Quetzenkel is a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}}, constructed in a somewhat similar fashion to that of the [[Government of Urcea]]. Per the Constitution of 2016, the King of Quetzenkel is to normally refrain from involvement in the day-to-day affairs of the Kingdom except in periods of national emergency, in which case the King is to act as chief executive with some limitations on his authority; such an emergency state existed from the issuance of the Constitution through [[2026]]. | Quetzenkel is a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}}, constructed in a somewhat similar fashion to that of the [[Government of Urcea]].

Since the establishment of the Kingdom, Quetzenkel has been divided into ten departments and the "Royal District" surrounding the capital city of Akwesasne. Prior to the establishment of the Kingdom, Quetzenkel was divided into forty-five Lesser Chiefdoms; these are still reflected in the titles of the King of Quetzenkel as "Lord of the Forty Five". The Kingdom, as originally configured, included eight departments, with two being added: one from the [[Cetsencalia]] retrocession and one from lands given to Quetzenkel from [[Varshan]] at the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. | Since the establishment of the Kingdom, Quetzenkel has been divided into ten departments and the "Royal District" surrounding the capital city of Akwesasne.

Quetzen culture is significantly impacted by the country's location, as it historically served as a crossroads of the cultural influences of [[Varshan]]i and Nysdro-[[Cusinaut]]i traditions. Most notable among these influences are the [[M'acunism|M'acunist]] religion, the traditional belief system of the Quetzen people, which was almost certainly introduced after the first arrival of the Quetzen ancestors. Accordingly, though most Quetzens have a M'acunist theology, the form of worship tends to be closer to Varshani forms; the sacrifices made in Quetzenkel typically take place at elaborately built and decorated riverside temples than at any riverbank, as is the usual style of worship in Cusinaut. These types of commonalities extend far beyond religion, however. Quetzen cuisine is in many cases indistinguishable from Varshani cuisine, though the eating habits of the Quetzen are particularly unique. Quetzen music also follows the basic form of Varshani music while favoring subjects and lyrical styles more similar to those observed in [[Venua'tino]], suggesting their introduction during the period of Quetzen mercantile domination. | Quetzen culture is significantly impacted by the country's location, as it historically served as a crossroads of the cultural influences of [[Varshan]]i and Nysdro-[[Cusinaut]]i traditions.
