire. The court has the power to strike down laws that violate the constitution.

• Lower Courts: Regional and district courts handle most legal matters, from criminal trials to civil disputes. These courts operate independently of the government to ensure fairness and justice.

Political Parties

Rylland has a multi-party system with several major political parties, often reflecting a broad spectrum of ideologies. The Ryllandic Parliament consists of 950 seats and over 50 political parties, the largest and most popular parties being the Roses of Rylland (ROR) and the Social Democratic Party of Rylland (SDPR). The Ryllandic Parliament building is located near the Golden Palace, the official residence of the King of Rylland. The last election was in July 16, 2024, with the SDPR being victorious. The upcoming elections were scheduled at July 8, 2026. The SDPR is allegedly accused by multiple citizens of Rylland for vote rigging, corruption, heavy use of name-calling propaganda, false accusations, and supporting extremist groups in Baldoland and Lunaritania to spread violence in the two countries. Other political parties of Rylland include the Indigenous Party of Rylland, the Communist Party of Rylland, the Greens, the Progressives, and the Conservative Party.

These parties form coalitions to govern, especially if no single party holds a clear majority in the Chamber of Representatives.

Local Government and Overseas Territories

Rylland is divided into regions or provinces, each with its own local government. These governments are responsible for handling regional issues such as education, health care, transportation, and local infrastructure.

• Provincial Governors: Each province elects a governor who oversees the administration of the province.

• Regional Assemblies: Each province has its own legislature, which handles local laws and regulations.

The powers of provincial governments are subject to the constitution, ensuring that national laws take precedence when necessary.

While Rylland's thirteen provinces were divided into 189 districts, some districts were given more autonomy and ethnic rights just like the republics in the Russian Federation. Some notable examples of these districts were: Phinbelia, Bacsia, Sannginivut, Linguria, Fagia, Appendern, Bealtia, etc. Some islands of Rylland were autonomous islands and overseas territories, meaning that they were not belong to provinces, nor districts. Examples include Coromey, Natta, the Rock Islands Archipelago, Binyi, and Sunder. These islands were governed and administrated by the Prime Minister of Rylland, and the Ministry of Geography. However, since Binyi and Sunder were a part of Phorland Province, they were autonomous islands, but not overseas territories. Coromey is also a part of Honeylandia, meaning that Coromey is an autonomous island, and not an overseas territory. Quincy Island meanwhile is a self-governing country in free association with Rylland, but it's still count as an overseas territory. Natta is the only island of Rylland to be both an autonomous island, and an overseas territory. However, Natta and Kuranok were classified as dependency territories instead.

The Diamond Islands were disputed by Hosanna due to the presence of oil, and Elisa and the Turience Islands were disputed by the United kingdom, with Rylland also claiming a Monaco-sized island named Acoloune, a British overseas territory, although the two countries planned to resolve the Elisa and the Turience Islands by turning it into a condominium in 2025.

Rylland uses a mixed electoral system for elections to the Chamber of Representatives and Senate:

• Chamber of Representatives: Members are elected through a system of proportional representation, with citizens voting for political parties or individual candidates. Elections are held every four years.
