The Kingdom of Great Blönland is a federal constitutional monarchy in which executive power, nominally vested in the King, the head of state, is delegated by legislation to a parliamentary system which combines elements of direct and indirect democracy. The King as Head of State still takes an active role in politics, which is unusual for most democratic constitutional monarchies of Uletha. The government is presided over by a Prime Minister who leads a collegial, nominally nonpartisan cabinet. The current Constitution, adopted in 1952, provides for a high level of federalism, giving a great degree of autonomy to the two Constituent Countries, Blönland (proper) and Remsfalen-Lüningen, formerly afforded only to the latter, which was annexed by Blönland in 1854. Blönland is also unique in terms of retaining a strong hereditary element in its upper house.
