The Luepolan government consists of three branches: the Luepolan Assembly, which is the legislative body of the government; the Executive branch, which is composed of the President, Vice President, cabinet, and most government agencies; and the Luepolan National Court, which is the highest judiciary body in the nation.

The Luepolan Assembly (Luepolan: Ľupolski Sbor) is a bicameral legislature which consists of two houses. The Sliet consists of four representatives from each state, who are voted into office by the representatives of the Lower House. The Lower House, officially known as the High Assembly of Luepola (Luepolan: Veliki Sbor Ľupoloj) consists of over two hundred representatives that represent the states based on population, and whose representatives are voted into office through public elections. Representatives in both houses serve four-year terms and are restricted to three-term limits. The legislative body has the collective power to propose and pass legislature, to permit or deny peace treaties, and to declare war on another nation. The senate also has the power to override a presidential veto on a piece of legislature, provided a 2/3 majority is reached. If a 3/4 majority is present in the original vote, the vote pre-emptively overrides a possible veto from the president. The senate also has the power to decide if a president is to be impeached, and to approve of a presidential nomination to the High Court. The leader of the Sliet's majority, whether a coalition or single party, is appointed as the Prime Minister of Luepola.

The Executive Branch consists of the President, who is elected by popular vote in a runoff election. The President is the Head of State of the nation. The President appoints personal advisors to his cabinet, who function as the heads of the various government agencies. The President is the ceremonial Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The President is also responsible for signing bills passed in the Assembly, or vetoing them. The President also appoints judges to the High Court, though they must be approved by the Assembly. The President can serve up to three four-year terms, though all presidents elected since 1985 have served for two terms at most.

The High Court is the supreme judiciary body of the nation, and handles cases that have been appealed past all regional courts. The High Court also determines whether a bill is permissible according to the Luepolan Constitution, and is in charge of handling impeachment cases. Judges are appointed by the President and approved by the Assembly, and may serve for a maximum of thirty years, though these terms may be cut short by voluntary retirement or death. A judge cannot be legally removed from his position except by his own retirement or by term expiration.

Luepolan Armed Forces

Main article: Luepolan Armed Forces

The Luepolan Armed Forces are composed of five branches: the Ground Forces (Luepolan: Vojsko Zemľe), the Air Force (Luepolan: Luftsila), the Navy (Luepolan: Flot), the Expeditionary Force (Luepolan: Vojsko Otpravke), and the National Security Force (Luepolan: Sila dľa Bezopasnosťe Strane). Each branch is commanded by a Marshal. The entire armed forces are commanded by the Armed Forces' Grand Marshal. In addition, Luepola has de facto control of various paramilitary groups, the most notable of which is the Overseas Forces (Luepolan: Vojsko Přémorsko); an armed group that consists of non-Luepolans fighting for Luepolan interests abroad.

The Land Force is statistically the largest branch of the Luepolan Armed Forces, and considered to be the most potent. The ground forces cover all aspects of land-based combat, from urban fighting, to artillery, armored warfare, and mechanized maneuvers. The ground forces also operate helicopters and small numbers of attack aircraft.

The Navy is the second-largest branch of the Luepolan military. The Navy operates various surface vessels and submarines, as well as helicopters and ground-based anti-ship missiles. It is responsible for carrying military equipment and soldiers long-distances, as well as engaging enemy fleets, defending and patrolling Luepolan waters, and supporting ground forces wherever possible. The Navy also operates three ballistic-missile submarines, which form the first of Luepola's two nuclear-armed strike forces.

The Air Force is the third largest branch. It operates all types of fixed-wing aircraft, as well as ground-based air defense systems and small numbers of helicopters. The Air Force is also responsible for any Luepolan military operations conducted in Low-Earth Orbit; however, no military operations have taken place in space in Luepolan history. Furthermore, the bombers of the Air Force form the second nuclear-armed strike force, and the larger of the two.

The SBS is the fourth-largest branch of the military, and serves as the home guard for Luepola. It also handles other domestic issues, such as humanitarian and counter-terrorism operations, and defending the nation in the event of an invasion, including organizing armed paramilitary and partisan groups.

The Expeditionary Force is the smallest branch of the military, though still respectfully large. The Expeditionary Force is a combined-arms branch, operating fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, maritime craft, and armored vehicles, and is responsible for cyber warfare operations. Furthermore, Special Command Group (Luepolan: Befielsgruppa Pekuljarna), the command organization for Luepolan Special Forces groups, falls under the jurisdiction of the Expeditionary Force. It is considered the most elite of the five branches.
