The Constitution of 2025 provides nominal authority to the bicameral legislature to make laws and adopt budgets, but provides significant limitations on their terms and provides the Emperor the authority to appoint or remove members at pleasure. Accordingly, the Emperor is widely viewed to have most political power and authority within the country. The Emperor also has the authority to directly appoint government ministers without need for a confirmation vote by the legislature. Accordingly, the Emperor also has the authority to direct foreign policy and military affairs. | The Constitution of 2025 provides nominal authority to the bicameral legislature to make laws and adopt budgets, but provides significant limitations on their terms and provides the Emperor the authority to appoint or remove members at pleasure.

Alpachnia's elections occur every three years for seats in both legislative chambers. The elections are nominally free and fair and the country's constitution provides for a "multi-party democracy", but in practice Emperor Balu's former political party - the [[Sugondese people|Sugondese]] National Liberation Front (SNLF) - is the dominant political party in the country. Several controlled opposition parties exist within the national legislature. | Alpachnia's elections occur every three years for seats in both legislative chambers.

Although the Emperor is now politically non-partisan, his historical association with the SNLF during his Presidency has made it the de facto "Imperial party" within Alpachnee politics. | ||
