Mydelia is a constitutional monarchy. The crown passes through matrilineal primogeniture. The current monarch is Queen Eleanor of Argea. The current crown princess is Abigail of Argea.
While the monarch is the head of state, political power primarily rests with the people. Every year, the people of Mydelia elect members to the national legislature called the Roche. After these legislative elections, the members of the Roche elect a prime minister to serve as the head of government. As the head of government, the prime minister may appoint their own advisors to serve as cabinet ministers. While the prime minister has broad discretion, their decisions may be rejected by the monarch. However, since the establishment of the kingdom, the prime minister and the monarch have enjoyed close consultation and shared an agenda such that disagreements have been rare and minor.
