Government
Although Pimicikamak has four councils, Pimicikamak government is, like that of Switzerland, inseparable from the people, with strong elements of direct democracy. Its First Written Law provides for modern customary laws in writing to be accepted by consensus of a general assembly of the Pimicikamak public. National policy is established by consensus of the Four Councils. The Executive Council is responsible for giving effect to national policy.
