New Veltorina is a {{wp|unitary republic|unitary}} [[Julian republic]] with a {{wp|unicameral legislature}}. It is governed by the Constitution of 2028, which took effect Jan 1 of that year following a [[New_Veltorine_Provisional_Government#Constitutional_convention_and_elections|convention and ratification process]] that took place in 2026-27. As a Julian republic, the Veltorine constitution is modeled on the form of the [[Government of Urcea|Urcean government]], which employs different offices each for the {{wp|head of state}}, the {{wp|chief executive}}, and the {{wp|head of government}}. | New Veltorina is a {{wp|unitary republic|unitary}} [[Julian republic]] with a {{wp|unicameral legislature}}.

Unlike most other Julian systems, New Veltorina employs {{wp|civil law}}; accordingly, the National Convocation is the final court of appeal and the judicial system is largely made up of appointed arbitrators rather than a freestanding court system. Some courts are established in the largest cities, such as [[New Taxades]]. | ||
New Veltorina is an officially {{wp|ethnostate|ethnic state}}, and the Constitution of 2028 provides that it is a state "by and for the Veltorine people". As such, it provides that the three main roles of state can only be held by an individual who has "demonstrable ancestry to the Veltorine people of northeastern [[Sarpedon]]", but it provides that indigenous Cronans and others may serve as members of the National Convocation. Although the state is stated to be constructed "for the benefit and protection of Veltorines", the Constitution of 2028 and protocols under the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] provide for civil rights for minority groups. However, the strength of those protections has been questioned by international observers and by authorities within NSTA. Discrimination, though nominally illegal, is viewed to be one of the serious political and governmental problems of the New Veltorine state, though much of this occurs in on an individual or organizational basis rather than at the state level. Protection of indigenous farmers and mountain peoples added to the New Veltorine state by the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Treaty of Electorsbourg]] is an ongoing concern for New Veltorina's foreign allies and partners, especially [[Urcea]]. | New Veltorina is an officially {{wp|ethnostate|ethnic state}}, and the Constitution of 2028 provides that it is a state "by and for the Veltorine people".
