The High Kingdom of Ossoria is a federal state that is governed within the framework of an executive monarchy in which the monarch, currently High Queen Tara Ní Sionán, is the head of state while the Taoiseach of Ossoria, currently Innis Ní Gearailt, is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the Monarch. Legislative power is vested in the tricameral Ossorian Parliament. The judicial system is independent of the executive and the legislature. The highest court is the High Bench of the Realm.
The Ossorian political system is a multi-party system, with the two dominant parties being the Crown Nationalist Party and the Social Progressive Party. Due to the mixed-member proportional electoral system used in parliamentary elections, majorities are rare, making coalitions with third-parties necessary to deliver working majorities in parliament, with the CNP and SPP typically working with the Centrist Party to form a government.
The constitution of the High Kingdom is uncodified, being made up of custom, precedent, treaties, royal decrees, constitutional conventions, statutes and other elements such as international law.
