The republic is divided into thirteen military districts, each of which has a civil and military governor, as well as four rural regions, which have a military administrator and no formal civil executive. These districts and regions were created during the mid-twentieth century as the scope of the central government was enlarged by military mining interests. During that time, the republic was centralized, but was less and less able to administrate the rapidly expanding bureaucracy to support popular public policies such as free public education, healthcare, and public events. As a result, different proposals were floated to the security council concerning the creation of a special administrative branch of the military or new offices available to civilians. Odingrad, in particular, was quickly growing and without a comprehensive urban plan, slums and suburbs appeared faster than the military could organize. At first the security council attempted to slow the growth to a manageable level by ordering construction work halted, but shanty towns emerged to replace home construction and often evaded efforts from the interior troops to destroy them. The Security Council issued special dispensation to a citizen-organized city council in 1956 and, over the next decade, granted several other cities similar special dispensation. In 1968, after spending hundreds of hours debating individual city requests, the Security Council ordered Cherstam and Malkenod to form city councils and then prevented future requests by organizing the remaining territory into districts under the nearest city-council. | The republic is divided into thirteen military districts, each of which has a civil and military governor, as well as four rural regions, which have a military administrator and no formal civil executive.

From 1968 to 1987 there were no alterations to the established districts. In 1983, however, during a joint session of the Security Council and Constituent Assembly, a group of protestors from Aristovia were allowed into the chamber by an Assemblyman; the protestors were attempting to raise awareness for abuses from the city-centric administration system. While the initial protestors were arrested and the Assemblyman ejected, public outcry continued to escalate, especially in 1985 after the execution of protest leaders.

After this compromise was handed down, Security Council aides began issuing citations and fines for further special dispensation requests. | From 1968 to 1987 there were no alterations to the established districts.

The republic is divided into thirteen military districts, each of which has a civil and military governor, as well as four rural regions, which have a military administrator and no formal civil executive.

In 1968, after spending hundreds of hours debating individual city requests, the Security Council ordered Cherstam and Malkenod to form city councils and then prevented future requests by organizing the remaining territory into districts under the nearest city-council.
