Aetolia is classified as a non-partisan parliamentary republic. The Aetolian Republic's unicameral legislature is the Gerousia, also known as the Senate. Candidates for the Senate run independently and are elected in nation-wide elections. Despite the non-partisan nature of the Republic, Senators tend to group into "blocs" of similar political beliefs, though these are unofficial and as such don't have a central leadership. Candidates for the Senate must be at least 23 years old and must have completed their 2-year military service. The Aetolian Senate is composed of 600 Senators.


Chalcia is a unitary parliamentary republic. The nominal head of state is the President of the Republic, who is elected by the Parliament for a five-year term. The current Constitution was drawn up and adopted by the TBD Revisionary Parliament of the Chalciaνs and entered into force in TBD. It has been revised three times since, in TBD, TBD and TBD. The Constitution, which consists of 120 articles, provides for a separation of powers into executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and grants extensive specific guarantees of civil liberties and social rights. Women's suffrage was guaranteed with an amendment to the TBD Constitution.
The executive branch of the Aetolian Republic is formed as a consensus government. The Senate appoints the cabinet from among its own members, and the Prime Minister, acting as both the head of state and the head of government, is chosen by the elected cabinet members. According to the Constitution of the Republic, the cabinet is suboordinate to the Senate which in turn represents the People's Will, and as such holds no veto power in the legislative process. This can only change in times of national crisis or war. Both the cabinet and the Senate serve 4-year terms. The current Prime Minister is Leonidas Stavridis, who follows a social democratic agenda and was elected in 2018.


According to the Constitution, executive power is exercised by the President of the Republic and the Government. From the Constitutional amendment of TBD the President's duties were curtailed to a significant extent, and they are now largely ceremonial; most political power thus lies in the hands of the Prime Minister. The position of Prime Minister, Chalcia's head of government, belongs to the current leader of the political party that can obtain a vote of confidence by the Parliament. The President of the Republic formally appoints the Prime Minister and, on his recommendation, appoints and dismisses the other members of the Cabinet.[101]
In regards to the judicial branch, the supreme court of the Republic is the Court of Cassation, or Supreme Court. The members of the Court of Cassation are appointed by the Senate and on paper serve for life, but are required by law to retire at 70 years of age. The Council of State is the supreme administrative court of Aetolia, and led by its President, which is appointed by the Senate.
 
Legislative powers are exercised by a 500-member elective unicameral Parliament. Statutes passed by the Parliament are promulgated by the President of the Republic. Parliamentary elections are held every four years, but the President of the Republic is obliged to dissolve the Parliament earlier on the proposal of the Cabinet, in view of dealing with a national issue of exceptional importance. The President is also obliged to dissolve the Parliament earlier, if the opposition manages to pass a motion of no confidence.

{{Main| Chalcian Armed Forces}}
The official military combined military forces of the Chalcian Republic are refered to as the Chalcian Armed Forces. The total number of personnel in the Armed Forces as of 2015 is roughly 401,200 men and women, though this number can theoretically rise dramatically during wartime. Chalcian Armed Forces consist of three service branches: the [[Chalcian Army]], the [[Chalcian Navy]] and the [[Chalcian Air Force]], all under the Chalcian National Defense General Staff. 
Most equipment of the Chalcian army is of foreign manufacture and origin, with the main suppliers being.... Hoever, in recent years, the Chalcian Arms Industry has been developing several projects, some of which recently entered service.
The Chalcian Army is by far the largest of the three branches, with roughly 300,000 personnel. It is mainly organised in a Brigade-centered structure. These Brigades form into Divisions, which in turn are included in an Army Corp. The Chalcian Army is organised as a force that can fight an unconventional war in the uneven terrain of the country's centre and east, and conventional maneuever warfare in the more open south and north. The army operates a large variety of equipment, ranging from state-of-the-art main battle tanks like the Leopard 2A6M to older upgraded equipment like the M48A5 MOLF. Apart from the regural units, the Army also includes the Chalcian special operation forces known as the Mountain Raider Companies or LOK (Greek: ΛΟΚ - Λόχοι Ορεινών Καταδρομών, Lochoi Oreinōn Katadromōn).
The Chalcian Air Force is the second largest branch of the Armed Forces, with 60,000 servicemen/women. The Chalcian Air Force operates 712 aircraft, including modern 4th generation mutlirole aircraft such as the F-16D Block 52+ and upgraded versions of older types such as the F-4E AUP. The air force has recently launched a competition for a new fighter to replace older models. The current competitors are the F-15C, the F/A-18C/D, the Dassault Rafale and the Sukhoi Su-30SM.
The Chalcian Navy is the smallest branch of the miltary, with some 41,200 personnel. It operates a total of 80 naval vessels, including destroyers, frigates, corvettes and smaller ships such as patrol boats and  fast attack missile boats. The Navy also maintains a force of three Marine Brigades, and a special operation force, the Underwater Demolition Command (Greek: Διοίκηση Υποβρυχίων Καταστροφών) abbreviated as DYK in Greek.

Candidates for the Senate run independently and are elected in nation-wide elections. Despite the non-partisan nature of the Republic, Senators tend to group into "blocs" of similar political beliefs, though these are unofficial and as such don't have a central leadership. Candidates for the Senate must be at least 23 years old and must have completed their 2-year military service. The Aetolian Senate is composed of 600 Senators.

The executive branch of the Aetolian Republic is formed as a consensus government.

According to the Constitution of the Republic, the cabinet is suboordinate to the Senate which in turn represents the People's Will, and as such holds no veto power in the legislative process. This can only change in times of national crisis or war. Both the cabinet and the Senate serve 4-year terms. The current Prime Minister is Leonidas Stavridis, who follows a social democratic agenda and was elected in 2018.
