Equatannia is incredibly federalized, with regional governments only tasked with approving and enforcing the federal law. Regional assemblies do not formally exist, as no regional legislation would be viewed as legitimate legislation by the federal government. Multiple villages in the northern plains retain more autonomy than other communities in the nation, but are still forced to abide by federal laws regarding every category of issue except trade. Government elections are held on the Federal Holiday of every fourth year, December 5.
=== Human Rights ===
Equatannia has records of some of the best human rights attitudes on Urth. Prejudice and discrimination is claimed to be nearly extinct in the nation and only resides in very few remote communities. Federal laws prohibit all forms of hate-intent discrimination, and personal prejudice is explicitly stated to be outlawed in the constitution. This allows for all-male and all-female organizations to exist due to the varying causes they are activists for and also allows for Dwarven and Ursine-based colleges and universities to hold onto those traditions, while also disallowing the intent of discrimination based on hatred or prejudice toward another group. Many cities contain bars and venues marketed towards LGBT or differing ethnic consumers, but all people are still welcome in the environment. Many Equatannians still have family that were alive to hear the original refugee's stories of war and hardship, which has cultivated a national culture of empathy and kindness towards all peoples.[[File:Geo regions 2.jpg|left|thumb|465x465px|Equatannia's Government Regions, 2020]]

As of March 2020, there is a very strong case being submitted by the city government of Freebelsta to The Supreme Court of Equatannia for review on if the city should be established as a separate fourth government region outside of Greater Equatannia. The Supreme Court plans to announce their decision before the new year.
