Superior has a progressive tax code based on income, age, and wealth.

Government and politics
The current Superior Constitution was adopted in 1985. Like all other states, Superior has no legislature or judiciary.

State government
Superior has a plural executive branch system limiting the power of the governor, which is a weak executive compared to some other states. Except for the auditor general, voters elect executive offices; thus candidates are directly answerable to the public, not the governor. This system has allowed the executive branch to be split between parties. The executive branch positions consist of the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, auditor general, and the five-member Legislative Commission.

Politics
Superior is typically cited as a swing state that leans towards New Republicans. The state has only elected New Republicans in the presidential election, but has elected Social Democrats, Independents, and Progressives to the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and statewide offices.
