The current King of Kemedal was born on 26 September 251 as prince Iestyn, the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Gwaun. When he was two years old, his uncle king Caerwyn II died childless and his father succeeded him as king Iestyn II. Upon his 18th birthday in 269, prince Iestyn was created Grand Duke of Aberban. Nine years later he married Lady Llinos of Brogarw, with whom he has three children: the Grand Duke of Aberban (Prince Iestyn, born 279), the Duchess of Gwaun (Princess Gwendolen, born 282), and the Duke of Treweision (Prince Eurig, born 285).

Queen Emma of Ansonia was born in 300 as the second child and oldest daughter of then Crown Prince Edward (later King Edward V) and Crown Princess (later Queen) Angela. Although her older brother, also named Edward, was supposed to inherit the crown, the machinations of Prime Minister Dr Salton to create a casus belli to invade Kemedal lead to the deaths of King Edward V and the Crown Prince, and later also to those of Queen Angela and Queen Emma's younger sister Eleanor in 320 and 321, resulting in Emma remaining as the only member of the Royal family to succeed as Queen. As Queen Emma isn't married yet and doesn't have any children, the presumptive heir of the Ansonian crown is King Iestyn III of Kemedal.

Titles of the Kemedalian Royal Family:
 - the Grand Duke/Duchess of Aberban: reserved for the heir apparent if this is the son or daughter of the ruling monarch.

The Cabinet
The Cabinet is formally convened by the reigning monarch. The Cabinet consists of the Prime Minister and his fellow ministers who are formally appointed by the Royal Council. Parliamentarism entails that the Cabinet must not have the Chamber of States against it, and that the appointment by the Royal Council is a formality. The Cabinet must have the confidence of the Chamber of States. In practise, the monarch will ask the leader of a parliamentary block that has a majority in the Chamber to form a government.

Parliament
In accordance with article 24 of the 322 AP Constitution of Kemedal, the parliament of Kemedal consists of two chambers: the Lower Assembly (Y Cynulliad Isel) and the Higher Assembly (Y Cynulliad Uchel). The number of seats in the Lower Assembly is fixed at 601. These are split in fifteen constituencies to correspond with each of the fourteen States of Kemedal (Aberban, Bala, Ban a Chyffyr, Corwn, Cwm Llas, Yr Eint, Gwaun, Llanfarc, Llidiard, Yr Ôsceroedd, Pontegoch, Porthlong Danfor, Tir y Mid, and Yrs a Fford), which have 25 seats each, and one nation-wide constituency of 251 seats. The seats are divided among the parties using proportional representations. Elections occur at least every five years, with every seat up for re-election; the last election took place on 3 April 322 so the next election will take place on 28 March 327 at the latest. Members of the Lower Assembly must be at least 21 years old and resident in Kemedal, have Kemese citizenship and full political and civil rights within Kemedal.

The first election of 3 April 322 (merged Kemedal) was won by the Monarchist Union (UBC), which is set to form a coalition with the Liberal Party (PRh) and the Democratic Party (PD), which means that it will in essence be a continuation of the pre-merger government of Kemedal. The new government took however longer to form than expected and it was finally installed on Friday 21 October 322.

The Higher Assembly consists of 69 members, who are appointed by the Royal Council after being nominated by the State governments.
