The federal Congress, as well as the state legislatures, are elected by a system of parallel voting that includes plurality and proportional representation. The Chamber of Deputies has 300 deputies. Of these, 200 are elected by plurality vote in single-member districts (the federal electoral districts) and 100 are elected by proportional representation with closed party lists for which the country is divided into 11 electoral constituencies. The Senate is made up of 44 senators. Of these, 22 senators (two for each state) are elected by plurality vote in pairs; 11 senators are the first minority or first-runner up (one for each state), and 11 are elected by proportional representation from national closed party lists.

The executive is the President of the Vaniaian Republic, who is the head of state and government, as well as the commander-in-chief of the Vaniaian military forces. The President also appoints the Cabinet and other officers. The President is responsible for executing and enforcing the law, and has the power to veto bills.

The highest organ of the judicial branch of government is the Supreme Court of Justice, the national supreme court, which has eleven judges appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. The Supreme Court of Justice interprets laws and judges cases of federal competency. Other institutions of the judiciary are the Federal Electoral Tribunal, collegiate, unitary and district tribunals, and the Council of the Federal Judiciary.

Military
The Vaniaian military provides a unique example of a military leadership's transforming itself into a civilian political elite, simultaneously transferring the basis of power from the army to a civilian state.

The Vaniaian Armed Forces have three branches: the Vaniaian Army, the Vaniaian Air Force, and the Vaniaian Navy. The Vania Armed Forces maintain significant infrastructure, including facilities for design, research, and testing of weapons, vehicles, aircraft, naval vessels, defense systems and electronics; military industry manufacturing centers for building such systems, and advanced naval dockyards that build heavy military vessels and advanced missile technologies.



Vania has the capabilities to manufacture nuclear weapons, but abandoned this possibility with the Agreement of Veta in 1971 and pledged to only use its nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

Historically, Vania has remained neutral in international war conflicts, however, during the 1950s it expressed its rejection of the Berdeletesian expansion, creating a maritime front in the Gulf of Vania. The Vania - Berdeleto war, which culminated in the loss of Athos and Monroe, has been the only officially declared war by the country.

On the other hand, the deployment of armed forces carried out on the border of South Barusania during the years 1945 to 1948, constituted a cold war between both nations. Although Blendisón still claims sovereignty over the Barusania peninsula, there have been no military exercises on the border since 1994.
