The state is in the process of establishing a tax-funded public healthcare subsidy to cover 50-70% of in-hospital costs and 30-50% of general practitioner costs for its citizens in conjunction with private insurance. Scheduled for a full rollout in 21209, Sydona's would be the twentieth state healthcare subsidy of its kind in the Federacy.

In 21207, Amendment XXXVI to the [[Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy]] was ratified. This amendment created the office of the [[Second Executive of the Kiravian Federacy]], a {{wp|designated successor}} analogous to a Vice-President or Second Minister in other countries. Due to interest in ensuring that the Prime Executive and Second Executive would be in different locations in the event of a nuclear exchange or other catastrophe, Amendment XXXVI requires the Second Executive to reside in Sydona. The first Second Executive, Xavier Pretannon, was appointed by [[Andrus Candrin]] later that year and took up residence at the Methryn Hall estate 20 kilometres north of Destransar.
The [[Emergency Backup Executive]], a {{wp|designated survivor}} elected to lead the Federacy's {{wp|continuity of government}} efforts in the event that all other constitutional successors to the [[Prime Executive]] are killed or incapacitated in a catastrophic event, has their official residence at the Prehnite Hill Tracts on Grand Sydona.

Like other Kiravian states, Sydona is entitled to maintain its own local defence forces. The Sydonan People's Army is responsible for air and land defence, and the Sydonan People's Navy functions as the islands' {{wp|coast guard}}, discharging roughly the same responsibilities in Sydonan waters as the [[Kiravian Littoral Force|Littoral Force]] does in the Home Islands.
