The government of the Divine Realm of Roqoo primarily functions similar to that of an absolute monarchy, with absolute powers granted to the sovereign. In Roqoo, the sovereign, or head of state, holds the title of Candar, a term borrowed from that of the historic leader of the state Solleu Livot religion. The Candar is elected by a council of Livoti elders for a lifetime appointment. Administrative and legislative functions of the government are largely handled through the Hurskaat (lit. pious ones), a commission of five appointed individuals, all of whom are primate leaders of the Solleu Livot faith.
