The Duchy of Wełnica, the Duchy of Lechia and the Duchy of Mazowszanie. The three Duchies tended to enter into wars between each other known as the Three Duchy Wars. Under this period a solid identity was forged between the three duchies as different countries, with the Duchy of Lechia being considered the most powerful duchy. The geographic boundaries of these duchies were defined in the earliest mention of Vistulzka, the Ducal Index which intended to define the various paganistic and Seguastic duchies that existed in Central Atalan at the time. Under the pressure of the newly Seguacistic Kingdom of Hetumoger and Duchy of Vossenburg. The Duchy of Wełnica entered into several wars with the Duchy of Vossenburg which began the War of Nassau-Vossenburg which ended in the defeat of Wełnica.

Its government is codified by the 1921 Constitution of Vistulzka which is considered to be the governing principle and establishing document of Vistulzka.

Vistulzka utilizes three branches of government, both "Separate but intertwined" government where all branches of the government were intertwined with each other.
Officially, the Office of the President is elected within the Sjem, where the members of the Sjem will elected a member of their own. The powers of the president are executive in nature and are split between the office and the Sjem.
