Volonia is a {{wp|constitutional republic}} governed according to the principles of the Constitution of 1970. The Constitution features a {{wp|Presidential system}} under the leadership of a National Tribune and a {{wp|bicameral}} legislative body, consisting of the House of Tribunes, which represents certain geographical areas and social institutions, and the National Assembly, which represents the population at large. Elections for the National Tribune are held every four years beginning with the 1970 election. Both houses of the legislature are elected to four year terms, but their elections are staggered, with the House of Tribunes electing during the election cycle of the National Tribune and the National Assembly electing during the other even numbered years between the Tribunal cycle. Volonia is a {{wp|unitary republic}}, but it does have specific geographic areas, known as tribunates, with uneven populations which are represented in the House of Tribunes.
