Government and politics
Atmora is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Empress Henrietta II is the monarch and head of state of Atmora—being the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Atmoran Government. The monarch's powers is limited and in practice, the use of the executive powers is directed by the Cabinet. The cabinet is responsible to the elected Parliament of Atmora and chosen and headed by the chancellor (at present Lysithea van Hresvelg), the head of government. The monarch may, though, in certain crisis situations exercise their power without ministerial advice. The monarch in practice normally appoints the leader of the party that can obtain the confidence of a plurality in the House of Representatives of Atmora.
The monarch appoints all ministers of the Crown, military officers, Governors and High Commissioners, public offices, and so forth. Usually however the monarch will appoint the nominees from her ministers.
The Government is comprised of three branches:
- Legislative: the bicameral Parliament of Atmora, made up of the Senate (upper house) and the House of Representatives (lower house) who are elected by the constituents of their states.
- Executive: the Privy Council and the Council of Ministers, are in which executive powers are exercised. With the Chancellor and Cabinet being appointed members of both the Privy Council and Council of Ministers by the monarch.
- Judiciary: the Supreme Court of Atmora, headed by the President of the Supreme Court of Atmora and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the Monarch
In the Senate, there are 158 senators; 142 from all the states and 16 from the territories. The House of Representatives has 528 members elected from constituencies from the States and territories, allocated on the basis of population of the states and territories.

Foreign Relations
Atmora is recognised as a regional power within Halkeginia and greater Halkeginian Sea area. Due to it's massive military and economic size in comparison to it's neighbouring nations. Under the Chancellorship of Lysithea van Hresvelg, Atmora has sought close ties and intergation with it's neighbours. Funding massive infrastucture projects like the Pan-Halkeginian Railway, the International H-Autobaan Network, Castarcian Sea Tunnel, the Halkeginian Sea Tunnel. Atmora wishes to establish the Halkeginian Union with Castarcia, Vozh, Hespira, Mizuho, and Ryurik Rossiya however meets significant roadblocks in uneasiness of suspected Atmoran dominnance over such an Supranational union.
One the greatest challengers of Atmoran influence in Halkeginia is Aravea, who sees Atmora's rise of influence in Halkeginia as a threat to Aravea's interests within the region. As result these two great powers are locked within a cold war with one another. Ever since the end of the Third Voshan War, Atmora has felt as if Aravea is trying to contain Atmora within their own borders. As Aravea was a major contributor to the decolonisation of the Atmoran Empire, leaving only Mizuho as the last remnants of the Empire. While Aravea and Atmora have begun talks over deescalation between the two states, the War of Ghelen as remained a continuing issue amongst the two states. Since the Aravean Civil War in 1863 till 1946, Atmora held onto the county of Ghelen as a Crown Colony of the Atmoran Empire. Following Atmora's defeat in the Third Voshan War, the county was granted indepedence from Atmora. However insurgents within Ghelen have resisted efforts by the Government of Aravea in reunification. Atmora continues to recognise Ghelen as an indepedent state with David Westenberg, as the Atmoran Ambassador to the Republic of Ghelen. Along with the Olov Malmberg in 2014, handing his credentials to the High Queen in Alexandria as the Ghelen Ambassador to the Atmoran Confederation.
Since the decolonisation of the Atmoran Empire, Atmora and Mizuho have formed the Union State of Atmora and Mizuho (USAM), a confederation between the two states with the monarch of Atmora as the Head of the Union.
