The politics of Iboma take place in the framework of a multiparty liberal representative democracy under an elected constitutional monarchy whereby the Queen of Iboma is the head of state, nominal chief executive and commander in chief of the armed forces. The Queen makes laws together with the bicameral National Assembly and most of the daily running of the country is delegated by convention and statute to the Council of Ministers with the chair, the Chancellor, being the de facto head of government as the leader of the largest party of the National Assembly. The judicial functions of the Crown have been fully delegated to the judiciary, at the head of which is the Supreme Chamber of Justice.

The politics of Iboma take place in the framework of a unitary constitutional monarchy representative democracy and theocracy. The Constitution is uncodified, comprising longstanding unwritten political conventions and written laws, most of which emanate from the Covenant of the Twelve Tribes (''Chitsingamunyi chaziMbuna z’Tsuminambiri''), arguably the founding document of Iboma.

When the Queen's reign ends due to death, abdication or declaration of permanent incapacity by the Council of State, the Council of State holds the Crown and exercises most royal prerogatives. It appoints a Regent to rule the country and summons the Council of Electors to choose a new Queen. Once a new Queen is named, she must take an Oath to uphold the laws and status of the Akronist Church of Iboma and rule according to the tenents of Akronism. She is then invested with the symbols of monarchical and spiritual officials and subsequently becomes the Queen. She can then dissolve and reconstitute the Council of State as she sees fit. The Queen can remove Electors and appoint new ones from among the nobility and clergy of Iboma.

The Queen of Iboma (''Mutenda maIboma'') is the head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces. Succession is open to all females who in turn undergo a rigorous selection process testing physical, intellectual and interpersonal traits called the Queen's Trials (''Zikitsimiso zamuTenda''). The Queen appoints the High Council (''Likonzili l’Hina'') which consists of the Grand Vizier (''Muviziri m’Ra'') and Councilors of State (''Bakonzili beluNe''). The Grand Vizier is the head of government and oversees the running of day-to-day affairs of the government.

The Queen can appoint and dismiss members of the Council of Elders as she sees fit, however she can only appoint as the Chancellor the leader of the largest party in the Council of the People on whose advise she appointed the members of the Executive Committee of the Council of Elders, commonly known as the Council of Ministers whose members have been delegated authority over the daily running of the country and collective decision-making and responsibility over most executive functions of government.

The bicameral National Assembly (''Limbuyalothe l’Fatsile'') consists of the Legislative Council (''Likonzili l’Tsingazimiso'') and the Representative Council (''Likonzili l’Hwemberabanu''). The elected Legislative Council wields most of the political power, whilst the Representative Council, which is selected by lottery, has an advisory role in the law-making process. The judicial branch comprises the Supreme Court (''Limbiko l’Tsumihulu'') and lesser trial and appellate courts. The strong role of the [[Akronist Church of Iboma]] (''Limashidi l’Akronisti laIboma'') in public and political life has entrenched Akronist values, such as a matriarchal rule, into legislation and policy.

When a vacancy arises in the Supreme Chamber of Justice of Iboma, including for the position of the Chief Justice of Iboma, the Chancellor can receive nominations from the Judicial Committee of the Council of the People and advice the Queen on which of the nominations to appoint. Supreme Chamber is the last body to which judicial decisions can be appealed and it only listens to appeals. Beneath lights the High Chamber of Justice which both listens to appeals and deals with issues beyond the jurisdiction of lesser judicial bodies and consists of divisions distributed throughout the country. Justice is dispensed in Queen's name by judges who ascend to their positions by meritocratic appointment.
