Politics
The politics of Buckingla takes place in a framework of a federal parliamentary republic, wherein the Prime Minister is the head of government.
The President, currently Irmahn Schindenheim, is the head of state but with largely ceremonial powers. Executive power is exercised by the government. Federal legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament. On the basis of Article 78 of the 1994 Buckingla Constitution, the Judiciary is completely independent of the executive and the legislature. In 2015, the realities of this provision were questioned in a report prepared by Freedom House.
According to the Democracy Index published by the Quetana-based Intelligence Unit in late 2010, Buckingla was an "authoritarian regime", ranking as the 118th-most democratic out of 167 countries. Buckingla had dropped 12 places on the list since 2006, and the 2010 report attributed the drop to the government's crackdown on opposition activities, media and civil society before the 2010 parliamentary election, which the report argued had made Buckingla a de facto one-party state. However, since the appointment of Herschal Meriam as prime minister in 2018, the situation has rapidly evolved.
