Actually, there is something that is not clear to me. Is the Rheinland Empire absolutist, or constitutional? And if the latter, is it also parliamentary?

Constitutional, parliamentary, with caveats. The caveat being that the Monarch has the absolute authority to institute anti-corruption methods, should corruption be provable, along with dismissing the heads of federal agencies. Law enforcement is also relatively empowered. Slightly more direct crown intervention into the affairs of the state than in Bretonia, but not by a significant margin. Crown mostly intercedes in domestic policy, not foreign policy. The crown is seen as an anticorruption body, as it cannot be corrupted (its wealth and prosperity is entirely drawn from set lands, properties, and wages, and cannot be tempted by private sector kickbacks, like an elected politician can).

Direct democracy exists for the elections for the Empire's equivalent of a Senate and a House of Commmons. There are various chancellors, and systems have their own local administrations. There is not any equivalent of a president - that would be the role taken by the emperor and his retinue.

Oh, and heavily protectionist economics. Non-interventionist foreign policy aimed at the borderworlds, and not the claims of other Houses.

It's much more of a wealthfare state than the old Rheinland republic was, although with 'service by requirement' features. That was what we all collectively decided upon in the imperial government.
