The prehistoric period was marked by sparse human activity on the island relative to nearby areas. Archeological remains indicate the presence of intermittent small temporary settlements during this era. The only ancient structure still standing is a temple, leading historians to speculate that the island may have had a religious significance and have only been visited during pilgrimages.

===National===
Barbanera is a presidential republic with universal suffrage. The president and representatives are elected separately, though usually simultaneously.
There are three major factions in Barbaneran politics pertaining to the status of the nation and of West-Zwartbaar:
*The ''Dividere'' want West-Zwartbaar to be recognised as a distinct and independent entity, thus relinquishing Barbanera's claim to the west of the island;
*The ''Riunione'' want the whole island to be under Barbaneran control;
*The ''Collaborazione'' want to form a confederation comprising both entities.
Collaboration across faction lines is common and those in the same faction do not necessarily agree on other policy decisions.
===Local===
Barbanerans put a substantial focus on municipal elections, which occur every two years. Mayors and councilors campaign together as a ''squadra'' (lit. "team"). The ''squadra'' with the most votes is elected for a four-year term. While many of these teams are independent, some are aligned with particular positions on the island's status analogous to those in the national government. Mayors meet quarterly in the Town Hall of Cocco to discuss various local issues, propose solutions, plan events, and foster a sense of collaboration between cities. These discussions are often attended by representatives from the Assembly and always broadcasted on national television.
=== Administrative divisions ===
Barbanera is divided into 12 administrative divisions for census and postal purposes. They are occasionally used to indicate what general area a person is from.

Pinna, Baia Julian, Ananas, and Corsaltiempo are fully occupied by [[West-Zwartbaar]]. Parts of Portovest, Giungula, and Pappagallo also fall under their ''de facto'' jurisdiction. The occupied territory is managed under the same divisions but under different names.
