Tretrid is a [[w:representative democracy|representative democracy]] in the form of a [[w:federalism|federal]] [[w:parliamentary system|parliamentary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. Tretrid's constitution, the Charter of Privileges, was proclaimed in 1804. Under the Charter, the Witenagemot serves as the federal unicameral legislature. Tretrid's government follows the [[w:Westminster system|Kalmington system]], itself largely a product of Tretridian parliamentary tradition and named after [[Lord Kalmington]], the Prime Minister of Tretrid when the Charter of Privileges was passed.
Ælfric III, the current King of Tretrid, serves as the head of state. The Tretridian throne is ''de facto'' [[w:Hereditary monarchy|hereditary]] as a result of various laws governing the succession, but the succession is ''de jure'' [[w:Elective monarchy|elective]], with the Witenagemot undergoing a largely ceremonial vote to confirm the accession of each monarch. The King serves a largely ceremonial role within the Tretridian government, but reserves certain powers that can be used in an emergency. The King also has the power to amend the Charter, though by convention amendments are only made following a referendum. The Tretridian monarchy and its adjacent institutions are metronymically referred to as the Falcon's Throne (''Fealcnes Cynesetl''), referring to the official name of the ceremonial throne of the King.
