The Democratic Republic of Andaluni, most commonly known as Andaluni, is a nation in the Coalition of Crown Albatross located on the continent of Adula, bordered by Kuresa, Skith, Raviannas and Quetana, as well as a lake-border shared with Mulfulira. It is a constitutional monarchy although its title of "Democratic Republic" stands despite the presence of a monarchy. The country is led by Prime Minister Jacobs Ursanta. The current King, Refujio Garmulan, is a figurehead and does not hold significant political power.

The country is not considered a regional power, although it holds significant cultural and historical influence in the region and is largely respected and honored by its neighbors. Andaluni has trade agreements with all of its neighbors and is classified as a tax-haven with its largely centrist form of economic policies and isolation as a landlocked nation.

Prime Minister of Andaluni Jacobs Ursanta

Andaluni is a parliamentary democratic republic with a multi-party system. The last parliamentary elections were held on 29 February 2020 and two rounds of presidential elections took place on 16 and 30 March 2019.

The Andaluni head of state and the formal head of the executive is the president (currently Zuzana Capolva, the first female president), though with very limited powers. The president is elected by direct, popular vote under the two-round system for a five-year term. Most executive power lies with the head of government, the prime minister (currently Jacobs Ursanta), who is usually the leader of the winning party and who needs to form a majority coalition in the parliament. The prime minister is appointed by the president. The remainder of the cabinet is appointed by the president on the recommendation of the prime minister.

Andaluni's highest legislative body is the 150-seat unicameral National Council of Andaluni. Delegates are elected for a four-year term on the basis of proportional representation.

Andaluni's highest judicial body is the Constitutional Court of Andaluni, which rules on constitutional issues. The 13 members of this court are appointed by the president from a slate of candidates nominated by parliament.
