The governmental system of the United Outer Colonies was simple but effective. The people elected the assembly, with one representative coming from each of the electoral regions of the nation. The assembly then selected a panel of candidates for the position of Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was then selected from the panel of candidates by the Monarch and is then confirmed by the assembly. The Prime Minister became the head of the assembly and together they ratify the legislation of the nation.

The Prime Minister and the Assembly also provided oversight for the United Outer Colonies Peacekeeping Forces which serve the people by providing them with a protective and peacekeeping force.
