The Republic of Misai is a unitary constitutional republic with the president as the head of state and the premier as head of government. Highest political power in South Misai resides in the democratically-elected unicameral legislature, the Grand Diet (Hanasenese: 大議会, Dai Gikai).

The President of the Republic of Misai (Hanasenese: 美西共和国大統領, Misai Kyōwakoku Daitōryō) is largely a symbolic role but it still retains some appointive powers as well as power over foreign policy however, even this is shared with the Misai Council. The presidency is officially defined as the head of state of the Republic of Misai as well as the head of the Republican Armed Forces in the constitution. Over most of its history, South Misai had a semi-presidential system but in recent decades the powers of the president have been diminished significantly. The current sitting president of South Misai, Ai Obama is the first democratically-elected disabled head of state as she has cerebral palsy and is paralysed from her neck down but retains the use of her right hand.

Executive power in South Misai primarily resides in the Premier (Hanasenese: 美西共和国の首相, Misai Kyōwakoku no Shushō) who wields it with the consent of the Grand Diet. The premier is appointed by the Grand Diet to a term of 5 years that is indefinetly renewable. The premier is usually the individual who is most trusted by the majority of the representatives of the Grand Diet. This means that the premier is most often the head of the largest political party or multi-party coalition. It is up to the Premier to assemble a cabinet whose members are appointed by the president with the premier's recomendation.

Judicial power in South Misai resides in the Supreme Administrative Court (Hanasenese: 最高行政裁判所, Saikō Gyōsei Saibansho), the memebers of which are appointed by the president. Unlike in some other countries, the Supreme Administrative Court is an apolitical institution. A member of the Supreme Administrative Court can serve their an indefinite term, yet most members choose to retire after a de facto term of 20 years.

Legislative power is vested within the Grand Diet (Hanasenese: 大議会, Dai Gikai) that is defined in the constitution as being the wielder of supreme legislative authority within the Republic of Misai. Representatives to the 200-seat Grand Diet are elected every 8 years according to the D'Hondt method. The Grand Diet can draft laws, alter existing laws and the constitution, dismiss the premier or their cabinet as well as override presidential vetoes. The Grand Diet is not subject to judicial review instead, a committee within the Grand Diet evaluates the constitutionality of a given proposal. The Grand Diet can be dismissed by the president with the recommendation of the premier, however, this has never been used since 1988. Before 1988 the Grand Diet was dismissed numerous times when the act was the sole prerogative of the president.
