[[File:Tavari Diet
The Kingdom of Tavaris is a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch has theoretically broad reserve powers, but in actual practice is a figurehead who takes no part in the day-to-day administration of the country. The King, currently Zaram V, is expected to remain politically neutral, and does not use his reserve powers unless advised to do so by the Council of State, a body similar to the Privy Council in other monarchies.
Line 157:
In 1793, a document known as the Instruments of Governance was ratified, which became the Tavari constitution. It has been amended several times. The Instruments placed significant restrictions on the power of the Monarch and instituted a legislature called the Diet. Under the Instruments, executive power is formally vested in the Cabinet, which is headed by the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister leads the government and holds the positions of President of the Council of State and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. A Prime Minister must maintain the confidence of the Diet, and is therefore typically the leader of the largest party or coalition of parties in the Diet. The current Prime Minister, [[Žarís Nevran Alandar]], took office on 18 February 2021 after her predecessor [[Shano Tuvria]] stepped down to become [[International Forum]] Secretary-General. Since 22 September 2021, Nevran Alandar has had a [[wikipedia:minority government|minority government]] after the defection of 54 members of her Democratic National Party to join the newly-formed Coalition Right. While minority governments were common in early Tavari history, they have been rare in the modern era as coalition governments have become more common. On 14 March 2022, the resignations of 356 Delegates who left the Tavari government in the wake of Acronian secession became effective, leaving almost one-third of the Diet vacant in the body's largest mass resignation in history. With the complete loss of every Tavari Communist Party member and more than half of Green Tavaris, the status of Official Opposition changed hands to The Liberals. However, due to the large reduction in seats, the body's "effective majority" fell to 409 votes, meaning the government of Žarís Nevran Alandar returned to de facto majority status.
