Stenza is a {{wp|Federal state|Federal}} {{wp|presidential system|presidential}} {{wp|constitutional republic}}, with president [[Iakopo Hsin]] currently holding the office. The Stenzan president is aided by the Democratic Congress, a legislative body that consists of both an upper and lower house. The houses are referred to as the First and Second Council of the Stenzan Democratic Congress respectively, with new laws having to pass through the second house before going through the first. The president still has to sign off on anything passing the houses, and reserves the constitutional to veto bills and sign into effect emergency bills that are not approved by the congress. The Upper Council consists of 100 seats, while the lower has 200. | |||
Stenza's government is highly centralized, with most of the previous totalitarian systems still in place. Regional governments have little autonomy beyond purely regional matters, and the federal government is strongly present throughout the country thanks to regional offices. | |||

law and | Stenzan law has historically been reported as rather fair, with the few outside studies on it indicating it as criminally harsh, yet fair on a civil level. Stenzan law enforcement has been historically known to act outside the law though, with mass imprisonment and disappearances not being uncommon under the previous regime. These practices have recently been outlawed under the new government however, and Stenzan state media has reported that those imprisoned under the old regime have been released and reimbursed. | ||
Stanza boasts two major law enforcement agencies aided by multiple specialized smaller agencies. The [[Stenzan National Police]] is the country's main federal law enforcement agency, being present throughout the whole country for basic law enforcement duties with its regional districts while also providing specialized investigative and tactical services. | |||
Stenza's other main law enforcement agency is the [[Stenza Internal Forces]], this military branch, under the supervision of both the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, acts as a paramilitary force capable of both enforcing Stenzan law and defending the country. The force is both highly mechanized and fully militarized, sporting military uniforms, weaponry and vehicles. These forces were previously known as the Civil Peacekeeping Force, used by the previous regime as a device of terror. | |||
