[[File:PresidentofKimmystan.jpeg|thumb|170px|left|The King of Kimmystan]]

According to the [[Constitution of Kimmystan]], Kimmystan is a unitary constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government, wherein the King of Kimmystan is the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of government.

The current king is King Kim I of Kimmystan. Kimmystan is considered to be one of the most developed democracies and states of justice in Outernatia.

The Monarch is commander-in-chief of the Kimmystanian Armed Forces, and serves as chief diplomatic official abroad and as a symbol of unity and peace. The monarch was crowned King of Kimmystan in 2007 after the tragic death of his mother, Queen Tove of Kimmystan.

In practice, the Prime Minister exercises the executive powers. Constitutionally, legislative power is vested with both the government and the Parliament of Kimmystan, but the latter is the supreme legislature and a unicameral body. Kimmystan is fundamentally structured as a representative democracy. The Parliament can pass a law by simple majority of the 169 representatives, who are elected on the basis of proportional representation from 10 constituencies for four-year terms.
