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.

Chakailan is divided into four geographic regions and eighteen communes. Communes are not geographical territories but rather groupings of people based on ancestry, tribe, or other pre-independence association. Accordingly, membership in a commune is a legal status rather than a territorial one, and communal status is inherited through the maternal line according to the Basic Charter of Government. The regional administrations have self-governing capability and instead are largely divided in such a way as to provide for legislative and judicial districts. Communes, on the other hand, carry some significant self-governing authority, including elected councils for each commune which provide for a limited degree of laws for each commune, and these laws primarily govern business and social transactions between members of the commune, although relationships with the other communes and to what degree communal members may participate in those relationships is determined by communal law. Traditionalist political influences within Chakailan tend to seek to empower the communes, while centralizing or modernizing influences seek to limit their authority or dissolve them altogether. | |||

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.

The second most important component in the party is a much more reactionary traditionalist movement focused on the ideas of the more distant, local communities that make up most of the nation. The traditionalist component seeks to maintain traditional social ties among communes, supporting their autonomy and opposing a "flattening" of society that more modern-minded reformers have proposed. | ||

They are often criticized by their opposition for being too reliant on these foreign powers and allowing corruption to manifest to help serve the interests of foreign companies over the people of the nation. | In part because of the various other powers involved both in the creation and rebuilding of the nation, the Chakailani Unified Front is mainly aligned with the Occidental powers who helped ensure the nations creation - [[Urcea]] and [[Kiravia]].
