As with all other Cartadanian states and the federal government, Trentino's government is based on the separation of legislative, executive, and judicial power. Executive authority in the state rests with the [[Governor of Trentino|governor]], currently Brian Kemp (Republican). Both the [[Governor of Trentino]] and [[Lieutenant governor of Trentino|lieutenant governor]] are elected on separate ballots to four-year terms of office, limited to two terms. Most of the executive officials who comprise the governor's cabinet are elected by the citizens of Trentino rather than appointed by the governor.
Legislative authority resides in the [[Trentino General Assembly]], composed of the [[Senate of Trentino|Senate]] and [[Trention Chamber of Emissaries|Chamber of Emissaries]]. The Lieutenant Governor presides over the state's senate, while members of the Chamber of Emissaries select their own speaker. The Code of Trentino sets the number of senators at 40, each of whom is elected from single-member districts. It also mandates a minimum of 100 representatives, apportioned among the representative districts. The state currently sits at the legally defined number of 40 senators and 100 representatives, each of whom serves two-year terms with no limit. Trentino's law mirrors heavily off of its origin state, [[Verona]]'s law (although the laws of the states do tend to vary), and although the state codifies many laws which would be more in place with "Commonwealth Law", Trentino is not a commonwealth.
Trentino's judges and justices who make up the state's judicial system are elected by a majority vote in both the Chamber and Senate with approval from the governor, one of the ways Trentino's executive has more power than its legislative, although the General Assembly is able to overrule the governor with a majority vote in both houses. Judicial authority rests with the [[Trentino Supreme Court]] (TRESCO) and [[Court of Appeals of Trentino]] (COAT). In addition, there are smaller courts that have more limited geographical jurisdiction, including Circuit Courts, the trial courts of general jurisdiction, and the lower Superior Courts, which house Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts and General District Courts. The Supreme Court has seven justices who serve twelve-year terms, with a mandatory retirement age of 75. The supreme court selects its own Chief Justice from among its seven justices, who is limited to no more than a twelve-year term as Chief.
