Nusaira's government is a constitutional parliamentary monarchy, with power shared between the monarch and parliament. Initially, the capital or monarch resides at the center of Nusa Sura, Purwapura. By 1489, a new monarch palace is built in the south of the Mount Tabik along with the legislative branch and most government institutions in the Serambi Andalas.

Historically, Nusaira was once a collection of tribal regions known as Jějari ᬚᭂᬚᬭᬶ, each led by a Ratualam and practicing animism before the 5th century. The arrival of the Dharmapala (a Hindu-Buddhist syncretistic tradition) kingdom in the 4th century ushered in a period of unification under King Jayanusa, who assumed the title of Ratualam. Following his consolidation of power, King Jayanusa restructured the regional leadership, replacing the title Ratualam with Ratuadat for the leaders of Jějari territories. {{
King Jayanusa's reign also marked the adoption of an isolationist policy with limited trade focused on exporting spices, particularly nutmeg and cloves, which defined the kingdom for centuries. However, during the Age of Discovery in the 14th century, Nusaira opened its borders to expand its participation in regional trade, welcoming new religions such as Imani and Kristian to the island.
In the 14th century, Nusaira became a tributary state under Majesia. Following the fall of Majesia, the new government known as Kesulatanan Majesia replaced the previous regime. Nusaira subsequently regained its independence later in the 16th century. Despite periods of small civil unrest between the 19th to 21st centuries, Nusaira has remained a monarchy and maintained a strong mercantile economy. In recent decades, the nation's tourism sector has flourished, attracting visitors with its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.
