The politics of Nova Kovaria take place in the framework of a Parliamentary representative democratic republic, where there is President who fulfills a primarily ceremonial role as the head of state, but with most meaningful executive power held by the Prime Minister as the head of government and the Cabinet. The legislative branch of the government, the Nova Kovarian Parliament, is a bicameral body consisting of the upper house, the 25-member Assembly, and the lower house, the 120-member Senate. As prescribed by the Constitution, members of the Assembly are directly elected by the people through instant-runoff voting, while Senate seats are awarded through party-list proportional representation. There is a 1% electoral threshold for parties to receive representation in the Senate.
Nova Kovaria is a multi-party system, typically split across two traditional ideological blocs. The bloc leaders are currently the National Liberal Party, leading the Liberal and Progressive Bloc and Democratic Party, leading the Center-Conservative Bloc. While historically representing the division between ethnic Tyrnicans and Rytheneans, since the 1970s both parties have been broadly cosmopolitan. Other significant parties include the Center-Conservative aligned Social Sustainment Party, as well as the Liberal and Progressive aligned Kovaria Forward, and the Progressive Party.
Nova Kovaria is broadly considered a matured, full democracy.
