The politics and administration of Hollona and Diorisia take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democracy. The country is a federation and is governed under the Federal Agreement of [[1945]], which has statutory power as the country's constitution. The nation's construction as a federation has major implications on how the executive and legislative branches of government are shaped. The Union is divided into two entities, the Republic of Hollona and the Republic of Diorisia, which have significant self-governing powers and control over local policy. | The politics and administration of Hollona and Diorisia take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democracy.

The State Union Council, the upper chamber of the legislature, is represented by five members from each of the two Republics, and from this body the Speaker-President is elected, serving three year terms. This State Union Council serves in a limited executive capacity, voting primarily on matters of state recommended to it by the Popular Assembly. The Speaker-President serves as the {{wp|head of state}} of Hollona and Diorisia. Speaker-Presidents may not serve consecutive terms. By convention, the Speaker-President flips between each of the two republics on an alternating basis, though this arrangement is not expressly stated within the Federal Agreement. | The State Union Council, the upper chamber of the legislature, is represented by five members from each of the two Republics, and from this body the Speaker-President is elected, serving three year terms.
