Government of Deodeca
Government
.jpg)
The Commonwealth of Deodeca is a federal constitutional parliamentary monarchy, combining a Wendon-style parliamentary system with a strong federal structure. The country’s head of state is King Geoffrey IV, who reigns as monarch of Deodeca and other Ingerish Commonwealth realms. The monarch is represented domestically by the Governor-General of Deodeca, currently George Palmer, who carries out ceremonial duties and exercises certain reserve powers on advice of the Prime Minister.
Executive power rests primarily with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, who are drawn from and responsible to the elected lower house of Parliament. The Prime Minister is the leader of the political party or coalition holding a majority in that chamber, and serves as the head of government.
Legislature
The federal legislature is the Parliament of Deodeca, a bicameral body consisting of an Upper House (Senate) and a Lower House (House of Delegates).
- The Lower House is composed of members directly elected from single-member constituencies across the provinces and territories of Deodeca.
- The Upper House represents the federal principle, with seats distributed evenly among the sixteen provinces and two federal territories, regardless of population size.
Parliament is responsible for enacting federal legislation, approving the budget, and scrutinising the executive branch. The upper and lower chambers sit at the federal capital, Stradworth, within the Odeka District.
Judiciary
The Supreme Court of Deodeca is the highest judicial body in Deodeca. It has original jurisdiction in constitutional matters and serves as the final court of appeal in civil and criminal cases. Beneath it, a system of federal and provincial courts exercises jurisdiction according to the constitutional division of powers.
The judiciary plays a crucial role in interpreting the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Deodeca, particularly in resolving disputes between the federal government and the provinces. Judicial independence is protected by constitutional guarantees of tenure and remuneration.
Political System
Deodeca operates under a multi-party system, with the two largest and most influential parties being:
- the Deodecan Labour Party (DLP), generally associated with social democracy and progressive policies,
- and the Liberal National Party (LNP), a centre-right party emphasising liberal economic policy and conservative social values.
Smaller regional parties also play important roles, particularly in provinces such as Ingerish Asperia and Queen Adelaide Island, where local identity strongly influences politics. Coalition governments are not uncommon at the federal level.

Military
The Deodecan Defence Force (DDF) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of Deodeca and the protection of its national interests. It consists of four service branches: the Royal Deodecan Navy (RDN), the Royal Deodecan Army (RDA), and the Royal Deodecan Air Force (RDAF) and the Royal Deodecan Lake Guard (RDLG). The RDLG continues as a historically separate force tasked with patrolling the country’s inland lakes and waterways. Together, the services form one of the most comprehensive defence organisations in the region, second to the Federal States military.
During the decades before federation, the armed services were established as separate organisations with independent command structures. In the late 20th century, the government introduced a strategic reform that placed all three services under a single integrated command, forming the DDF in its present structure. Since then, unified logistics, and joint training institutions have gradually replaced many single-service establishments, fostering greater interoperability across land, sea, and air operations. Each branch maintains separate service headquarters, but Parliamentary reform seeks to consolidate this.
The DDF is a technologically advanced but moderately sized force relative to Deodeca’s population of approximately 60 million. It has a combined strength of around 235,000 full-time active personnel and 112,000 reservists, making it one of the larger military organisations among mid-sized nations, though smaller than the armed forces of major global powers. Despite this, the DDF maintains a high level of readiness, is well-trained and well-equipped, and contributes regularly to multinational operations, peacekeeping deployments, and disaster-relief efforts. Defence expenditure is maintained at roughly 2.6% of GDP, supporting the DDF’s modernisation and operational commitments.

The Royal Deodecan Army (RDA) is the principal land warfare service branch of the Deodecan Defence Force (DDF). It is tasked with protecting the territorial integrity of Deodeca, conducting ground operations in both defensive and expeditionary roles, and providing support in civil emergencies and international peacekeeping missions.
The Army traces its origins to colonial militias established in the early period of Deodeca, evolving into a professional standing force following federation. Today it is organised into active and reserve components, comprising a mixture of mechanised, infantry, and specialist units. The RDA maintains a tradition of close cooperation with neighbouring militaries, especially the Ingerish Commonwealth and the Federal States and continues to play a central role in the strategic defence of the Deodecan realm.

The Royal Deodecan Navy (RDN) is the maritime service branch of the Deodecan Defence Force (DDF) and is responsible for defending the nation’s maritime approaches, safeguarding sea lines of communication, and projecting naval power abroad.
The Navy originated from Ingrean naval vessels used for colonial settlement and protection during the 18th and 19th centuries, later formalised into a national fleet after federation. Since then, it has developed into a modern force equipped with surface combatants, patrol vessels, amphibious ships, and support craft, with a focus on both coastal security and expeditionary operations.
In addition to its warfighting role, the RDN contributes to humanitarian relief, disaster response, and multinational peacekeeping efforts, reflecting its dual responsibilities to both national security and international stability.

The Royal Deodecan Air Force (RDAF) is the aerial warfare branch of the Deodecan Defence Force (DDF) and is responsible for the defence of Deodeca’s airspace, the projection of air power abroad, and the provision of air support to ground and naval operations.
Established as an independent service following the federation of Deodeca, the RDAF has since grown into a modern, technologically advanced force. Its fleet includes multirole and air superiority fighters, strategic and tactical airlift aircraft, aerial refuelling tankers, airborne early warning platforms, and unmanned aerial systems. In addition to combat operations, the Air Force contributes to disaster relief, humanitarian missions, and international peacekeeping deployments.
The RDAF maintains a strong tradition of cooperation with allied air forces and continues to play a pivotal role in safeguarding Deodeca’s national security and projecting its influence in the wider region.

The Royal Deodecan Lake Guard (RDLG) is a specialised maritime service responsible for safeguarding Deodeca’s inland waterways, particularly its vast system of navigable lakes and connecting rivers. Historically distinct from the Royal Deodecan Navy, the Lake Guard traces its lineage to colonial-era patrol flotillas established to secure trade, suppress smuggling, and support frontier garrisons.
Today, the Lake Guard remains a smaller but professional branch, operating patrol craft, fast boats, and light amphibious vessels optimised for inland environments. Its duties include law enforcement on waterways, border security, environmental protection, and support for Army and civil authorities during emergencies and natural disasters. While administratively separate, the Lake Guard maintains close ties with the Navy and often participates in joint exercises and humanitarian operations.
