===Commonwealth government===
Teschego is governed in similar form to a republic and has three main branches of government; the executive branch, which is headed by the Commonwealth Governor, a legislative branch, which consists of the Commonwealth Legislature, and a judicial branch, which consists of the unified [[Teschego Imperial Court]]. The Governor of Teschego is directly elected via popular vote and serves a five-year term, with a two term limit. The current governor is [[Taiya Ani]], who is currently serving her second term. The next election for Teschego's governor will be in 2037. The unicameral [[Teschego Legislature]] consists of 56 delegates, who are elected from fifty-six constituencies across all four qoyalets, which are based primarily on the population of said qoyalets. Legislative bills and resolutions are mainly biased towards more populous areas, due to the number of delegates representing those districts as opposed to less popular rural areas. The judicial branch of Teschego consists of the Teschego Imperial Court, along with the [[Teschego Appeals Court]]. Judges at all level of the judiciary are selected by partisan vote, with the remaining vacancies being appointed by the Governor. Teschego is very conservative, with the far-right [[Conservatôi uniólai Terranóc|CuT party]] consistently holding a lot of political positions in the commonwealth over the years. Most Teschegan voters lean towards fiscal conservatism and hold mostly socially conservative values.
In the [[Government of Tierrador|Imperial Government]], Teschego is represented by 16 delegates in the [[Qangreč]].
===Local government===
Teschego's system of local government is complex and extensive, managing different public functions throughout the commonwealth. Similar to the other commonwealths, Teschego is further devolved into qoyalets, which do not have as much power and authority over a commonwealth government, however they do control some aspects of their jurisdiction in cooperation with parish governments. Teschego consists of four qoyalets, with the possibility of a new fifth qoyalet on Obrina Island being split from the Akúsatine qoyalet, though this has not been made official yet. Some qoyalets have a small legislature, of which 3 in Teschego have them. All of them elect a Qoyalet Premier, which serves as its head of state and government. Qoyalets typically provide services such as jails, health care, public safety, voter registration, flood control, agricultural regulations, and education departments meant to uphold commonwealth standards.
Qoyalets are further divided into parishes, of which there are 39 total in Teschego. Parish governments typically have the same amount of power as qoyalet governments, though parish governments have exclusive authorities over some services that qoyalets have little to no power in. These services include law enforcement, vital records, property assessment and records, tax collection, social services, libraries, fire protection, animal control, and building inspections. In addition, parishes also serve as the ''de facto'' jurisdiction of most unincorporated areas in the commonwealth. Parishes do not have a head of state or government, and are governed by an elected board of supervisors.
===Law enforcement===
Similar to the rest of Tierrador, Teschego has two types of law enforcement; local police, whose jurisdiction consists of their respective parishes, and the [[Teschego State Patrol]], whose jurisdiction consists of the entire commonwealth. The State Patrol's jurisdiction regularly overrides the jurisdiction of the local police, which has caused some issues between both sides in the past. Like in most commonwealths, some have even called for the abolishment of all state patrols, with the argument that they are unnecessary and the local parish police stations are able to govern their jurisdiction without need for the commonwealth's help.
