It is a semi-democratic government consisting of a Congressionally nominated and Presidentially approved Cabinet of the Imperial President and an unelected Imperial President, who has limited power, but serves for life. Chesapeake has several additional offices including the offices of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of War, the Office of the Secretary of Culture, the Secretary of Appearances, the Secretary General, the General of the Chattanooga Armed Forces of Chesapeake and the Office of the World Assembly Delegate - Chesapeake. The League also has an active roleplay and wiki.

Government and politics
The government is regulated by the Constitution of the Republic, which serves as the region's supreme legal document. The Constitution establishes the structure and responsibilities of both the Consulate and the Council. The Constitution has been amended an unknown number of times. Other agencies, collectively known as the executive departments, manage other elements of The League's government.

The League's Government comprises of two major entities:


 * Legislative: The unicameral Council of the Republic, made up of elected Council Delegates, votes on bills to create or reform new agencies, laws, or pass motions.
 * Executive/Judicial: The unelected Consulate of the Republic acts collectively to administer regional security, run the Court of the Republic, veto legislative bills before they become law if necessary, and appoint the Directors of the executive departments.

The Council Delegates are elected through a process of nomination and confirmation that occurs on a bimonthly/monthly basis.

Foreign affairs
The League’s foreign affairs are handled by the Consulate and the Director of Foreign Affairs. They work to improve relations with partner regions, establish treaties with allied regions, and maintain open channels of information. A staff of diplomatic agents support the Director, particularly in distributing the monthly Foreign Affairs report and other diplomatic messages.

Military
The League’s military is known as the League’s Defense Force, and it has operated since 2016. In its current form as a stanch defender military, the LDF has over 800 updates with interregional defense organization Libcord. The current general of the LDF is Makasta, who has served for nearly a year in the position.

Culture
Running cultural events is the purview of the Director of Culture, who runs the Department of Culture to pursue the betterment of the Republic through enriching its culture.

Culture
Roleplay (often abbreviated as RP) has been a part of the League since almost its inception. In September 2019, the League's longest running RP, known as the Terraconserva Worldbuilding RP, began.
