Political system of the Erishlands.png

Politics of the Erishlands take place within the framework of a federal representative democratic constitutional monarchy. Under the Constitution of the Erish Realm, the authority of the state derives from the public will. The Erish political system operates as a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, wherein the monarch is the ceremonial head of state whilst the prime minister— whose official title is "President of the Confederation" is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the cabinets of both the federal and state governments. Federal legislative power is vested in the Realm Diet (parliament of the Erishlands) and the Confederal Council (representative body of federal and state governments). The judiciary is independent of the executive and legislative branches. The Erishlands have a multi-party system with two large parties at the federal level, the conservative Royalists and center-left Democrats, and several other smaller but influential parties. The Realm Diet is directly elected by a mixture of two-round proportional and double mandate voting. Voting in federal elections, as well as for state parliaments, is compulsory. The Realm Cabinet is exclusively accountable to a two-party sub-chamber of the Diet, leading to governments consistently being minority governments. The Erishlands are an asymmetric federation, wherein the 20 Lands and the Shire of Fjørjborg (states) are co-sovereign with the Realm (the federal government), but Førjborg has less autonomy. The forms of government used by the Lands and Shires resemble the federal government, with cabinets that are accountable to a sub-chamber of their otherwise unicameral, elected legislatures.
