We have 22 self-governing states (and one federal district, the Capital Territory) operating under a federalist and shared-power system. Each state is governed by a Governor and Vice-Governor.

States are semi-sovereign. They are free to administer themselves, set their own laws, establish and maintain their own executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, and control themselves autonomously as long as they do not violate the Constitution doing so.

No at such. We have 20 square Km Barbaria joint Antavianan-NATO military base (ELINT installations). That has special status and is administered since 2000 by the Antavianan ministry of Defense.
The base was established in 1950. We are also members of NATO since 1955.

Under that agreement the base is administered under the agreement of forces. The base will issue, and can deny, entry permits for Antavianan personnel.
Although Antavianan personal can only be prosecuted under Antavianan laws.
The bases can only be transferred back to Antavian sovereignity after both parts agree to terminate or the rent or it expires.
No mass destruction weapons can housed in the bases.
The rent cannot be terminated earlier or extended without both parts agreement.
None of the parts to develop the Sovereign Base Areas for other than military purposes.
The base cannot be transferred to another country.
Not to create customs posts or other frontier barriers between the Sovereign Base Areas and the kingdom. There is VAT exception to goods sell inside the base.
Not to set up or permit the establishment of civilian commercial or industrial enterprises except insofar as these are connected with military requirements, and not otherwise to impair the economic, commercial or industrial unity and life of the Island. Those have be approved by Antavianan Mod.
Not to establish commercial or civilian seaports or airports.
Not to allow new settlement of people in the Sovereign Base Areas other than for temporary purposes.
Not to expropriate private property within the Sovereign Base Areas except for military purposes on payment of fair compensation (50/50).

Sagrea is a unitary state, and as such does not grant autonomy to its districts. All lower government officials are appointed by higher government, and each district must defer to central authority.

Officially no, Aquilara is a unitary state and every region, while having a small local legislature, is essentially an administrative division focused on service delivery.

In reality, some of the deeper parts of the jungle have relatively little government oversight; drug running, cult activity, and special "exclusion zones" are not uncommon.

Neumania has no "federal" subdivisions and is for all intents and purposes a unitary state. There are 5 local government areas for the 5 largest cities. The areas in between these cities are administered by the National Settlements Administration (NSA).

Additionally, the Tienist ethnoreligious minority in the far south of the nation has its own administrative body.

There are 12 regions within Safiloa, and within those regions, cities, towns, islands, and village districts all have varying levels of autonomy.
However, one region known as the "Island of Kambanu" is a special administrative region under the mandate of the state-owned for-profit Kambanu Island Tourism Authority (KITA). Safiloa is a pacifist, agriculturalist, vegan nation where slavery (and other mandatory social contracts in all forms, including matrimony and internships) has been illegal for nearly 1500 years. Though communal ownership of almost all things still exists today in more of Safiloa, after years of colonization and decades of growing poverty in some areas, the Safiloan government initiated the KITA program.

Essentially, on the small desert island of Kambanu, private ownership of property is allowed, dairy and eggs permitted to be consumed, and weddings permitted to be held. Even internships and other social contracts between adults are allowed. For most conservative Safiloans, it is a heretical notion that Kambanu even exists, however, the KITA program ha become very succesful and has allowed for the purchasing of modern medical supplies, medicines and other technological advancements, which cannot be produced otherwise on the island.

Therefore, the Kambanu experiment is a controversial yet mostly accepted aspect of Safiloan culture, similar to the idea of "a necessary evil". There is however some fear that the success of Kambanu might spill over and corrupt other islands' current agriculturalist and communalis leaning nature.

There have been multiple "autonomous" regions de facto in the Crimson Isles, however they are deemed illegal and are subject to harsh suppressing of the autonomous sentiment. As of now there is only one Autonomous region, Estrella, and that is because of the way it became part of the Crimson isles.

Autonomous regions of Rhodevus are given "Imperial Designations", or in English, they are granted semi-autonomy by the crown. Rhodevus has two: the Imperial Territory of the Ile du Fleurs, and the Imperial City of Rhode.

The Imperial Territory of the Ile du Fleurs, is an island territory that operates fairly autonomously on 25% of the land that the full territory makes up, while the remaining 75% acts like a territory of Rhodevus. In this way, for where the autonomy truly applies, the area acts very similarly to a country, lacking only the ability to direct foreign affairs. It has its own police, separate from the rest of the island. It's own court and own holidays separate from the federal ones. While the governor in charge of the entire territorial extent, they have extra authority in the Imperial parts of the territory. As such, they also have a fancy title of Imperial Governor.

The Imperial City of Rhode is a province of Rhodevus with Imperial designation. This status has three-fold importance. As a province, they already have certain structures which are less rigid than a territory. As an imperial territory, the structures are even less so; this grants them extra ability to direct provincial affairs. It's important due to the fact that the ICR contains 1/3 of Rhodevus's population. This numbets boost grants them a very significant political strength. Lastly, the province is also home to the original lands of the Laaban tribe, who have almost complete control of their ancestral lands, making it a sort of country within a country. The premier of the ICR is called the Imperial Premier and has additional power (and responsibilities) compared to other premiers, due to the large population of the province.

At present, no. All of Scotland's thirty-three counties have equal levels of devolved powers. However, there are moves to increase levels of autonomy in certain areas. The Northern Isles League is an alliance of autonomists in Orkney & Shetland that seek the transformation of the two counties into an autonomous realm of Scotland. In the Highlands, the Independence Party is active in the Western Isles (divided between Inverness-shire and Ross & Cromarty) and it campaigns for the establishment of a separate and autonomous Western Isles. Finally, there are numerous movements who wish to reorganise the system of local governance in Scotland. Obair-bhuidhinn originally advocated for a federal Scotland, but now only seeks the establishment of an autonomous Highlands province created from the counties of Inverness-shire, Ross & Cromarty, Sutherland & Caithness, and Nairn. In the Lowlands, the Borders Party advocates the amalgamation of Peeblesshire, Selkirkshire, Roxburghshire, Berwickshire, and Dumfriesshire into a single "Borders" province with a high level of autonomy.

Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

No, although the smallest subdivisions are the municipalities, they have very few powers, while provinces serve only for statistics and electoral purposes. The Riograndense Republic is a unitary state in which most decisions are made in the national sphere of government (the Union) rather than regional ones, although cities and towns do have elected councils that provide the local administration with laws not covered by the union.

Semi-Federalism

Postby Saint Neots » Fri May 05, 2023 11:53 am

Saint Neots's subdivisions are semi-federalised, with no autonomous regions due to the Citizens First policy, which regards people by nationality and not ethnicity or race. Any holder of Saint Neotsen citizenship is considered to be Saint Neotsen, so the government, currently, feels that there are no need for autonomous regions or states due to the overwhelming majority of the population being holders of Saint Neotsen citizenship.

Although the country was unified, the old way, with missionaries stating working that those tribes living in sin. There is teaching of (tupi-Guarani in classes but that's optional.
Beloura also has a different accent sometimes difficult to understand. There are 4 main tribes in the country all represented in Parliament and alliangance to the king.
