The Arstotzkan Statute on Government Systems (2021) was the penultimate piece of supreme legislation in the Arstotzkan Union. The document was one of two articles of Legislation published on August 30, 2021. The document outlined the function and separation of the branches of the Arstotzkan Federal Government, and incorporated the political system of Arstotzkanism into the government. The document was also one of the articles of Legislation to use the 2021.8 version, which was an updated version from the 2021.1 version. This version aimed to make legislation more formal and improve it to international standards.

On 21 June 2023, the Executive Committee found that the Arstotzkan Statute did not properly outline the functions of government and also that the 2021.8 version of legislation was severely outdated in comparison to the 2023.6 version and so passed the Government Procedures Act 2023 which repealed the Arstotzkan Statute on Government Systems on 30 June 2023.
