We construct an effective action for Polyakov loops using the eigenvalues of the Polyakov loops as the fundamental variables. We assume Z(N) symmetry in the confined phase, a finite difference in energy densities between the confined and deconfined phases as $T\to 0$, and a smooth connection to perturbation theory for large $T$. The low-temperature phase consists of $N-1$ independent fields fluctuating around an explicitly Z(N) symmetric background. In the low-temperature phase, the effective action yields non-zero string tensions for all representations with non-trivial $N$-ality. Mixing occurs naturally between representations of the same $N$-ality. Sine-law scaling emerges as a special case, associated with nearest-neighbor interactions between Polyakov loop eigenvalues.
