The Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy where the sovereign personally exercises power in concert with other institutions. Unlike traditional monarchies, the monarch does not source their power from a God but from the people. Québec is a part of the GMO, the Micronational Confederation of the Americas and the Mittyzöegaad-Peperonus Sector.

The establishment
Following the independence of Québec, facing the challenges of establishing a functioning state, a Sovereign Ordinance giving temporary absolute power to the King was promulgated on 7 January 2023. This ordinance allowed the passing of laws, with the absence of an elected Parliament, concerning mostly cultural elements such as the national symbols or the public holidays and most notably the Law on the provisions against discrimination which is considered to be the main legislative piece on LGBT rights.
Politics
Government
King Iker, January 2023
According to the Constitution, Québec is governed under a constitutional monarchy, with His Majesty the King Iker I as head of state. The executive power is exercised by the President as the head of government, who presides over the Government Council. The prerogative to propose and promulgate laws belongs to the King, while the Parliament gets to modify and adopt them. This shared legislative power is also applied for every revision of the Constitution.
Paloma is a kingdom with four provinces, three autonomous cities and three territories. The Paloman government has been variously described as monarchist.
The federal government comprises three branches:
- Legislative: The unicameral National Assembly of Québec, made up of governors and representatives of the administrative divisions, makes federal law, approves treaties and can impeach government members with approval of the President.
- Executive: The King is the commander-in-chief of the military, can veto legislative bills before they become law (subject to congressional override) and other powers more marked by the Québec Constitution. The President of Québec, currently Jake 100animations, is the second most powerful position in the Government of Québec.
- Judicial: The Supreme Court, whose judges are appointed by the King or the President, interpret laws and overturn those they find unconstitutional and anti-Québecois.
The National Assembly of Québec has twelve voting members, each representing a province. National Assembly seats belong to the governors or administrators of each province which are de jure elected by the provincial citizens. Each state recives around one seat unless the population of the province is over 5. The National Assembly of Québec also has seats for its territories which act as non-voting members during meetings.
Foreign relations
Québec adheres to the declarative theory of statehood, every states that have a defined territory, a permanent population, a government and the capacity to enter in relation with other micronational states is de facto recognized by Québec. However, de jure recognition is not given out to States which have views aligned with the far-right. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains a list of states which received official mutual recognition from Québec.
Political parties
There are three political parties in the nation with seats in the National Assembly. The Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), a predominantly right-wing nationalist party, with the majority of seats in the Congress of Deputies. The Conservative Party (CPQ), a centre-wing party with minority interests and regionalism policies and the official opposition party. The Alliance Party of Québec (APQ), a left-wing party focused on the ideological values of Federalism with two seats in the Parliament.
