The City of Urceopolis employs a model of governance in Urcea known as the [[Government_of_Urcea#Local_Government|executive polis]], which employs a chief executive who works in tandem with a local legislative body. Urceopolis was the only local government in Urcea to employ this system until the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], and it is sometimes informally called "Urceopolitan style" governance. Within the city, the Lord Prefect is the chief executive officer who is responsible for all of Urceopolis's government agencies while having oversight of the police department, fire department, medical corps, while having significant input into the administration of the city's transit system. The Lord Prefect is comparable in most respects to mayors of cities in other [[Occidental world|Occidental]] countries. The executive branch of Urceopolis's government includes an extensive set of agencies with broad reach over city policy and administration, such as public works, health conditions, sanitation, and other related municipal areas. The laws of the city are established by the Archcathedral Council, a proportionally-representative body many up of 121 Councilors. The Lord Prefect is elected at large in the city and the Council is elected from proportionally drawn districts every five years, mirroring the [[Concilium_Daoni#Elections_and_term|electoral calendar of the Concilium Daoni]]. Uniquely, the Lord Prefect is limited to two terms, while the Council has no term limits. In order to be eligible for either office, an individual must be a baptized [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] of at least thirty five years of age. | The City of Urceopolis employs a model of governance in Urcea known as the [[Government_of_Urcea#Local_Government|executive polis]], which employs a chief executive who works in tandem with a local legislative body.

Traditionally, the City of Urceopolis was under the control of the left-liberal faction of the [[National Democratic Party (Urcea)|National Democratic Party]] for most of the 20th century. The [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]], which began its history as a Urceopolitan political club, often represented a large minority party. The Urcean left in various forms was often politically successful in poorer areas like Campori, but was usually more successful in the [[Concilium Daoni]] elections than municipal elections. Since the [[2015 Urcean elections|2015 realignment]], however, the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]] has been ascendant within the city, with the local party especially emphasizing its [[Crown Liberal]] positions. The left wing [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]] is the second most successful party since 2015, having the second largest number of seats on the Archcathedral Council as of 2026, although sitting in an extreme minority. The [[Solidarity Party (Urcea)|Solidarity Party]] has struggled to compete in Urceopolis as it has in other cities since the decline of its predecessor, the National Democratic Party, finishing in third in most elections since 2015. The politics of the city trend towards liberal centrism, favoring a form of cosmopolitanism with some limited traditional influences. | Traditionally, the City of Urceopolis was under the control of the left-liberal faction of the [[National Democratic Party (Urcea)|National Democratic Party]] for most of the 20th century.
