The politics of Erishland take place within the framework of a representative democratic constitutional monarchy. Under the 1940 Constitution of the Erish Realm, the authority of the state derives from the public will, and it is obligated to uphold both "the provisions and spirit of the constitution".

The Erish political system operates as a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, wherein the monarch, currently Queen Liexne III, is the ceremonial head of state whilst the Realm Chancellor, currently Eirik Geiralkson, is the head of government, the latter leading the Realm Cabinet. Legislative power is vested in the semi-bicameral Erish Folkthing. The judiciary is independent, and follows a civil system of law. The highest court, the Supreme Court, has the power to strike down unconstitutional laws. (See more...)
