Vallejar is composed and divided into a few levels of administration to maintain the unity and [[Economy of Vallejar|austerity]] of the state, which has greatly helped the country's economy and the quality of life of the citizens themselves.

Vallejar's official form of government is an [[Absolute Theocratic Monarchy]], since according to the [[First Constitution of Vallejar|constitution]] national sovereignty resides in God and is represented on earth by the King.
