The Federation of Ottonian Republics is a federal state, with its current system of federalism dating back to 1935, as a direct consequence of the collapse of the Ottonia City government during the Great Northern War. Due to the swift decapitation of the previous federal government, local and state governments were largely left on their own to coordinate with Federal Army elements, finally reuniting as a political entity with the Skarrsboro Accord of 1936. In those agreements, the various state and local governments subsumed their efforts to overall federal authority, but not one another's authority. This would serve as the foundation in the postwar era for reorganizing the country, allowing for greater local autonomy to the resulting bodies, known in the New Foundation of Ottonia as "Constituent Republics".

Under the North Ottonian system of federalism, the Constituent Republics are granted a high degree of autonomy, being bound only by the tenets of the New Foundation itself and a federal government whose role is largely to coordinate defense and inter-republic affairs. Within those bounds, the Constituent Republics are largely allowed to self-govern, although owing to shared cultural and political backgrounds many of the Republics have similar forms of government, whether through deliberate effort or simple convergence.
