The Government of Keldava functions unlike other constitutional monarchies, in that the head of government also is the upper branch of the bicameral legislature, a group of 10 officials that make up the National Council. This council is led by the Chairman, who is elected by the people every four years, who then duly appoints the Council, usually out of their own party shadow ministers, or out of previous ministers. The head of state of Keldava is the monarch, the Karlius, a position which is mainly hedietary, although the monarch can be voted out if the Chairman of the Council triggers and emergency vote, with 2/3 or more consent by the Chamber of Deputies, and then the Council will vote by majority to remove or replace the monarch. The Chairman of the National Council can be removed by the Council, if any member of the Council calls a vote with must have 2/3 consent or more by the Chamber of Deputies. In times of war the Monarch is given executive authority and may dissolve either legislative body without consent, but if the Monarch wishes to dissolve either in peace, they must seek majority consent from the other legislative branch. The Monarch cannot dissolve both at times of peace. The Chamber of Deputies is elected by the people every 4 years, however they are elected based on racial groups. It serves as the lower house of legislature. The nation operates on a federal system, and is divided into 8 staats, as well as 3 spallands, territories for spalvosi only.

National Overview: The society of the Confederation of Keldava is a peculiar and controversial one. Known for being a socially conservative, and fiscially right-wing country, the Confederation of Keldava is open to economic and technological modernization but generally disapproves of social liberalism and modern rights views. The nation is rooted in historical struggle and hardship, but also pioneering of colonials that has led to modern society looking back on the proud history and making moves to reincarnate it into modern culture in Keldava. Another figure of this is Keldava's racial laws. Keldava has a large population of native Neinxl people, who have inhabited the nation for thousands of years. Due to the fact that they made intelligent deals with colonials in the early Euclean days, they have not been exterminated and the old racial policies have conserved a large majority of natives. Black slaves from Asteria also began arriving in the late 18th century leading to a large modern population of Kelo-Blacks. The racial laws were modernized in 1932, creating a policy of separation into baltapas (whites), spalvosi (colored; includes natives), and Juodasi, blacks. These groups vote separately, they are not allowed to marry a person of another group, they live, pay and work separately, among other elements of society shaped by race. The Keldavan National Christian People's Party (KNKLP), which continues to lead Keldavan politics, proceeds to sponsor these laws, along with the Monarchy.
Social views:
- General population's view on gay rights/gay people: Homosexuality is outlawed in most forms. Although punishments aren't major, re-habillitation camps have been established on the matter, though the use of them is declining and a legally better view is being taken towards gays.
- General population's view on religions other than the primary one: No, since there are two major religions, plus many more minor ones.
- General population's view on atheism: Frowned upon socially, especially by native religions.
- General population's view on abortion: Illegal except in extreme cases, and socially frowned upon. Charged as murder of a non-citizen
- View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): No, because there are three major ethnicities and the racial laws prevent much physical prejudice internally
- Any big prejudices in your nation Not really. Some native religions or folks might have certain unofficial laws that may be prejudice, but nothing national.
- View on immigration into country: Generally frowned upon, especially if categorization of immigrants is difficult. Most immigrants will not gain citizenship, and will not be allowed to marry in most cases, seeming that nobody else in the world is a native Keldavan, that being the majority ethnicity.
- Women's Rights: Women are generally given the same rights as men, but on the paygap the government's stance is "women's rights yes, but business' rights too"
- Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs:Tobacco is discouraged by most, although widely used in pipes. Alcohol is sold commonly, with Keldavan vodka being the finest around. Marijuana is illegal, although in special cases can be used medicinally.
