Executive power is held and exercised by the President of the Republic, who is head of the government and supreme commander of the military forces of the State. The president is elected by universal suffrage for a term of six years and he can be reelected for a further two consecutive terms. A sitting president can only be removed from office by a qualified majority in the High Council of State. Successive revisions to the constitution have greatly strenghtened the office, while stripping the legislature of many attributions and tools of oversight. The current President is Dong Bao, elected with 68% of the vote in 2026. | Executive power is held and exercised by the President of the Republic, who is head of the government and supreme commander of the military forces of the State.

The council is the nation's sole legislature, composed of six hundred members. Of these, a third are chosen by the sitting president, 330 are elected by direct vote of the population and the remaining 70 are elected from proportional lists according to each parties voting results. All members of the council serve for five year terms and there is no limit on how many terms a legislator can serve. Current criticism of the legislative focuses on its submission to the executive under the current system of dominant party, moreover the abolition of the lower house removed more of the safeguards of plurality and against undue accumulation of authority by the executive. | ||

The National Union of Canpei(NUC) is the largest and oldest party in the High Council of State. An avowed conservative party, it leans towards traditional values and moderate state intervention in economic affairs. However unlike typical conservative parties, the NUC does not heavily feature nationalist themes in its ideology. After the [[Daxia]]n invasion that restored it into government, the party 'sanitized' its foundational documents and adopted an almost subservient direction to [[Daxia]]n priorities. The NUC has a two thirds majority on the High Council. Opposition to the ruling NUC comes from a variety of smaller parties such as the centrist Party of the Democratic Center and the leftist Broad Leftist Front. Both of these parties are under constant political and judicial pressure, losing their party registry several times, having some of their leaders and lawmakers arrested under various charges such as 'slandering the judiciary'. Another smaller party that has gained in popularity with some sectors is the Unification Party, its main goal being unification with [[Daxia]], for reasons of historical ties and claims that Canpei would be much better off economically in a real union with its southern neighbor. | The National Union of Canpei(NUC) is the largest and oldest party in the High Council of State.

Canpei is a net importer of energy at present. Most of its domestic energy production comes from wind generators, which Canpei's flat geography is especially well suited for. Wing energy fulfills at present 35% of the country's domestic energy needs, with enough power generating capacity being planned to come online in the next fifteen years to take that percentage up to 45%. Canpei also has some older coal powered power plants which consume [[Daxia]]n coal, at present they represent some 12% of the country's energy. The rest of the energy is bought from [[Daxia]], which supplies it mostly from the excess power generated by its nuclear power plants. [[Daxia]]n supplied electricity is not cheap, but on this regard Canpei does not have many options other than expanding its wind farms. Canpei does not possess significant oil or gas deposits nor does it have the technical capability to employ nuclear energy, neither do its policymakers wish to rely on coal due to policy goals to employ greener energies. | Canpei is a net importer of energy at present.

Rice is the most important crop in the country and some 40% of land used for agriculture goes to the planting of rice alone. | Canpei is a historical agricultural producer of some importance thanks to the irrigation along the banks of the Hongse river that traverses the country from north to south.
