View source for Local Government in Byennordvest

[[Byennordvest]] is a {{wp|Decentralization|decentralised}}  {{wp|Unitary state}} with two levels of local government. Byennordvest is divided into five regions which are heavily interwoven in the history and culture of the nation. The regions of Byennordvest have gradually gained more autonomy over local affairs since the [[Byeansk Republic]] was founded in the aftermath of the [[Byeansk Civil War]] of the late 18th century. However, it was not until the new constitution and restoration of the [[Monarchy of Byennordvest]] in 1884 that the regions had any significant form of self government. Further powers were given to the regions in 1967 under Prime Minister Henry Ruufmass when an ammendment to the Byeansk constitution alllowed for the creation of regional legislatures or ''Økyslögting''. Each regional legislature has the same authority but all are abholdent to the oversight of the national [[Hymerinting]].
