The politics of Jendea takes place within the framework established by the constitution. The country is a unitary parliamentary republic in which devolved governments enjoy a moderate degree of autonomy and residuary powers. Executive power is divided between the National Council and the elected Prince. The President and Vice President work with the bicameral parliament and the judicature, both are ex officio members of the lower house of the Mantaia. Stipulations set by the constitution provide a reasonable check and balance of sharing powers between executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government, giving the Mantaia and High Court sufficient power to prevent a malevolent dictatorship forming under the Prince-President.
The government is independent of the legislative branch that consists of a bicameral parliament. The Upper House is the Senate whilst the Popular Assembly is the lower house. The Judicial branch forms with the composition of the High Court as the apex court, alongside the superior courts and other minor courts. The judiciary's function is to interpret the Constitution and federal laws and regulations. The President, in their capacity as Prince, are a member of the High Court. Typically this is delegated to another individual, although Celayaundi and Beingoolea participated in over 95% of their sessions, representing the third highest attendance rate.
