The head of State is an elected monarch (King Mark), whose functions are analogous to those of a constitutional monarch and who retains purely ceremonial functions as head of State.

abstract
| - The head of State is an elected monarch (King Mark), whose functions are analogous to those of a constitutional monarch and who retains purely ceremonial functions as head of State. The monarch is elected for life by the Witan from among its members; the monarch must always be non-political and act in most cases in accordance with the Prime Minister's advice. Legislative power is vested in the Witan, which consists of the directly-elected Prime Minister as chairman, all members of the Privy Council and all adult citizens over 14. A quorum of only one is needed to proceed to business. Executive power is held by the Prime Minister, directly-elected every year; he is responsible to the Witan. Judicial power is held by the Quarter Court, which is the Witan in its judicial capacity; it is presided over, if there is one, by an Attorney-General, directly-elected every two years. The Government and the Judiciary are therefore directly elected. There is universal suffrage at 14. All constitutional changes must be submitted to the voters, who can force a referendum to repeal a law or recall a public official, and anyone can lay a Bill before the Witan for consideration as law. The Witan cannot create victimless crimes, define treason or delegate its power to elect the King. Strathclyde is a direct democracy. As of now, King Mark is the Head of State as a constitutional monarch and John Powell is the current Prime Minister of Strathclyde.
