Truk is unique in [[Daxia]] in that it is governed by an almost fully autonomous administration and legislature. These bodies have complete authority regarding lawmaking, taxation and expenditure; the exception to their powers are the areas of national defense and relations with foreign policy which are handled from [[Mirzak]]. The unicameral, sixty-seat Legislative Diwan is elected once every four years by single non-transferable votes from fixed constituencies. The District Governor is nominated by the largest party (must be a member of the Diwan and is usually the party leader) in the Diwan and must be ratified by a simple majority; he may be unseated by a two thirds majority vote. The Daxian government may employ a veto on national security reasons, but it has never been used. Currently the government is led by a coalition of the local [[People's Justice Party (Daxia)|People's Justice Party]] and the [[Party of Daxian Democrats]]; together they have ~~forty one~~ seats in the Diwan.

Recently an uptick in support for political Islamism has been registered in Truk, especially on the islands of Anako and Hutau. Currently the largest opposition party in the Diwan is the Islamic Development Party, who numbers within its political program the implementation of strict Sharia law, a ban on alcohol and the inclusion of corporal punishment in the criminal code; among other items.
