The Federal Republic of Concadia is a federal semi-presidential parliamentary constitutional democratic republic in which the President, currently Catherine Jones, is the head of state, and the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Concadia, currently Oliver Slaughter, is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the Concadia government. Legislative power is vested in the two chambers of the Federal Parliament of Concadia, the House of Commons and the House of Senators. The judiciary is separate from the executive and legislature. The highest court in the land is the Supreme Court of Concadia. The federal government shares sovereignty with the states, provinces and territory.

The Concadian political system is a two party system. Since the 1860s, the two dominant parties have been the Conservative Party and the Socialist Labour Party. Before this, the were no clear dominant parties, with the Liberals and the Republicans often coming out on top, but not exclusively. Since the Parliament Act 1936, minority and coalition governments have become more common, as seats in the chamber started to be awarded to smaller parties due to mixed-member proportional.
