The government of Eemsmerschen is a federal state with representative democracy, however it lacks an executive branch.
- The legislative branch is the Legislative Council (Rechtsraat). A branch reviews and amends the laws, it is made up of 72 Chiefs (Low Dolch: Hovetlinge, High Dolch: Häuptlinge), that each have two advisors, and the Lawspeaker (Gesettsredner), adding up to 217 members. The Hovetlinge are elected by the landowners of 8 countries (Kreise) that elect 9 Hovetlinge each, thus making 72 of the members elected and 145 appointed by those elected themselves.
- The judiciary branch is headed by the Peasant's Senate (Buernsenaat), whose 72 judges are appointed by the chiefs of the Legislative Council, each chief appointing one judge.
The lack of any executive branch makes the political system of Eemsmerschen very unusual. As there is no executive, when the judicial comes to a verdict, the punishment or penalty must be enforced by the affected persons or their family. As there is no supreme executive, during times of war the 72 chiefs will elect a general to be made commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
