The Second Republic has a hybrid-legislative model wherein all legislative and executive powers are invested in the Council of Five, the leader of whom normally represents the Council but has limited institutional power over his or her peers. The Council is comprised of the hereditary heads of the four largest clans of the Little Chenango people which represent the vast majority of the population. The fifth member is elected from a constituency of all Second Republic citizens who are not members of the four largest clans. The clan leaders serve for life unless removed by a vote of their clan, which a non-governmental function, whereas the fifth, elected, member serves four year terms.

Political movements in the Confederacy are organized as "Leagues", loose alliances of similar political parties and groups within each of the four confederate republics.

There are around seven to ten major leagues within the Confederacy at any one time, with the most powerful one being broadly associated with traditional values,a  nationalist ethos, and a vaguely pro-[[Urcea]]n foreign policy.
