The president of Puertego is the head of state and government in Puertego and serves in six-year terms with a term limit not being set by the constitution meaning the president can serve as long as he keeps getting elected. The current president of Puertego is Matthias Torres of the Puertegan White Flag Communist Party who has been in power for 22 years having kept his position since 2008. The president is responsible for appointing ministers for all the ministries in the Puertegan government as well as having the powers to decide budgets, sign treaties, veto bills, and grant pardons along with being able to extend someone's prison sentence by up to 10 years. So far in its history Puertego has had 3 presidents all having been members of the WFCP. President Torres has claimed that he plans to hold the presidency until he is 70 at which point, he will not seek to be reelected anymore.

The president of Puertego is constitutionally the head of state and government in Puertego as well as serving as commander in chief, on top of that the constitution puts the president at the head of all ministries in Puertego and gives him the power to appoint ministers as well as decide budgets, sign treaties, veto laws, and grant pardons. The incumbent president of Puertego is Matthias Torres who is the third president of Puertego and has served in the role for 22 years, he has won every election he has ran in with margins in the mid-eighties every time, he has been criticized by international organizations and by some foreign governments as a dictator though he has constantly denied these claims every time they were levied against him.

===Federal subdivisions===

Puertego is ruled as a unitary state with individual states only existing for the purpose of elections and not being able to operate with any autonomy on their own. The electoral boundaries are drawn by a committee in the National Assembly with members appointed to it directly by the president, so far almost all districts in the country have shown at least some signs of being gerrymandered. Puertego also has one federal district in the capital of San Lina.

===Politics===

The political scene of Puertego is dominated almost entirely by the Puertegan White Flag Communist party (~~WFC~~) which has maintained a virtual monopoly on political power in the country since 1997. The political culture in Puertego is generally regarded as oppressive with the country operating under a dominant party system where there is no enshrined singular party allowed to run but due to various factors a singular party holds control over a country, this is shown in Puertego by the WFC currently holding all but 12 seats in the National Assembly due to the electoral system which places them on all national ballots by default while any party running against it must collect at least 5,000 signatures and pay the equivalent of $10,000 before it is allowed to run, additionally they have also been known to subject opposition parties and opposition party leaders to harassment, legal charges, and sometimes even violence with one infamous case being where opposition leader Sebastian Tarranoga attempted to run his party against the incumbent WFC, after collecting the required signatures and paying the required fees the government declared that a quarter of his signatures were acquired invalidly and wouldn't accept his application until he collected another 5,000 signatures and paid another $10,000 plus $4,500 in fines causing him to not seek to run further due to financial circumstances, Sebastian reported that his signature collectors were repeatedly harassed by police with two even being murdered though the government officially listed their deaths as being gang related.

===Law===

Puertego operates under civil law though with very little judicial independence and the courts being much more subordinate to the legislature than in most other countries with civil law, the 1997 constitution of Puertego is considered the supreme law of the country consisting entirely of written text with no unwritten conventions on it being considered legitimate. The Constitution of Puertego primarily covers the roles of different government bodies and the powers they have but the constitution also lists various rights the citizens of the nation have such as freedom of assembly, speech and freedom of the press however the government has repeatedly and often blatantly ignored these rights it guaranteed in the constitution. All manners of law in Puertego from criminal to family and property are considered federal responsibilities to enforce and uphold as is law enforcement with the government spending 12% of its budget on law enforcement in the country. The Puertegan government has the authority to declare any trial they see fit to be taken to a secret court where the media is unable to report on it.
