Government
The Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka is a unitary semi-presidential republic that is governed on the basis of a multi-party democracy wherein the President of Vistulzka is the head of state and shares power with the Marshal of Vistulzka as the head of government. The government is structured as a multi party representative democracy that takes specific ideas from Common Good Government. The current form of government of Vistulzka originated as the Vistulzkan Republic during the Vistulzkan Civil War. The 1940 Constitution of Vistulzka was the codification and stands as the current governing principles and establishing document of the Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka.
The official name of Vistulzka is the Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka. The idea of an orthodox republic is considered to be the evolution of a common good government. Orthodox Republicanism emerged during the Political Odrodzenie as a new political ideology.
The president is elected via a popular vote for a four-year term and is only allowed to be elected to the position twice. The president is responsible for the appointment of his marshal and the head of the ducal council during the election cycle. Once elected, the President is able to appoint members into the Ducal Council. Appointment of members into the Ducal are entirely by the president and is not subjected to review or approval by the legislative branch. However, the legislative branch is freely able to dismantle the Ducal Council with a Council of Confidence that is initiated by a censure vote. Within Vistulzkan politics, a censure vote requires 2/3rd of a majority within the Sejm. The success of a censure vote has severe political consequences for a presidential government, and the creation of a Council of Confidence severely limits the power of the executive branch in general. Alongside the dismantling of the Ducal Council, the office of the Marshal is vacated and replaced by the Speaker of the Sejm.
The National Legislature of Vistulzka is the bicameral legislative of the Vistulzkan branch, comprised of the upper house Sejm and the lower house Sejmek. Both houses are elected through direct democracy at a local level.
Vistulzka has historically been a hotspot for new political organizations and radical political ideologies. Since the end of the Vistulzkan Civil War, three governing parties make up the dominant political bloc, the New Republican Coalition. Orthodox Republican Party (PPR), Blue Cross Party the Chruściel-Orange Republican Party (PRJP) have ruled the country since the end of the Vistulzkan Civil War. Under the administration of Józef Kamiński, it has been postulated that Vistulzka is in the beginning stages of democratic backsliding.

Education within Vistulzka is centralized and operated by the Department of Education and is divided into four sections: kindergarten, primary, secondary, and tertiary higher. Responsibility of educational oversight is placed primarily on the voivodeship government. The organization of educational standards is established by the Committee of Educational Standards, which represents states. Committee members are selected from a voivodeship's Board of Education and elected by the teachers of the voivodeship. Kindergarten attendance is optional and is aimed primarily for children aged two to five. Primary education begins at the age of six and is compulsory.
The overwhelming majority of higher education institutions, which make up the tertiary higher section of Vistulzkan education are public. Students must first pass the Wejście, but are entitled to study without paying any fee. The National University of Vistulzka was founded in 1225 by Ziemomysł III in Wełnica as the first tertiary higher education institution within the country. It has since become the largest and oldest university within Vistulzka, and remains one of the oldest continually operating universities within the country.
