The government of the Kingdom of Eshein is a federal presidential system of governance alongside a ceremonial monarchy. The country is a federal presidential constitutional monarchy that is divided into six sub-divisions; four states and two regions.

The modern system was set in the 1867 when the powers of the Eshen monarchy were restrained and some of its authorities were divided between the president and the Folkhalter in a series of major constitutional amendments. Most of the Eshen constitution remains as it was written in 1806- with the addition of 12 amendments.

Since 1902, Eshein has a total separation between all three branches of the government: The legislative branch (the Folkhalter), executive branch (the president and cabinet) and the judicial branch (federal constitutional court and state supreme courts).

The Eshen Monarchy

The current monarchical system was established in 1806 amidst the Eshen revolutionary war by the first queen of Eshein, Queen Angela, which is often referred to as "The Founder".

Before the current system, The history of the Eshen people is filled with a variety of other monarchs, both as a united land and as a divided one but they are not considered as Eshen monarchs since they predeceased the establishment of the current sovereign country of Eshein.

Since 1806, Eshein had seven monarchs, all of them belong to the Halensk royal family, including the reigning queen, Queen Helena, that took the throne in 1979. The Eshen rule of succession, as it was written by a woman, has never differentiated between a male hair and a female one, and it regards only the order of birth. The current hair apparent to the throne is the eldest son of Queen Helena, Maykel, Prince of Haugsburg.
