Although at its core a monarchy, Thyllanor is far more liberal and political than its peers on Andoras when it comes to how it runs the nation and who gets authority on certain matters; Dalan II Karthmere, as Lord Paramount, receives final say on most matters at and above the ducal level, but for others, special committees of lords, noblemen, and commoners alike exist to delegate and ease the burden of Thyllanor's relatively balanced (not centralized nor decentralized) government. As of 350 AC, there are 17 active branches of the government; 4 primary and 13 secondary.
