The government of New Ardmore takes the form of a semi-presidential republic, with legislative power belonging to the Dáil Aird Mhór and executive power belonging to the ''Tánaiste'' (referred to as the "Governor" or "Chief Executive" in Kiravic) and Cabinet. The Dáil Aird Mór is a unicameral body elected biennially at-large by party-list proportional voting with a {{wp|majority bonus system}}. The Chief Executive is directly elected every five years to a thrice-renewable term. New Ardmore is the only Kiravian state to employ a majority-bonus system, and one of twelve to limit the number of terms one can serve as Governor. | <!-- The government of New Ardmore takes the form of a semi-presidential republic, with legislative power belonging to the Dáil Aird Mhór and executive power belonging to the ''Tánaiste'' (referred to as the "Governor" or "Chief Executive" in Kiravic) and Cabinet.
