* ''Series/TheExpanse'' has the United Nations Security Council governing Earth as one of the main plots.
* ''[[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11173308/ The Family]]'': The new, democratically elected Serbian government tries to arrest the former dictator, Slobodan Milosevic, who has barricaded himself in his villa, with most of his family and cronies. In order to do so, they have to rely largely on the people in the police and the military who have been appointed by Milosevic himself.

* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''--An odd one in that it focuses on small-town local government, with a bureaucrat as the central character--albeit a bureaucrat who was for a time a member of the City Council and [[spoiler:would eventually become Governor of Indiana and (we think) President of the United States.]]

* ''Series/{{Utopia 2014}}'' is a comedy about the "Nation Building Authority", a newly created government organization responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects.
* ''Series/{{Veep}}''--A sitcom about (what else) the Vice President of the United States and [[VicePresidentWho how useless she is]]. At least at first... Despite coming from the same person (Creator/ArmandoIannucci) as ''The Thick of It'', the characters do not usually ''intentionally'' make life hell for each other, and attempts at scheming usually backfire.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}''[=/=]''Franchise/{{Halo}}'']] MassiveMultiplayerCrossover, there's a PlotThread dealing with issues in the Home Galaxy Senate--mainly, an agency looking increasingly like StateSec is pushing the boundaries of [[ForScience acceptable experimentation]] while consolidating more and more power. A [[BadassBureaucrat Senator]] is trying to at least shine a light in, though so far there hasn't been much in the way of results.

* ''Series/TheRegime'', a series about a crumbling fictional authoritarian Middle European regime whose Chancellor faces domestic turmoil that threatens her hold on power.



* ''Series/ServantOfThePeople'', a WorkCom variant about a Ukrainian high-school teacher who finds himself catapulted into the presidency. (Oddly enough, in a case of LifeImitatesArt, the show's very star, Volodymyr Zelensky, ''himself has ascended to become Ukraine's current RealLife president''.)

* ''[[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7493370/ Adults in the Room]]'' by Creator/CostaGavras is based on the memoirs of the former Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis. It shows the inner workings of the left-wing Greek government and, to a much larger extent, the ''very'' difficult negotiations that government had with the European Central Bank, IMF and the German government.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': As with its counterpart ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire,'' above. Yes, it's a [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy fantasy]]. Which spends an awful lot of time painstakingly demonstrating why living in a land (mis)governed like the [[DecadentCourt Seven Kingdoms]] currently is being... is a little too "interesting" for comfort. Saying you're watching it for the politics is actually believable in this instance.
** ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': The same as above. Also on its way to feature a SuccessionCrisis.
