High Archduchesss
The High Archduchess, Cyrene III, serves as the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Royal Cosacakayan Defence Forces. The High Archduchess's duties were previously limited as a strictly representative and ceremonial role, but a constitutional amendment passed by the Parliament on 3 November 1994 removed previous the limitations.

The First Minister, Grand Prince Yuri who has been in power since the 2010 Cosacakayan coup d'état, is the head of government and is appointed by Parliament in a special parliamentary vote. The First Minister doesn't select the Privy Council of Cosacakaya but does have the exclusive right to dismiss the Privy Council with approval from a parliamentary committee.
The Constitution of Cosacakaya grants the judiciary independence for other branches of government, but the High Archduchess continues to exercise influence over the judiciary by virtue of the power to appoint judges and oversee both judicial functions and law enforcement.

The government of Cosacakaya has been an accused by numerous human rights activists organisations and watchdogs groups of rampant authoritarianism. Over the last few years - especially since the 2010 Cosacakayan coup d'état - torture, arbitrary detention, and extrajudicial apprehending and detaining suspected political opponents have evolved to become omnipresent. Many critics have described Cosacakaya since the coup d'état to be a full-blown dictatorship.
The Cosacakaya has been constantly criticised over the years for persecuting or detaining human rights activists and independent journalists, censoring websites, arresting anti-regime bloggers, and imposing travel bans. Arbitrary detention, torture, and disappearances of suspected "terrorists" by the Ministry of Internal Affair's intelligence service have been and continue to epidemic throughout Cosacakaya.
Furthermore, the government has none nothing and is suspected of quietly endorsing the discrimination country's non-Eastern Orthodoxy population; especially ethnic Germans and Atheists. Minorities in Cosacakaya, despite promises from the government to make reforms, continually face discrimination at all levels of the government, especially in the form of the disproportionate over-representation of country's Eastern Orthodox population in government ministries.

The Royal Cosacakayan Defence Forces currently have four branches, the Royal Land Force of Cosacakaya, the Royal Naval Force of Cosacakaya, the Royal Aviation Force of Cosacakaya and the National Guard of Cosacakaya. The Royal Cosacakayan Defence Forcesis headed by its Chief of General Staff, subordinate to the Privy Council of Cosacakaya. The Royal Cosacakayan Defence Forces also draws upon the resources of the Royal Military Intelligence Directorate of Cosacakaya.
The Royal Cosacakayan Defence Forces drafts Cosacakayans into the military at the age of 18, with men serving between twelve-to-eighteen months - depending on the branch - before being discharged. Following mandatory service, former conscripts enter the reservist pool and are liable to be called up until their 35th birthday. Women are exempt from conscription. As a result of the Cosacakayan conscription program, the RCDF is capable of mobilising an additional 800,000 reservists at wartime to supplement its active troops. The nation's military relies heavily on high-tech weapons systems designed and manufactured abroad and has no domestic defence industry.
The military has been severely affected by rampant corruption and decay, with limited attempts at modernisation of the Cosacakaya military. In 2018, the Ministry of Defence announced plans to spend up to US$4 billion over the next twelve years, however, the final cost may climb up to $12 billion, to retire outdated equipment and acquire brand new weapons systems.
