The President is the most important legislative power in the nation. Although technically they are suppose to rely on the Council of Commons for most of their legislative work, more recently they have gained far greater powers to subvert the Commons and propose new laws more directly. The President is responsible for choosing the Fire-lit Hall, who choose the Chancellor, giving the President extensive powers over the entire nation. The President is elected every 6 years in a first-past-the-post popular election. | The President is the most important legislative power in the nation.

The Council of Commons, despite being somewhat subverted by the President, in more recent times still holds substantial legislative powers, being able to propose and enforce the implementation of new legislation. While the President too is able to do this they require that the executive branch is cooperative, while the Council of Commons holds extensive abilities to enforce the implementations of their proposals, to a point where they can force the president to dismiss the entire Fire-lit Hall if they fail to properly implement the will of the Commons. The Council of Commons is elected by regional elections held every 3 years, with each region holding a certain number of seats. | The Council of Commons, despite being somewhat subverted by the President, in more recent times still holds substantial legislative powers, being able to propose and enforce the implementation of new legislation.

Since its, creation the Chakailani government has been made up of two major political parties, although the various factions within the nations and these parties have switched allegiance. These are often simply called the 'left' and the 'right', the 'reds' and the 'whites' with many other nicknames. Officially, the parties are called "Peoples Liberation Party", or PLP, and the "Chakailani Unified Front", or CUF. Since the nation's liberation, the CUF has ruled over the nation, although most observers believe the parties are relatively evenly balanced. | Since its, creation the Chakailani government has been made up of two major political parties, although the various factions within the nations and these parties have switched allegiance.
