The government of Eemsmerschen is a confederal 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. For reasons of modern practicality, the Lawspeaker was granted the ceremonial role of Head of Government, however he is equal among the Hovetlinge that appointed him.
- 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 Buernsenaat is the highest court in Eemsmerschen, presiding over the regional courts (Kreisgerichte). The judges of the regional courts themselves are appointed by their respective 9 Hovetlinge.
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. During times of war, the lack of an executive figure is dealt with by the 72 Hovetlinge electing a general to the temporary position of Commander-in-Chief. Otherwise, the 9 Hovetlinge from each county elect a general for their respective counties.
For any change in the constitution, a referendum within the Rechtsraat is mandatory; for any change in a law, a referendum can be requested. In addition, the people may present a constitutional popular initiative to introduce amendments to the federal constitution, subject to discussion and approval by the Rechtsraat.
