Werfareich is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy since its formal establishment in 1488. The Constitution adopted in 1902 determines the separation of power is exercised by the country's Landtag, formally by the ruling Monarch, and the High Court. However, in 2104 such a situation developed that the ruling Monarch died childless, and there was no suitable candidate left for the Throne. After an unsuccessful attempt to elect a Monarch from among the nobles, the communist revolution took place, followed by the Civil War of 2105 - 2108, in which a triumvirate of military, noblemen and monarchists won. As a result of the Civil War, Werfareich, in fact, became a republic under a military junta with the ruling National Unity Party. The highest post in the country (Chancellor-Regent of the Kingdom) is held by representatives of the nobility, and the second post in the state (General-Protector, that is, the Supreme Commander and Deputy Chancellor-Regent of the Kingdom) is held by representatives of the military. The post of Chancellor-Regent of the Kingdom has been held by Ester Honigberg since May 3, 2128. The post of Protector General has been held by Friedrich Holz since May 10, 2128.

Etymology

The word "Werfaraich", according to some etymologists, comes from the ancient Werfish, and means "Throwers". According to the classical theory, made on the basis of archaeological finds, the indigenous Wanderman tribe "Vendeerman" lived in the Leupolz region. The first mention of the Wanderman tribes dates back to the middle of the third century AD. It is mentioned in the chronicles of the Rumanian State, which describes the nomadic tribes of Wandermans, Hestergottmanns and Norts who arrived from the northeast and settled in the Smaragdtal valley. The word "Aruncatori", used by the Rumanian State for a general designation of all the tribes of the Smaragdtal valley, quickly caught on at the diplomatic level, as the Rumanian State was the cultural and technological hegemon in the region. Many states called Werfaraich in their own way, depending on linguistic and cultural norms.

According to another, less common, version, the word Werfaraich is a misspelled word "wafer" - a traditional dish of the Werfaraich cuisine. Werfish is the word "Oblate", in the Weccan language it is called "wafer". It is believed that the first Weccandian merchants who brought a previously unknown product to their homeland gave it the name "wafer". From this theory, it turns out that Werfaraich is the land of the wafer. But this theory was recognized as untenable due to the fact that no direct evidence in favor of this theory was found.

However, in 1963, King Jan Friedrich I made a statement internationally with the proclamation from now on in official documents to use the name Werfaraich in relation to the state of the Smaragdtal valley.

In relation to the inhabitants of Werfaraich, the term Werfians is commonly used.
