Esmir functions as a federal one-party totalitarian dictatorship. According to its constitution, it is a non-democratic federation of states under the supervision of the supreme leader who is directly held accountable by the people via the [[Legacy Party]], which is guided by the Dahorianist political science. No other political parties are permitted and no elections take place among commoners. The Legacy Party doubles as a thinktank-militia organization, just like its roots. Members engage with the Dahorianist philosophy and learn about its resulting anthropology. Members climb the ranks both by doing community service and by writing analysis.

The Polity of Esmir is composed of 12 states, 5 municipalities, and 14 autonomous people's councils. All 31 of these entities are under the supervision of the supreme leadership and have their own branch of the Legacy Party as parties in of themselves and form the federal council.

States are led by presidents but are not defined as republics. Instead, presidents act as autocrats and are held directly accountable to their people through their state's branch of the Legacy Party. While certain states have certain specifications, they are generally responsible for appointing a state minister, which acts under the president's permission to appoint ministers throughout the government. All of the presidents make up the presidium, which is headed by a presidial chief. The presidial chief is appointed by the supreme leader with the permission of the presidium itself (via an election) and helps guide the presidium to coordinate cooperation between the states in political, economic, and cultural domains. The presidium makes itself accountable to the federal council as opposed to each state doing so in name. Individual states may be called to represent themselves if requested by the supreme leader.

Municipalities are cities with their own government directly accountable to the supreme leadership instead of going through a state. This status is reserved for cities of strategic importance, such as the capital.

Esmir has a unique civil law system based on the imperial model and influenced by Dahorianist legal theory. Judiciary procedures are handled by community struggle sessions, municipal courts, the church, and the Supreme Court. Justice is handled by the community in a struggle session until a party involved in the case requests for a higher court, as the right to a higher court is a constitutional right. Judges are appointed by chapters of the Legacy Party.
