Directionland is a '''parliamentary democracy''' with an '''imperial structure'''. Laws originate in the '''[[Imperial Parliament]]''' (lower house), pass through the '''[[Imperial Senate]]''' (upper house), and require the '''[[Imperial Crown]]’s''' assent. The '''[[Chancellor]]'''—head of government—is elected by the parliamentary majority or a coalition. General elections occur '''every 4 cycles'''; citizens vote from '''18 cycles'''. Senate membership combines [[provincial premiers]] (appointed ex officio) with city representatives.

Early in the empire, friction between houses led to a physical separation of chambers: Parliament sits in '''[[Ironwood]]''', while the former unicameral building in '''[[St. Stylinson]]''' became the Senate—an arrangement meant to deter inter-house interference.
