The Government of Easway [Errantous Ezerrye in Easwegian] is the Directorial Government created by the 2019 Constitution of Easway as the sole all encompassing authority for the Realm of Easway and its two Commonwealths, Bear Island and the Pomors Strait and its municipalities of Essrina, Boriopa, Urdport and the Pomors Municipality.

The government contains the Imperial Council,containing the Emperor 4 Marquis (one for each municipality), and 2 Aldermen acting as collective heads of state, the National Directorate containing 10 Directors (5 for each Island region) acting as joint heads of government, and the Prefectural Assembly made up of Prefects (12 in total) which acts as local government within the Municipal Councils, led by a Marquis.

Before 2019 and after the independence of Easway in 2017, the ruling authority of Easway was known as the Provisional Government.

## Provisional Government

**The Provisional Government of the Mainland of Easway on Bear Island** was the transitional government of Bear Island set up on the 14th of December by the Ouroboros' Serpents of Easway Party who created a National Committee with the purpose of electing a head of state. The people appointed the Emizerri, the then leader of the OSEP as Emperor who created the Chancellery as its highest body acting as the head office of state. The name Mainland/Homeland (Easwegian: Elëcska) indicated that it was administering the largest bloc of the Easwegian People, but that the Realm had further to go to be complete.

The Provisional government's first act was appointing Commissar of Easway Aleksou Maximus Desourrë as the second Grand Marshal of the Easwegian Militia, then known by its revolutionary term as Chaape (serpents). Maximus would hold this title during the entirety of the Provisional Government, although when he became President of Easway on June 12th 2018, the position became merged with President and so fell out of use, instead being replaced with "commander in chief".

The main task of the Provisional Government was to realise the economic advantages of Bear Island and create a political and economic philosophy which allowed the Easwegian people to leave the feudal state they had been left in due to the Norwegian policies surrounding the island during their occupation, especially since 2002, and bringing fourth a stable, democratic, and human rights focused society which allowed suffrage for the Easwegian people as well as maintaining the equal co-operation with Norwegian speaking inhabitants who remained on the Island. The main vehicle that was originally used for this was the People's Committees who acted as local Governmental organs of the original National Committee and were made of people each advocating and implementing their own policies for the nation. This included nationalist, communist, and capitalist factions. National policy advocated by the committees was to be recommended to the Emperor who implemented it both by its merit and popular backing. The Emizerri was often focused on building the cultural state as well as reforming and creating a new written Easwegian language and so left governmental matters to local polities, arbitration when necessary. During the provisional government Easway was described as an adhocracy.
