Religion
State religious policy in Maroudia is governed by the principle of laïcity, which strictly secularizes public life and state affairs. No religion is allowed special treatment or preferential recognition by statue, and religious groups are expected to refrain from engaging in lobbying or attempting to influence policymaking. In return, religious groups are recognized by the government on purely legal grounds without regard for doctrine or belief. This policy, alongside a general tolerance and indifference towards other religions by Maroyards after the 1968 Revolution, has been credited with producing Maroudia's large irreligious population. Around 38% of Maroudia's population holds no religion; this group is the largest-growing religious demographic in the country.
According to the 2020 Census, the plurality self-reported religion in Maroudia is Virgism, a syncretic !Christian faith practiced by around 39% of the population.

Government and politics
Per the Grand and Sovereign Agreement, which functions as the Union's constitution, Maroudia is ruled as a representative democracy, organized as a federation of X constituent republics under an elected government in the premier-presidential style. The head of the federal government is the Chancellor, appointed by the President and entrusted to form a Cabinet. While the President is responsible for selecting a new Chancellor after new elections, they are not allowed to dismiss them; Chancellors and Cabinet members may only be removed through a successful motion of no confidence in the Parlamento, or Parliament. The system is designed with many layers of checks and balances in mind: at the federal level, power is clearly divided between the President, the executive Government, the justice system and the Parliament. Typically, the governing structures of each of the constituent republics reflects the basic structure of the federal government, though minor differences and diverse applications exist.
The legislative branch is embodied by the Parlamento, the bicameral parliament of Maroudia.
The executive branch is helmed by the President of Maroudia.
The judicial branch is comprised of the federal courts of Maroudia.
The Government is a sort of fourth branch, comprised of executive agencies underneath the Cabinet and Chancellor.
Law
As a federation, Maroudia's laws are divided into federal law, regional law (also known as republic law) and local law. These laws are drafted as civil law; major instruments of law include the Grand and Sovereign Agreement, the Maroudian Civil Code and the Code of Penal Justice, among others.
