Esteira, by [[Constitution of Esteira|constituiton]], is a multi-party presidential republic with {{Wp|separation of powers}} and is governed by a [[President of Esteira|president]] and the [[National People's Assembly of Esteira|National People's Assembly]]. The [[Constitutional Court of Esteira]] ensures laws and government actions are aligned with the ideas laid out in the constitution.
Esteira under Souza has been categorized as an {{Wp|autocracy}} where power is ultimately concentrated in the hands of the president. Elections are not considered to be free, the judiciary's independence has been significantly weakened, press censorship is widespread, and the legislature acts as a rubber stamp for the president.
A presidential term is five years and there are no term limits; they were abolished in 1999 by the National People's Assembly at Souza's urging. [[Luis Souza]] has been the president of Esteira since 1991. His victory in the [[1991 Esteiran presidential election|1991 election]] is widely considered to be Esteira's last free and fair election, with every election following suffering from some sort of fraud.
The National People's Assembly is a {{wp|unicameral}} {{wp|parliament}} comprising of 275 members, each coming from a single-member district.
