Housatonic is an international charter city under Urcean administration. There are two levels of government within Housatonic, the territorial government - which is heavily influenced by Urcea - and the local, city government, which is run by natives. The governing apparatus of the territory is through the President-Supervisor, who is a native Cronan under the terms of the charter, though often this can mean that a [[Nysdrine people|Nysdrine person]] from [[New Yustona]] is selected for the role. The Government of Urcea selects fifteen different eligible candidates to serve as President-Supervisor, and the people of Housatonic vote to elect the President-Supervisor from the pool of candidates. The Territorial Government, organized by the President-Supervisor, features a ministry and trade board, both of which are under the direct oversight of the Government of Urcea, especially the Ministry of Commerce and Office for Territorial Management. The Territorial Government primarily exercises trade and foreign policy, though it also is empowered by the charter agreement to provide for Catholic missions within the territory. 89% of the territory of Housatonic is within city limits, and the remaining 11% unincorporated territory is subject to more direct supervision from the Territorial Government.

The city of Housatonic itself retains its traditional governing structure, with a City Council made up of ten Ward-Chiefs who elect a Paramount Chief, who serves as the equivalent of Mayor for a ten year period. The Council retains authority over most of the domestic affairs of the city and retains considerable influence within the Territorial Government, though their powers are unwritten and deferential rather than codified within the trade charter agreement.
