Weissmark is a semi-constitutional monarchy. The bicameral National Diet is made up of the Chamber of Councilors and the Assembly of the People's Representatives. The former is made up of 50 councilors, of which 35 are elected by the Assembly and 15 appointed by the Grand Duke. The Assembly is made up of 112 representatives elected in direct elections on the basis of proportional representation.
