The Confederacy consists of four confederate units known as ''Republics''. Unlike many other confederate and federate states, each of the republics is numbered rather than named for the place or people it encompasses. Accordingly, the ''First Republic'' encompasses the lands of the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#E-H|Great Chenango]] people, the ''Second Republic'' of the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Little Chenango]] people, and the ''Third Republic'' of the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Island Honeoye]]. The Republics are largely free to determine their own form of government and how it functions. In [[2033]], the territory of [[Pachaug]] was incorporated as the ''Fourth Republic''. | The Confederacy consists of four confederate units known as ''Republics''.

The First, Third, | The First, Third, and Fourth Republics share the same form of government which is based on the model of the [[Government_of_Urcea#Province|Urcean province]] except with unicameral rather than bicameral legislatures that elect the Republic's chief executive, in each case referred to as the "Republican Executive". The unicameral legislature for both the First and Third Republics are simply referred to as the "Republican Constituent Assembly", which assigns its own electoral districts on a decade-by-decade basis. Republican Executives are typically chosen by heritage rather than by political party within the First, Third, and Fourth Republics, with relatives typically succeeding along clan or tribal basis. In both of these Republics, terms for the legislature are five years along [[Urcea|Urcean]] lines; the Republican Executive serves at the confidence of the legislature. | ||
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. | 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.
