Fariva is a {{wp|semi-presidential republic}} with a single legislative body, the Stanora, which is elected biannually. Executive power is vested in an Executive College (also referred to as the "Cabinet"). The Cabinet is jointly led by a Chief Executive, who is elected by four years by {{wp|alternative vote}}, and a Chancellor elected every two years by the Stanora. The other members of the Executive College are appointed by the Chief Executive in consultation with the Chancellor and his camp in the Stanora, and can be dismissed either individually by consent of both the Chancellor and the Chief Executive or collectively with a vote of no confidence by the Stanora. | Fariva is a {{wp|semi-presidential republic}} with a single legislative body, the Stanora, which is elected biannually.

The crime rate in Fariva is usually above the Federal average, and comparatively high rates of violent crime affect certain New Coscivian, Kópistonian, and Gaelic ethnic enclaves in the Béyasar metropolitan area. Organised crime has a major presence in the state, and is thought to have significant influence on municipal and state politics. The Institute for Accountable Government lists Fariva as the fifth most corrupt state in the Federacy, behind Kesta and the other leading industrial states of [[Etivéra]], [[Devalōmara]], and [[Niyaska]]. | The crime rate in Fariva is usually above the Federal average, and comparatively high rates of violent crime affect certain New Coscivian, Kópistonian, and Gaelic ethnic enclaves in the Béyasar metropolitan area.

A number of factors are thought to explain this legal régime, including the state's early industrialisation and its struggle to manage a large and diverse urban population, strong municipal governments, the pervasive influence of progressive and Instructionalist ideas during high modernity and Kirosocialism and an appetite for technocratic policymaking, the relatively stronger influence of Protestant moralism, and the general absence in Taństan Coscivian culture of the attitude of ''[[kētka]]'' ("slack"). Fariva introduced the Federacy's first {{wp|seatbelt law}} and has the lowest maximum speed limit (100 kmph) of any state. | ||
