Unlike the [[Government of Urcea#Province|provinces]] of [[Urcea]], the Archduchy of Urceopolis functions using a parliamentary model rather than a federal presidential model. The Royal Parliament of Urceopolis functions as the primary government for the Archduchy. Upon advice of the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]], the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] appoints a Governor-General for the Archduchy. Unlike the Grand Duchy of Yustona, where the Governor-General has some authority and is a partisan selection, the Governor-General of Urceopolis holds little executive authority and is typically a non-partisan selection selected among a pool of younger but established politicians; an example of this style of appointment comes from the 2010s, when the [[National | Unlike the [[Government of Urcea#Province|provinces]] of [[Urcea]], the Archduchy of Urceopolis functions using a parliamentary model rather than a federal presidential model.

The Royal Parliament is lead by the Archducal Chancellor, whose responsibilities within the Archduchy represent a slightly more powerful version of the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]] on the national level. The Archducal Chancellor has full control over the Parliamentary government, and serves as majority leader of the Parliament in addition to serving as head of government. The Royal Parliament - and other Archducal government offices - are based in [[The Praetorium (Urceopolis)|The Praetorium]] in the Oldtown borough of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]. | The Royal Parliament is lead by the Archducal Chancellor, whose responsibilities within the Archduchy represent a slightly more powerful version of the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]] on the national level.
