Sarzonia's government structure was based loosely on the RL United States. It has since evolved into somewhat of a unique situation.

The President remains the head of state and the de jure head of government. Technically, the Cabinet Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents report directly to him or her. The President still signs or vetoes legislation, with Parliament retaining the right to vote to override vetoes. However, the President can delegate authority to sign non-budgetary legislation or legislation considered by Parliament to be "low leverage" legislation to the Lieutenant President for his or her signature.

The Lieutenant President is the de facto head of government, having been delegated the authority to run Cabinet meetings. Recent legislation removed the authority of the Lieutenant President to vote to break ties in the Senate. The Senate President now reserves that authority.

The office of Senior Vice President and External Affairs Officer is essentially equivalent to the U.S. Secretary of State or the foreign ministers of various countries. However, the office holder is next in the line of succession after the Lieutenant President, and is now constitutionally bound to assume the authority of the office of Lieutenant President in the event that person is elevated to the Presidency. The previous title of Senior Vice President and Internal Affairs Officer has been demoted to a vice presidency, with essentially the authority of the U.S. Interior Secretary mixed with the authority of various state secretaries of state. In other words, that office is additionally responsible for certifying election results, ratification of additional articles to the Sarzonian constitution, etc.

Sarzonia recently separated the office of Deputy Vice President for Health Services into the office of Surgeon General and has elevated it into a Cabinet level position and into the line of succession.

The most dangerous natural predator in the Confederacy of Independant Nations and Guilds is the bandersnatch. Measuring an average of 50 feet long from nose to tip of tail, the bandersnatch is a large, six-legged predator covered in quills. Despite its size, bandersnatches are hardly clumsy; in fact they are swift, and have very fluid movements. They are known to utilize stealth; moving incredibly silently through all manner of terrain, stalking their prey. The shape and coloration of a bandersnatch lends well to serving as natural camouflage, serving them well during the nighttime hours when these creatures prefer to hunt.

Bandersnatches cause widespread damage every year, destroying buildings and knocking over trains. Each year, bandersnatches are believed to kill an average of 35,000 people. On several occasions, the Confederate Red Army has been called in to take care of bandersnatches, using cannons and artillery to kill the the creatures.
