Ceylonia is separated into thirteen provinces and a single independent city, the capital city of Santa Maria, located at the northern end of the Baía dos Cocos. Under the Ceylon Constitution, the provinces have an elected provincial government composed of the Provincial Governor and the Provincial Assembly. The governor constitutes the executive body, proposes budgets, and creates decrees, resolutions, and provincial programs. The Provincial Assembly, the provinces' legislative body, debates and votes on budgets, supervises provincial elected officials, and is able to hold votes on removing the governor, deputy governor, or any member of the assembly from office if they see fit. The provincial governor and the Provincial Assembly serve a term of four years, without immediate reelection. These governments plan regional development, execute public investment projects, promote economic activities, and manage public property. The city of Santa Maria is administered by a municipal council, headed by a mayor. The purpose of devolving power to regional and municipal governments was to improve popular participation and give Ceylonians a greater since of community. NGOs played an important role in the decentralization process and still influence local politics, though remain in check under the national government's regulation. Some areas of Ceylonia are defined as metropolitan areas which may overlap political boundaries and extend into several provinces. The largest of them, the Santa Maria metropolitan area, is the seventh-largest metropolis in the Cronan continent.

Ceylonia's foreign policies have mostly been heavily influenced by its two progenitor nations: Cartadania and Tierrador. Ceylonia joined the [[League of Nations]] following its independence in 1964 and the [[Cronan Commonwealth Development Organization|CCDO]] in 2030, alongside [[Cartadania]] and [[Tierrador]]. Historically, the Ceylonia has mostly followed the foreign policy of Cartadania due to its ties to Alahuela and Cartadania's continued presence in the nation and Crona, broadly. However, during the 1950s and 60s, it began to align its foreign policy and relations with Tierrador, all while still keeping close ties with the Sarpedonian power. Approaching the 70s, Cartadania again began to increase influence in Crona and strengthened its diplomatic involvement with Ceylonia, shifting the policies and relations back toward that of Alahuela.

Ceylonia has remained neutral during the events leading up to the [[Occidental Cold War]] as well as the war itself and most other conflicts, though, there are a few exceptions. During the [[Akwachee War]], Ceylonia gave its support to Tierrador and provided passive support during Tierrador's invasion of [[Republic of La Plazal|La Plazal]] in 1965. It also was indirectly involved in the [[Mosquito War]], where it once again provided passive support to Tierrador in its campaign against [[Istrenya]]. In the 21st century, Ceylonia participated in assisting its Cronan neighbors and [[Occident|Occidental]] peers in the [[The Deluge|lengthy conflict]] against [[Zurgite Varshan|Varshan]] in Central and Northern Crona through various indirect means.
