The politics of the Queendom of Iboma (''lwuTendane lw'Iboma'') take place in the framework of a multiparty liberal representative democracy under an elected constitutional monarchy. The Goddess Akrona (''mwuDzimu Akronya'') through the Crown (''lwuTsiwane'') imparts the country with its sovereignty and gives its government authority, powers and dignities vested in the Queen (''mwuTenda'') which she exercises largely on the advice of the Chancellor (''mwuKanziliri''). The Chancellor leads the Council of Ministers (the de facto executive branch of the govermment), the Executive Committee of the Council of Elders. She is always the leader of the largest party in the Council of the People (the lower house of the National Assembly). The Queen and the National Assembly form the legislative branch while the Queen, Supreme Chambers of Justice and other courts form the judicial branch. The Constitution of Iboma is unwritten and consists of traditions, laws and judicial precedents.
==Founding==
Originally there were 12 tribes which lived in the islands that today comprise Iboma. They were autonomous and ruled over themselves. However, they recognized the symbolic position of a Matriarch who was a symbol of their shared heritage. Unfortunately, they were facing several challenges in the late 16th century such as natural disasters and foreign invasion. Unable to coordinate their efforts and pool resources due to mutual distrust and self-interest they remained weak and suffered greatly. The first Queen and last Matriarch, Mujaji I, brought the leaders of the nations together at Komodu and convinced them to form a united country with her as the Queen. They agreed and this agreement is called the Covenant of the Twelve Tribes.

The official title of the Queen is as follows: By the Grace of the All-Mother, Rutendo III, Queen of Iboma, Supreme Guardian of the Akronist Church of Iboma, Duchess of Komodu. The only title not attached to the Crown is Duchess of Komodu. This title is attached to the Queen in her personal capacity and arises because she is the head of the House of Mujaji which holds the Duchy of Komodu. The title of Supreme Guardian of the Akronist Church of Iboma arises because the Queen of Iboma is not only expected to rule according to the teachings of Akronism but the belief is that Iboma exists as a nation and the Crown exists solely because of and from the Goddess Akrona, as such it is the Queen's duty to protect and uphold the Akronist Church of Iboma. The practical effect of the title of Supreme Guardian is that it establishes the Akronist Church of Iboma as the state religion of Iboma.
The Queen's closest relatives comprise the Royal Family of Iboma. This includes all her descendants and full consorts, her parents and siblings. They all receive the title of Prince or Princess for life even if a new Queen is appointed. Only the Queen's primary consort and their eldest daughter receive a stipend and staff from the government for their upkeep and performance of official duties. Other members of the Royal Family of Iboma may receive all the dignities associated with their title and station including being the first in the orders of ceremonial precedent, and permission to wear royal regalia. Together with courtiers, they comprise the Royal Court of Iboma. The Queen officially resides and works in the Kalangara Palace in Komodu.
