The Council of State has the power to declare by a majority vote of a quorate sitting the Queen as permanently incapacitated thereby ending her reign. The Queen's reign can also end if she passed away or abdicates. When the Queen's reign ends, the Council of State is said to hold to the Crown in trust. This means that it exercises all the powers of the Crown until a new Queen is elected. It can appoint a Regent until the Council of Electors votes for a new Queen. A Regent exercise all the functions of the Queen but they cannot remove or appoint members of the Council of Electors or the Council of State. The Council of State normally issues a summons for the members of the Council of Electors to attend a meeting to elect the Queen. The Council of State is appointed by the preceding Queen while she is on the throne. The current Council of State consists of:

The Queen will appoint the Council of Electors in her lifetime. The Council of Electors deliberates on and elects by simple majority vote of a quorate sitting a new Queen. The Council of Electors can only choose a Queen who is a citizen of Iboma, a person above the age of majority (i.e., above the age of 18) and a member of the Akronist Church of Iboma in good standing. The Council of Electors consists of the following members all of whom were appointed by Queen Rutendo III:
* The Queen has the power to grant title and withhold peerages by letters patent
* The Queen has the power to dissolve the Council of the People and the Council of Peers and call for new elections with the approval of the Council of Ministers
* The Queen has the power to promulgate bills and thereby make them laws or decline to do so thereby vetoing them, but subject to the approval of the Council of Ministers

The Council of State can by a majority vote of a quorate sitting declare the Queen temporarily incapacitated and appoint a Regent to assume her roles and duties until she returns and her temporary incapacity is concluded. This happens if the Queen goes missing or gets an illness that she needs to convalesce. However, the Queen can appoint a Regent of her own will if she intends to temporarily rest or intends to be away.
 
Since 1721, the Council of Electors has always chosen a member of the House of Mujaji. Usually the Council of Electors elects the eldest daughter of the Queen and in the absence of daughters, it elects her closest female relative such as her younger sister or her oldest first cousin. There are rare cases where the Council of Electors has chosen a younger daughter to ascend the throne. This happened for example in 1912 when Queen Makadzi I who was the second daughter of Queen Umbira II, was elected instead of Waditya nga Umbira II her elder sister because Waditya was married to a foreigner and joined his religion and was not eligible to be elected Queen, and in 1978 when Alisha nga Mujaji III declined the nomination to retain a civilian life and thus her younger sister Makadzi II was elected instead.cases where the eldest daughter

==Executive branch==
The Grand Vizier is the head of government of Iboma. She is appointed by the Queen and serves at Her Majesty's pleasure. This position is currently occupied by Rufaro va Asanda. The Grand Vizier was originally the head of the Queen's household and oversaw the running of the Royal Court. Together with the Viziers, she managed the daily affairs of the Queen and her court. However, as the running of the country became more complicated, the Queen required a skilled political operator to advise and assist her in running the country. Because of the wealth of knowledge and political connections that Grand Viziers accumulated working in the capital city, Queen's relied on them until the Grand Viziers became the heads of government. The Grand Vizier is still the nominal head of royal household, but today the duty is divided among the Viziers.
