The '''federal entities of Alaoyi''', also referred to as the '''first level divisions''' of Alaoyi, or simply as '''entities of the federative republic''', are the main constituent entities of Alaoyi, the top-level political division below the national government, according to the [[Alaoyian Constitution of 1989|Alaoyian Constitution]]. All Alaoyian federal entities are either contiguous or just offshore the mainland.
The '''federal entities of Alaoyi''', also referred to as the '''first level divisions''' of Alaoyi, as '''entities of the Federative Republic''', or '''states of Alaoyi''' (after the common unit of subnational government among Galian nations) are the main constituent entities of Alaoyi, the top-level political division below the national government, according to the [[Alaoyian Constitution of 1989|Alaoyian Constitution]]. All Alaoyian federal entities are either contiguous or just offshore the mainland.


According the Alaoyian Constitution, the [[Alaoyi|Federative Republic]] consists of 29 [[Provinces of Alaoyi|provinces]], 13 [[Counties of Alaoyi|counties]], 12 [[Districts of Alaoyi|districts]], eight [[Federal Cities of Alaoyi|federal cities]], two [[Autonomous Republics of Alaoyi|autonomous republics]], two [[Autonomous Communities of Alaoyi|autonomous communities]], and a [[Greater Cetanni Commonwealth|single]] [[National Commonwealth (Alaoyi)|national commonwealth]], all of which have differing levels of autonomy within their own borders. Autonomous communities, despite being autonomous within their own borders, are only entited to a single representative on the [[Alaoyian National Council|National Council]] and are not considered separate in terms of [[Alaoyian Senate|Senatorial representation]]. According to the Alaoyian Constitution, it is forbidden for the Parliament to redraw the borders of any entity, and any special autonomous divisions can only have their status changed with a two thirds vote.

Every federal subject has its own head, a parliament, and a constitutional court. Each federal subject has its own constitution or charter and legislation, although the authority of these organs differ. Subjects have equal rights in relations with federal government bodies.[1] The federal subjects have equal representation—two delegates each—in the Federation Council, the upper house of the Federal Assembly. They do, however, differ in the degree of autonomy they enjoy; republics are offered more autonomy.
Every federal entity has its own head, a parliament, and a constitutional court. Each federal entity has its own constitution or charter and legislation, although the authority of these organs differ. Subjects have equal rights in relations with federal government bodies. The federal entites have equal representation—four delegates each—in the National Council, the upper house of the [[Alaoyian Federal Parliament|Federal Parliament]]. They do, however, differ in the degree of autonomy they enjoy; certain divisions are offered more autonomy. The government of entities varies wildly, the only limitation being that they must be a democratically elected and republican government.


Post-Soviet Russia formed during the history of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic within the USSR and did not change at the time of the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. In 1992, during so-called "parade of sovereignties", separatist sentiments and the War of Laws within Russia, the Russian regions signed the Federation Treaty (Russian: Федеративный договор Federativny dogovor),[5] establishing and regulating the current inner composition of Russia, based on the division of authorities and powers among Russian government bodies and government bodies of constituent entities. The Federation Treaty was included in the text of the 1978 Constitution of the Russian SFSR. The current Constitution of Russia, adopted by national referendum on 12 December 1993, came into force on 25 December 1993 and abolished the model of the Soviet system of government introduced in 1918 by Vladimir Lenin and based on the right to secede from the country and on unlimited sovereignty of federal subjects (in practice secession was never allowed), which conflicts with the country's integrity and federal laws. The new constitution eliminated a number of legal conflicts, reserved the rights of the regions, introduced local self-government and did not grant the Soviet-era right to secede from the country. In the late 1990s and early 2000s the political system became de jure closer to other modern federal states with a republican form of government in the world. In the 2000s, following the policies of Vladimir Putin and of the ruling United Russia party, the Russian parliament changed the distribution of tax revenues, reduced the number of elections in the regions and gave more power to the federal authorities.
 
 
=Background=
The first subdivisions in what is now Alaoyi occured in the early 1800s when the colony established by Alanna was divided into several colonial governments. As the [[Colonial Alaoyi|Alaoyian colonies]] developed further and expanded south and east, the imperial government chose to establish three categories of colony; <br>
* Viceroyalities, which had an Alannan viceroy appointed by the monarch and who served in conjunction with a locally elected parliament. The viceroy would manage the government according to the wants of the local parliament. By 1870, all viceroys almost always deferred to an elected parliament, leaving them as merely ceremonial officers. Viceroyalities could remove their viceroys if they so chose, and by 1870 viceroyal candidates were "recommended" by the local parliament, with the Alannan monarch almost always appointing the recommended candidate. Viceroyalities tended to consist of the largest and most well established colonies.
* Districts, like viceroys, began as imperial governors without a democratically elected parliament. However, by 1870, districts had begun to allow for locally elected parliaments, although the appointed imperial governor still wielded considerable authority. Districts tended to be newer colonies, but were not considered the frontier of the Alannan colonies.
* Territories were predominantly areas with considerable Diash and Nuwelander populations. Their governments were appointed by the monarch and could be compared to military occupation zones.
 
After 1870, the system was overhauled. Viceroyalities and districts were made into "protectorates", which had locally elected legislatures and governors, with considerable autonomy within their own borders. The imperial government was represented by a governor-general, a candidate appointed by the monarch with the approval of both the protectorate government and the [[Royal Diet of Alanna (Imperial Era)|Royal Diet]]. Territories were made into imperial territories was less populated, and had local governors appointed by the monarch. The Alaoyian colonies as a whole were represented in the Royal Diet by several representatives, and each protectorate was allowed to appoint a viceroy to represent it in the imperial court, and eventually in the Cabinet as well. These viceroys remained, even when the various Alaoyian protectorates and territories were united into the [[Dominion of Alaoyi]].
 
In the [[Confederate Alaoyi|Confederate Era]], the former protectorates and territories became regions, with regions subdivided into districts. Some regions, such as those primarily populated by Alannan-descended colonists, were wealthy democracies, while other regions, particularly those with high pale populations, suffered as authoritarian regimes under ewezuga. With the end of the ewezuga system, the regional governments were abolished and power was decentralized to local provinces, counties, and districts.


=Types=
=Types=
In Alaoyi, a federal entity is a constituent political entity, of which there are 68. Alaoyian federal entities are members of the Federative Republic, also called the Federal Union. Each entity holds governmental jurisdiction over a defined territory in which it shares its sovereignty with the central government or, in the case of autonomous communities, the district. Because of this, Alaoyians are citizens of both the federal state and of the entity in which they reside. Citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required for a citizen to move between two entities unless that person is restricted by a court order (those awaiting trial, paroled convicts, or children with divorced parents who share custody).
Governments of federal entities are allocated power by  the people through their individual founding charters. All charters are, by constitutional requirement, grounded in democratic republican systems. However, considerable variation exists between different entities. For instance, the county of [[Blinnobair]] has a directorial system, with a council of seven serving as executive, while the district of [[Nkeugwu Ocolin]] has a parliamentary system, where the premier is elected by a parliament and serves so long as he has the confidence of the district parliament. Additionally, some entities function as what are comparable to unitary systems, while others have considerable devolution to local authorities.
Historically, the tasks of local law enforcement, public education, public health, intrastate commerce regulation, and local transportation and infrastructure, in addition to the management of elections, have generally been considered primarily local responsibilities, although all of these now have significant federal funding and regulation as well. Over time, the situation has changed. The general tendency has been toward decentralization, with the federal government playing a much smaller role than it once did under the [[Confederate Alaoyi|Confederation Era]]. There is a continuing debate over local rights, which concerns the extent and nature of the powers and sovereignty of federal entities in relation to the federal government and the rights of individuals.
==Provinces==
The most common type of federal entity, with 29 total, provinces are considered to be "first-level entities", a term used by Alaoyi's constitution after a dispute for the term over the regional governments ended with a compromise of allowing each region to name itself. Areas which spoke primarily {{wp|Afrikaans|Nuwelander}} declared themselves to be provinces, after the original regional government of the [[Nuweland Empire]]. In area, they range in size from [[Kalenhaal]] ('''TBD'''), the smallest, to [[Drenthe]] ('''TBD'''), the largest. In terms of population, they range from [[Koue Streek]] ('''TBD'''), the least populous, to [[Aoere]] ('''TBD'''), the most populous.
Like other first-level entities, provinces have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. Most provinces tend to operate on a common law system, although the border-province of [[Leeugge]] uses a mixed-system. Provinces are considered partially sovereign, their rights cannot be revoked by the central government. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi.
Local government varies wildly; eleven provinces use presidential systems, eight provinces use parliamentary systems, eight use a consular system, one uses a directorial system, and one uses a democratic oligarchic system.
==Counties==
The second most common type of federal entity, with 14 total, counties are considered to be "first-level entities", a term used by Alaoyi's constitution after a dispute for the term over the regional governments ended with a compromise of allowing each region to name itself. Areas which spoke primarily [[Diash Language|Diash]] declared themselves to be counties, after the original disparate governments of [[Old Dialand]], which were ruled by counts. In area, they range in size from [[Cluaindon]] ('''TBD'''), the smallest, to [[O’Brian]] ('''TBD'''), the largest. In terms of population, they range from [[Féasóubh]] ('''TBD'''), the least populous, to [[Cnoichaoithe]] ('''TBD'''), the most populous.
Like other first-level entities, counties have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. Ten counties tend to operate on a mixed civil-common law system, with two using civil law and a third using common law. Counties are considered partially sovereign, their rights cannot be revoked by the central government. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi.
Local government varies wildly; five counties use directorial systems, three counties use parliamentary systems, three use consular systems, and three use presidential systems.
==Districts==
The third most common type of federal entity, with 12 total, districts are considered to be "first-level entities", a term used by Alaoyi's constitution after a dispute for the term over the regional governments ended with a compromise of allowing each region to name itself. Areas which spoke primarily [[Ndibeanyan Language|Ndibeanyan]] or other Alannan languages declared themselves to be districts, after the original subnational divisions of the [[Alannan Empire]], which called its colonies dominions. In area, they range in size from [[Alaọhụrụ]] ('''TBD'''), the smallest, to [[Ụlọm]] ('''TBD'''), the largest. In terms of population, they range from [[Imithi Emide]] ('''TBD'''), the least populous, to [[Okenkeagba]] ('''TBD'''), the most populous.
Like other first-level entities, districts have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. All 12 districts operate on a civil-law system inherited from the Alannan Empire. Districts are considered partially sovereign, their rights cannot be revoked by the central government. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi.
Local government varies wildly; six districts use presidential systems, five districts use parliamentary systems, and a directorial system is used by one district.
==Federal Cities==
The fourth most common type of federal entity, with eight total, is the federal city. Despite nominally lying within the borders of other entities, federal cities are cities which the Alaoyian central government has declared to be "of federal importance" and are therefore self-governing.
Like the first-level entities, federal cities are entitled to make their own internal laws, manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi. However, federal cities are not considered sovereign, but are rather considered autonomous under an Alaoyian law. While first-level entities have their rights guaranteed by the constitution, and are therefore sovereign, federal cities are granted their rights by legislation passed by the Parliament, and are therefore are considered to be merely autonomous. However, they are considered full-fledged federal entities and elect full delegations to the National Council and have considerable local powers.
Due to their autonomous nature, federal cities lack charters or constitutions and instead have organic acts, passed by Parliament. All eight federal cities therefore have strong mayor-council governments, though local terms vary.
==Associated Republics==
Tied for fifth most common type of entity, with two total (the [[Free State of Inithia]] and the [[Marchan Democratic Republic]], is the associated republic. Associate republics have considerable concentrations of minority groups and therefore are granted sovereignty. Despite being larger than the Marchan Republic ('''TBD VS TBD''', Inithia is less populous than the Marchan Republic, with '''TBD''' people to the Marchan Republic's population of '''TBD'''.
Like first-level entities and federal cities, associated republics are entitled to make their own internal laws, manage local governments, and have their own constitutions. Additionally, associated republics can secede from Alaoyi, unilaterally if a 55% majority of their population chooses, or bilaterally if the Alaoyian Parliament and local legislative bodies choose to mutually terminate the agreement, in which case a simple majority in a referendum is needed. This extra sovereignty is because, legally speaking, associated republics are independent states that have ceded matters relating to national defense and foreign policy to Alaoyi while entering into a customs and economic union with Alaoyi.
Inithia uses a civil-common mixed legal system with a federal directorial republican government. In contrast, the Marchan Republic uses a full civil law legal system with a unitary parliamentary republican government.
==Autonomous Communities==
Tied for fifth most common type of entity, with two total (the [[Ikhetese Autonomous Community]] and the [[Vanhish Autonomous Community]], is the autonomous community. The autonomous communities are technically parts of districts, with the Ikhetese Community being a part of [[Amahọhụrụ]] and the Vanhish Community being a part of [[Asaba]]. Despite being larger than the Ikhetese Community ('''TBD VS TBD'''), the Vanhish Community is less populous than the Ikhetese one, with '''TBD''' people to '''TBD''' people.
Autonomous communities are, like federal cities, not considered sovereign but rather autonomous, being created by Parliament from districts. The status of an autonomous community can be revoked with a two thirds vote in the Parliament. While autonomous communities have veto power over district law, they are much more restricted in their local affairs and are considered subordinate to districts. They are not considered full-fledged entity, but the local parliament of each community has the right to appoint one of the members of the district's delegation to the National Council.
Both the Ikhetese and Vanhish communities use civil-law systems under a presidential system, with the local governor being ''de jure'' appointed by the district executive, but ''de facto'' elected in what is legally, but not in practice, a non-binding referendum.
==National Commonwealths==
The least common type of federal entity is the national commonwealth, of which there is only one: the [[Greater Cetanni Commonwealth]]. A national commonwealth consists of a nationally recognized minority group and are considered sovereign, with similar powers to a first-level entity. The Greater Cetanni Commonwealth has a population of '''TBD''' and is the only current national commonwealth. The Vanhish Community was, at one point, considered a national commonwealth until 2004, when it became an autonomous community.
Like other first-level entities, national commonwealths have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi. The main difference between a national commonwealth and other first-level entities is that they, like autonomous communities, may set lingual or ethnic requirements to hold certain offices while first-level entities are explicitly banned from doing so.
The Greater Cetanni Commonwealth uses a common law system and operates under a directorial government. It has heavy devolution, with signifigant power granted to the municipal governments. The "town meeting" tradition of direct democracy is practiced heavily in the Commonwealth.
=Government=
==Entity Governments==
===Presidential System===
Ten provinces, three counties, six districts, both autonomous communities, and all eight federal cities use some form of the presidential system. A presidential system, or single executive system, is a form of government in which a head of government leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch in systems that use separation of powers. In a presidential system, the head of government is directly or indirectly elected by a group of citizens and is not responsible to the legislature, and the legislature cannot dismiss the president except in extraordinary cases.
In most first-level entities (the exceptions being; [[Ụlọm]], [[Duff]], [[Romsten]], [[Stukkart]], and [[Lanava]]), the executive is elected by popular vote and presides over the executive branch. The local legislature, usually called a senate or an assembly, serves as the legislative branch. In provinces, these tend to be named ''president'' and ''senaat'' (senate), in countries these tend to be the ''uachtarán '' (presider) and ''reachtas'' (legislature), while in districts the terms are ''ọkà okwu'' (presider) and ''mgbakọ'' (assembly).
In Ụlọm, Romsten, and Stukkart, a ''onisi'' (Ụlọm, meaning executive) or ''provinsiale dagbestuur'' (Romsten and Stukkart, provincial executive) is elected by the legislature but is not subject to no-confidence votes, and are therefore referred to as "assembly-independent". In Duff and Lanava, the ''uachtarán'' (Duff) or ''president''(Lanava) is elected by an electoral college.
Terms vary, with most districts having terms of five to six years and provinces having terms of two to three years. Two of the counties which use a presidential system have a five year term, while Dunhans uses a three year term.
====Mayor-Council System====
All eight federal cities use a mayor-council system, where a mayor is elected by all voting citizens in the city and a city council is elected in local neighborhoods. The mayor leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative city council. Due to the similarity between a mayor-council system and a presidential system, the mayor-council system is generally considered a subtype of the presidential system.
In [[Katwijk]], [[Seekant]], [[Rivierkant]], and [[Cathaisce]], the council is called the Board of Aldermen while the mayor is called the ''burgemeester''. In [[Meirleach]], the mayor is called a ''seanduine príomh'' while the councilors are referred to as ''seanóirí''. In [[Dimboru]] and [[Biyonummri]], councilors are known as ''kanselo'' with the mayor called a ''onye-isi-oche''. In [[Magada]], the mayor-equivalent is called a ''egzekitif vil la'' while the council is called a ''konsèy''.
All federal cities have council terms of three years, with mayoral and council elections being held at the same time. The next cycle of elections will be in [[2023 Alaoyian Elections]].
===Parliamentary System===
A parliamentary system, or parliamentarian democracy, is a system  where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the support ("confidence") of the legislature, typically a parliament, to which it is accountable. This contrasts to the presidential system, where the legislative and executive branches are separated from one another.
In Alaoyi, the system is used by several entities, including eight provinces, three counties, five districts, and the Marchan Democratic Republic. In provinces the chief of government is called a ''hoofminister'' (chief minister), in counties it is a ''taoiseach'' (chief), while districts the chief of government is called a ''mbụ onye ozi'' (first minister).
Provinces tend to have elected heads-of-province, called ''goewerneur-generaal'' (governor-general) while counties lack the position of head-of-county entirely. Districts have a ''gọvanọ'' (governor) who is appointed by the president of Alaoyi. The Marchan Republic uses a ''gouvènè anchèf'' (head governor) who then appoints the ''premye minis'' (prime minister).
===Directorial System===
A directorial republic is a country ruled by a college of several people who jointly exercise the powers of a head of state and/or a head of government.
In Alaoyi, directorial governments are most commonly used by Cetanni groups, such as the Diash counties or Naossian Greater Cetanni Commonwealth. Only the province of [[Leeugge]] and district of [[Alaọhụrụ]] use directorial systems. In Diash speaking areas, the size of the council ranges from a minimum of five ([[Crantreach]]) to fifteen ([[Blinnobair]]).  Councilors are called ''comhairleoir'' while a ''cathaoirleach'' (chairman) presides over meetings of the council. In Leeugge, the councilors are formally called ''goewerneur'' (governor) and are presided over by a ''hoofgoewerneur'' (chief governor). In Alaọhụrụ, the councilors are called ''nwoke-iwu'' (man of law) and the presiding officer is called a ''onyeisi oche'' (presiding officer).
In three counties, the council is elected by the people directly. In the other two counties, Alaọhụrụ, Leeugge, and the Greater Cetanni Commonwealth the council is directly elected by the people. Their terms vary from three years (Blinnobair) to up to six years ([[Cluaindon]]).
===Consular System===
Used in eight provinces and three counties, a consular system is one where two rulers exercise power as the executive, each with a veto over the other one. It is similar, but not identical, to a semi-presidential system. Though not a requirement, in Alaoyi one ruler acts as executive while the other presides over the legislature. The consent of both is needed to pass legislation.
In four provinces, the consular system's executives are referred to as a ''konsul'' (consul), from where the name originates. In one province, [[Beenten and Visser]], they are called a ''halwe-liniaal''. (half a ruler). In [[Jenkart]], they are both referred to as ''president''. In all three counties, they are ''ceannaire duel'' (duel ruler).
Requirements and procedures vary. In Beenten and Visser and [[Koue Streek]] each ruler must come from a different region as the other one, with each being elected by a separate house of the provincial parliament. In [[O'Brian]], one ruler must be an Inith and the other must be Diash and both are directly elected by the people. In all other jurisdictions, one ruler is elected by the parliament and the other is elected by the people in popular election.
Terms vary, from two year terms in Koue Streek to a four year term in Jenkart.
===Democratic Oligarchy System===
Only one entity, the province of [[Drenthe]], uses the democratic oligarchy system. Rather than having a separate legislative-executive body, Drenthe's [[List of Cantons in Drenthe|twenty nine cantons]] each elect a single cantonal executive. These executives form the Drenthe Provincial Council, which serves both as a collective executive branch and a legislative branch. The Provincial Council serves a six year term, with the chairmanship of the council rotating between members for a single year-long term.
==Local Governments==
Local governments in Alaoyi are complex as well. In general, the national designation of "precinct" and "municipality" are used to refer broad subdivisions of a federal entity and local governments of singular settlements, respectively. However, while all federal subjects have precincts and munipalities, variation according to terminology and powers is present.
For terminology, while the national designations of precinct and municipality are considered acceptable neutral terms in common parlance, different regions refer them as different terms. In Nuwelander speaking areas, the term ''pakkie'' (parcel) is used for precincts and ''wyk'' (ward) is used to refer to municipalities. In Diash speaking areas, ''sír'' (shire) and ''bailecheantar'' (township) are used. In Ndibeanyan areas, the terms ''idobere'' (reserve) and ''mpaghara'' (locality) are used.
===Strong Precinct System===
The strong precinct system refers to a system where local government is primarily done at the precinct level. Precincts provide many facilities, such as airports, convention centers, museums, recreation centers, beaches, harbors, zoos, clinics, law libraries, and public housing. They provide services such as child and family services, elder services, mental health services, welfare services, veterans assistance services, animal control, probation supervision, historic preservation, food safety regulation, and environmental health services. They have many additional officials like public defenders, arts commissioners, human rights commissioners, and planning commissioners. There may be a county fire department and a county police department – as distinguished from fire and police departments operated by individual cities. Additionally, school systems are operated by precincts.
In precincts using this system, they most often have an elected legislative body and local governor, although several districts have appointed governors instead.
This system is most used in districts, with all districts using this form of organization, although the county of [[Dyflinn]] and the provinces of Jenkart, Koue Streek, and [[Romsten]] use this system as well.
===Strong Municipal System===
The strong municipal system refers to a system where local government is primarily done at the municipal level. In federal entities using this system, precincts function at most as judicial districts, census divisions, and sometimes law enforcement powers in rural areas. However, most governmental authority below the immediate federal entity government is in the hands of local municipalities, which provide the vast majority of local government duties. If a government service is too large or complex to be done by a single municipality, the federal entity government will step in. While precincts may still exist, their authority is limited compared with a precinct government in a district—they have authority only over infrastructure and land use planning, distribution of first-level entity and federal funds for infrastructure projects, emergency preparedness, and limited law enforcement duties.
In areas using this system, precinct governments tend to be elected democratic oligarchic systems, with the local council being the sole legislative and executive body present.
This system is most used in the majority of provinces, although the Greater Cetanni Commonwealth uses this system as well. Additionally, provinces bordering the borders with former Dialand tend to use the combined system.
====Mayor-Council====
A mayor-council system is a system where a mayor is elected by all voting citizens in the city and a city council is elected in local neighborhoods. The mayor leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative city council and functions as an independent executive, separate from the legislature.
This system is typically used in large cities in provinces and counties.
====Manager-Council====
In a manager-council system, an elected governing body, usually called a city council, board of aldermen, or similar title, is responsible for legislative functions such as establishing policy, passing local ordinances, voting appropriations, and developing an overall vision, similar to a corporate board of directors. The council appoints a city manager to oversee the administrative operations, implement its policies, and advise it. The manager position is similar to that of a corporate chief executive officer appointed by a board of directors. The position of "mayor" present in this type of legislative body is a largely ceremonial title.
This system is most commonly used in midsized cities in provinces and counties.
====Strong Council====
The strong council system refers to a system where a local directorial council governs the municipality. These councils constitute the legislative body of the city and, as a group, are responsible for taxation, appropriations, ordinances, and other general functions. Individual councilors are also assigned executive responsibility for a specific aspect of municipal affairs, such as public works, finance, or public safety. This form of government thus blends legislative and executive branch functions in the same body.
This is most commonly used in smaller towns and villages in provinces, where municipalities have considerable power.
====Administrative Mayor====
The administrative mayor system typically means an elected local official, equivalent to a mayor, serves as the administrator of the decrees of upper tiers of government and in ceremonial purposes. This system is exclusively used in districts, where the municipal government is very weak and lacks power, effectively leaving them as ceremonial or geographic divisions for administrative purposes.
===Combined System===
In contrast to the strong municipal or strong precinct system, the combined system has municipalities provide services within their own borders while precincts handle rural areas without municipal governments present. Precincts will typically provide, at a minimum, courts, public utilities, libraries, hospitals, public health services, parks, roads, law enforcement, and jails. There is usually a registrar, recorder, or clerk (the exact title varies) who collects vital statistics, holds elections (sometimes in coordination with a separate elections office or commission), and prepares or processes certificates of births, deaths, marriages, and dissolutions (divorce decrees). The registrar normally maintains the official record of all real estate transactions. Other key officials include the coroner/medical examiner, treasurer, assessor, auditor, comptroller, and district attorney.In many entites, precincts control all unincorporated lands within their boundaries. Residents of unincorporated land who are dissatisfied with county-level or township-level resource allocation decisions can attempt to vote to incorporate as a city, town, or village and thus grant municipal status.
Entites using this system tend to have strong elected councils, similar to the government in a strong precinct system, in rural areas while the consolidated municipal-precinct governments tend to be elected along similar lines to a normal municipality.
This system is mostly used in counties and Cetanni areas, although some provinces use this system as well.

SubdivisionsMunicipalities

The federal entities of Alaoyi, also referred to as the first level divisions of Alaoyi, as entities of the Federative Republic, or states of Alaoyi (after the common unit of subnational government among Galian nations) are the main constituent entities of Alaoyi, the top-level political division below the national government, according to the Alaoyian Constitution. All Alaoyian federal entities are either contiguous or just offshore the mainland.

According the Alaoyian Constitution, the Federative Republic consists of 29 provinces, 14 counties, 12 districts, eight federal cities, two autonomous republics, two autonomous communities, and a single national commonwealth, all of which have differing levels of autonomy within their own borders. Autonomous communities, despite being autonomous within their own borders, are only entited to a single representative on the National Council and are not considered separate in terms of Senatorial representation. According to the Alaoyian Constitution, it is forbidden for the Parliament to redraw the borders of any entity, and any special autonomous divisions can only have their status changed with a two thirds vote.

Every federal entity has its own head, a parliament, and a constitutional court. Each federal entity has its own constitution or charter and legislation, although the authority of these organs differ. Subjects have equal rights in relations with federal government bodies. The federal entites have equal representation—four delegates each—in the National Council, the upper house of the Federal Parliament. They do, however, differ in the degree of autonomy they enjoy; certain divisions are offered more autonomy. The government of entities varies wildly, the only limitation being that they must be a democratically elected and republican government.


Background

The first subdivisions in what is now Alaoyi occured in the early 1800s when the colony established by Alanna was divided into several colonial governments. As the Alaoyian colonies developed further and expanded south and east, the imperial government chose to establish three categories of colony;

  • Viceroyalities, which had an Alannan viceroy appointed by the monarch and who served in conjunction with a locally elected parliament. The viceroy would manage the government according to the wants of the local parliament. By 1870, all viceroys almost always deferred to an elected parliament, leaving them as merely ceremonial officers. Viceroyalities could remove their viceroys if they so chose, and by 1870 viceroyal candidates were "recommended" by the local parliament, with the Alannan monarch almost always appointing the recommended candidate. Viceroyalities tended to consist of the largest and most well established colonies.
  • Districts, like viceroys, began as imperial governors without a democratically elected parliament. However, by 1870, districts had begun to allow for locally elected parliaments, although the appointed imperial governor still wielded considerable authority. Districts tended to be newer colonies, but were not considered the frontier of the Alannan colonies.
  • Territories were predominantly areas with considerable Diash and Nuwelander populations. Their governments were appointed by the monarch and could be compared to military occupation zones.

After 1870, the system was overhauled. Viceroyalities and districts were made into "protectorates", which had locally elected legislatures and governors, with considerable autonomy within their own borders. The imperial government was represented by a governor-general, a candidate appointed by the monarch with the approval of both the protectorate government and the Royal Diet. Territories were made into imperial territories was less populated, and had local governors appointed by the monarch. The Alaoyian colonies as a whole were represented in the Royal Diet by several representatives, and each protectorate was allowed to appoint a viceroy to represent it in the imperial court, and eventually in the Cabinet as well. These viceroys remained, even when the various Alaoyian protectorates and territories were united into the Dominion of Alaoyi.

In the Confederate Era, the former protectorates and territories became regions, with regions subdivided into districts. Some regions, such as those primarily populated by Alannan-descended colonists, were wealthy democracies, while other regions, particularly those with high pale populations, suffered as authoritarian regimes under ewezuga. With the end of the ewezuga system, the regional governments were abolished and power was decentralized to local provinces, counties, and districts.

Types

In Alaoyi, a federal entity is a constituent political entity, of which there are 68. Alaoyian federal entities are members of the Federative Republic, also called the Federal Union. Each entity holds governmental jurisdiction over a defined territory in which it shares its sovereignty with the central government or, in the case of autonomous communities, the district. Because of this, Alaoyians are citizens of both the federal state and of the entity in which they reside. Citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required for a citizen to move between two entities unless that person is restricted by a court order (those awaiting trial, paroled convicts, or children with divorced parents who share custody).

Governments of federal entities are allocated power by the people through their individual founding charters. All charters are, by constitutional requirement, grounded in democratic republican systems. However, considerable variation exists between different entities. For instance, the county of Blinnobair has a directorial system, with a council of seven serving as executive, while the district of Nkeugwu Ocolin has a parliamentary system, where the premier is elected by a parliament and serves so long as he has the confidence of the district parliament. Additionally, some entities function as what are comparable to unitary systems, while others have considerable devolution to local authorities.

Historically, the tasks of local law enforcement, public education, public health, intrastate commerce regulation, and local transportation and infrastructure, in addition to the management of elections, have generally been considered primarily local responsibilities, although all of these now have significant federal funding and regulation as well. Over time, the situation has changed. The general tendency has been toward decentralization, with the federal government playing a much smaller role than it once did under the Confederation Era. There is a continuing debate over local rights, which concerns the extent and nature of the powers and sovereignty of federal entities in relation to the federal government and the rights of individuals.

The most common type of federal entity, with 29 total, provinces are considered to be "first-level entities", a term used by Alaoyi's constitution after a dispute for the term over the regional governments ended with a compromise of allowing each region to name itself. Areas which spoke primarily Nuwelander declared themselves to be provinces, after the original regional government of the Nuweland Empire. In area, they range in size from Kalenhaal (TBD), the smallest, to Drenthe (TBD), the largest. In terms of population, they range from Koue Streek (TBD), the least populous, to Aoere (TBD), the most populous.

Like other first-level entities, provinces have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. Most provinces tend to operate on a common law system, although the border-province of Leeugge uses a mixed-system. Provinces are considered partially sovereign, their rights cannot be revoked by the central government. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi.

Local government varies wildly; eleven provinces use presidential systems, eight provinces use parliamentary systems, eight use a consular system, one uses a directorial system, and one uses a democratic oligarchic system.

Counties

The second most common type of federal entity, with 14 total, counties are considered to be "first-level entities", a term used by Alaoyi's constitution after a dispute for the term over the regional governments ended with a compromise of allowing each region to name itself. Areas which spoke primarily Diash declared themselves to be counties, after the original disparate governments of Old Dialand, which were ruled by counts. In area, they range in size from Cluaindon (TBD), the smallest, to O’Brian (TBD), the largest. In terms of population, they range from Féasóubh (TBD), the least populous, to Cnoichaoithe (TBD), the most populous.

Like other first-level entities, counties have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. Ten counties tend to operate on a mixed civil-common law system, with two using civil law and a third using common law. Counties are considered partially sovereign, their rights cannot be revoked by the central government. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi.

Local government varies wildly; five counties use directorial systems, three counties use parliamentary systems, three use consular systems, and three use presidential systems.

Districts

The third most common type of federal entity, with 12 total, districts are considered to be "first-level entities", a term used by Alaoyi's constitution after a dispute for the term over the regional governments ended with a compromise of allowing each region to name itself. Areas which spoke primarily Ndibeanyan or other Alannan languages declared themselves to be districts, after the original subnational divisions of the Alannan Empire, which called its colonies dominions. In area, they range in size from Alaọhụrụ (TBD), the smallest, to Ụlọm (TBD), the largest. In terms of population, they range from Imithi Emide (TBD), the least populous, to Okenkeagba (TBD), the most populous.

Like other first-level entities, districts have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. All 12 districts operate on a civil-law system inherited from the Alannan Empire. Districts are considered partially sovereign, their rights cannot be revoked by the central government. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi.

Local government varies wildly; six districts use presidential systems, five districts use parliamentary systems, and a directorial system is used by one district.

Federal Cities

The fourth most common type of federal entity, with eight total, is the federal city. Despite nominally lying within the borders of other entities, federal cities are cities which the Alaoyian central government has declared to be "of federal importance" and are therefore self-governing.

Like the first-level entities, federal cities are entitled to make their own internal laws, manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi. However, federal cities are not considered sovereign, but are rather considered autonomous under an Alaoyian law. While first-level entities have their rights guaranteed by the constitution, and are therefore sovereign, federal cities are granted their rights by legislation passed by the Parliament, and are therefore are considered to be merely autonomous. However, they are considered full-fledged federal entities and elect full delegations to the National Council and have considerable local powers.

Due to their autonomous nature, federal cities lack charters or constitutions and instead have organic acts, passed by Parliament. All eight federal cities therefore have strong mayor-council governments, though local terms vary.

Associated Republics

Tied for fifth most common type of entity, with two total (the Free State of Inithia and the Marchan Democratic Republic, is the associated republic. Associate republics have considerable concentrations of minority groups and therefore are granted sovereignty. Despite being larger than the Marchan Republic (TBD VS TBD, Inithia is less populous than the Marchan Republic, with TBD people to the Marchan Republic's population of TBD.

Like first-level entities and federal cities, associated republics are entitled to make their own internal laws, manage local governments, and have their own constitutions. Additionally, associated republics can secede from Alaoyi, unilaterally if a 55% majority of their population chooses, or bilaterally if the Alaoyian Parliament and local legislative bodies choose to mutually terminate the agreement, in which case a simple majority in a referendum is needed. This extra sovereignty is because, legally speaking, associated republics are independent states that have ceded matters relating to national defense and foreign policy to Alaoyi while entering into a customs and economic union with Alaoyi.

Inithia uses a civil-common mixed legal system with a federal directorial republican government. In contrast, the Marchan Republic uses a full civil law legal system with a unitary parliamentary republican government.

Autonomous Communities

Tied for fifth most common type of entity, with two total (the Ikhetese Autonomous Community and the Vanhish Autonomous Community, is the autonomous community. The autonomous communities are technically parts of districts, with the Ikhetese Community being a part of Amahọhụrụ and the Vanhish Community being a part of Asaba. Despite being larger than the Ikhetese Community (TBD VS TBD), the Vanhish Community is less populous than the Ikhetese one, with TBD people to TBD people.

Autonomous communities are, like federal cities, not considered sovereign but rather autonomous, being created by Parliament from districts. The status of an autonomous community can be revoked with a two thirds vote in the Parliament. While autonomous communities have veto power over district law, they are much more restricted in their local affairs and are considered subordinate to districts. They are not considered full-fledged entity, but the local parliament of each community has the right to appoint one of the members of the district's delegation to the National Council.

Both the Ikhetese and Vanhish communities use civil-law systems under a presidential system, with the local governor being de jure appointed by the district executive, but de facto elected in what is legally, but not in practice, a non-binding referendum.

National Commonwealths

The least common type of federal entity is the national commonwealth, of which there is only one: the Greater Cetanni Commonwealth. A national commonwealth consists of a nationally recognized minority group and are considered sovereign, with similar powers to a first-level entity. The Greater Cetanni Commonwealth has a population of TBD and is the only current national commonwealth. The Vanhish Community was, at one point, considered a national commonwealth until 2004, when it became an autonomous community.

Like other first-level entities, national commonwealths have their own charters, governments, and legal systems. They are considered full-fledged entities and therefore are entitled to make their own internal laws, declare an official language (though they must allow translation into other languages on request), manage their local governments, but cannot secede from Alaoyi. The main difference between a national commonwealth and other first-level entities is that they, like autonomous communities, may set lingual or ethnic requirements to hold certain offices while first-level entities are explicitly banned from doing so.

The Greater Cetanni Commonwealth uses a common law system and operates under a directorial government. It has heavy devolution, with signifigant power granted to the municipal governments. The "town meeting" tradition of direct democracy is practiced heavily in the Commonwealth.

Government

Entity Governments

Presidential System

Ten provinces, three counties, six districts, both autonomous communities, and all eight federal cities use some form of the presidential system. A presidential system, or single executive system, is a form of government in which a head of government leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch in systems that use separation of powers. In a presidential system, the head of government is directly or indirectly elected by a group of citizens and is not responsible to the legislature, and the legislature cannot dismiss the president except in extraordinary cases.

In most first-level entities (the exceptions being; Ụlọm, Duff, Romsten, Stukkart, and Lanava), the executive is elected by popular vote and presides over the executive branch. The local legislature, usually called a senate or an assembly, serves as the legislative branch. In provinces, these tend to be named president and senaat (senate), in countries these tend to be the uachtarán (presider) and reachtas (legislature), while in districts the terms are ọkà okwu (presider) and mgbakọ (assembly).

In Ụlọm, Romsten, and Stukkart, a onisi (Ụlọm, meaning executive) or provinsiale dagbestuur (Romsten and Stukkart, provincial executive) is elected by the legislature but is not subject to no-confidence votes, and are therefore referred to as "assembly-independent". In Duff and Lanava, the uachtarán (Duff) or president(Lanava) is elected by an electoral college.

Terms vary, with most districts having terms of five to six years and provinces having terms of two to three years. Two of the counties which use a presidential system have a five year term, while Dunhans uses a three year term.

Mayor-Council System

All eight federal cities use a mayor-council system, where a mayor is elected by all voting citizens in the city and a city council is elected in local neighborhoods. The mayor leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative city council. Due to the similarity between a mayor-council system and a presidential system, the mayor-council system is generally considered a subtype of the presidential system.

In Katwijk, Seekant, Rivierkant, and Cathaisce, the council is called the Board of Aldermen while the mayor is called the burgemeester. In Meirleach, the mayor is called a seanduine príomh while the councilors are referred to as seanóirí. In Dimboru and Biyonummri, councilors are known as kanselo with the mayor called a onye-isi-oche. In Magada, the mayor-equivalent is called a egzekitif vil la while the council is called a konsèy.

All federal cities have council terms of three years, with mayoral and council elections being held at the same time. The next cycle of elections will be in 2023 Alaoyian Elections.

Parliamentary System

A parliamentary system, or parliamentarian democracy, is a system where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the support ("confidence") of the legislature, typically a parliament, to which it is accountable. This contrasts to the presidential system, where the legislative and executive branches are separated from one another.

In Alaoyi, the system is used by several entities, including eight provinces, three counties, five districts, and the Marchan Democratic Republic. In provinces the chief of government is called a hoofminister (chief minister), in counties it is a taoiseach (chief), while districts the chief of government is called a mbụ onye ozi (first minister).

Provinces tend to have elected heads-of-province, called goewerneur-generaal (governor-general) while counties lack the position of head-of-county entirely. Districts have a gọvanọ (governor) who is appointed by the president of Alaoyi. The Marchan Republic uses a gouvènè anchèf (head governor) who then appoints the premye minis (prime minister).

Directorial System

A directorial republic is a country ruled by a college of several people who jointly exercise the powers of a head of state and/or a head of government.

In Alaoyi, directorial governments are most commonly used by Cetanni groups, such as the Diash counties or Naossian Greater Cetanni Commonwealth. Only the province of Leeugge and district of Alaọhụrụ use directorial systems. In Diash speaking areas, the size of the council ranges from a minimum of five (Crantreach) to fifteen (Blinnobair). Councilors are called comhairleoir while a cathaoirleach (chairman) presides over meetings of the council. In Leeugge, the councilors are formally called goewerneur (governor) and are presided over by a hoofgoewerneur (chief governor). In Alaọhụrụ, the councilors are called nwoke-iwu (man of law) and the presiding officer is called a onyeisi oche (presiding officer).

In three counties, the council is elected by the people directly. In the other two counties, Alaọhụrụ, Leeugge, and the Greater Cetanni Commonwealth the council is directly elected by the people. Their terms vary from three years (Blinnobair) to up to six years (Cluaindon).

Consular System

Used in eight provinces and three counties, a consular system is one where two rulers exercise power as the executive, each with a veto over the other one. It is similar, but not identical, to a semi-presidential system. Though not a requirement, in Alaoyi one ruler acts as executive while the other presides over the legislature. The consent of both is needed to pass legislation.

In four provinces, the consular system's executives are referred to as a konsul (consul), from where the name originates. In one province, Beenten and Visser, they are called a halwe-liniaal. (half a ruler). In Jenkart, they are both referred to as president. In all three counties, they are ceannaire duel (duel ruler).

Requirements and procedures vary. In Beenten and Visser and Koue Streek each ruler must come from a different region as the other one, with each being elected by a separate house of the provincial parliament. In O'Brian, one ruler must be an Inith and the other must be Diash and both are directly elected by the people. In all other jurisdictions, one ruler is elected by the parliament and the other is elected by the people in popular election.

Terms vary, from two year terms in Koue Streek to a four year term in Jenkart.

Democratic Oligarchy System

Only one entity, the province of Drenthe, uses the democratic oligarchy system. Rather than having a separate legislative-executive body, Drenthe's twenty nine cantons each elect a single cantonal executive. These executives form the Drenthe Provincial Council, which serves both as a collective executive branch and a legislative branch. The Provincial Council serves a six year term, with the chairmanship of the council rotating between members for a single year-long term.

Local Governments

Local governments in Alaoyi are complex as well. In general, the national designation of "precinct" and "municipality" are used to refer broad subdivisions of a federal entity and local governments of singular settlements, respectively. However, while all federal subjects have precincts and munipalities, variation according to terminology and powers is present.

For terminology, while the national designations of precinct and municipality are considered acceptable neutral terms in common parlance, different regions refer them as different terms. In Nuwelander speaking areas, the term pakkie (parcel) is used for precincts and wyk (ward) is used to refer to municipalities. In Diash speaking areas, sír (shire) and bailecheantar (township) are used. In Ndibeanyan areas, the terms idobere (reserve) and mpaghara (locality) are used.

Strong Precinct System

The strong precinct system refers to a system where local government is primarily done at the precinct level. Precincts provide many facilities, such as airports, convention centers, museums, recreation centers, beaches, harbors, zoos, clinics, law libraries, and public housing. They provide services such as child and family services, elder services, mental health services, welfare services, veterans assistance services, animal control, probation supervision, historic preservation, food safety regulation, and environmental health services. They have many additional officials like public defenders, arts commissioners, human rights commissioners, and planning commissioners. There may be a county fire department and a county police department – as distinguished from fire and police departments operated by individual cities. Additionally, school systems are operated by precincts.

In precincts using this system, they most often have an elected legislative body and local governor, although several districts have appointed governors instead.

This system is most used in districts, with all districts using this form of organization, although the county of Dyflinn and the provinces of Jenkart, Koue Streek, and Romsten use this system as well.

Strong Municipal System

The strong municipal system refers to a system where local government is primarily done at the municipal level. In federal entities using this system, precincts function at most as judicial districts, census divisions, and sometimes law enforcement powers in rural areas. However, most governmental authority below the immediate federal entity government is in the hands of local municipalities, which provide the vast majority of local government duties. If a government service is too large or complex to be done by a single municipality, the federal entity government will step in. While precincts may still exist, their authority is limited compared with a precinct government in a district—they have authority only over infrastructure and land use planning, distribution of first-level entity and federal funds for infrastructure projects, emergency preparedness, and limited law enforcement duties.

In areas using this system, precinct governments tend to be elected democratic oligarchic systems, with the local council being the sole legislative and executive body present.

This system is most used in the majority of provinces, although the Greater Cetanni Commonwealth uses this system as well. Additionally, provinces bordering the borders with former Dialand tend to use the combined system.

Mayor-Council

A mayor-council system is a system where a mayor is elected by all voting citizens in the city and a city council is elected in local neighborhoods. The mayor leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative city council and functions as an independent executive, separate from the legislature.

This system is typically used in large cities in provinces and counties.

Manager-Council

In a manager-council system, an elected governing body, usually called a city council, board of aldermen, or similar title, is responsible for legislative functions such as establishing policy, passing local ordinances, voting appropriations, and developing an overall vision, similar to a corporate board of directors. The council appoints a city manager to oversee the administrative operations, implement its policies, and advise it. The manager position is similar to that of a corporate chief executive officer appointed by a board of directors. The position of "mayor" present in this type of legislative body is a largely ceremonial title.

This system is most commonly used in midsized cities in provinces and counties.

Strong Council

The strong council system refers to a system where a local directorial council governs the municipality. These councils constitute the legislative body of the city and, as a group, are responsible for taxation, appropriations, ordinances, and other general functions. Individual councilors are also assigned executive responsibility for a specific aspect of municipal affairs, such as public works, finance, or public safety. This form of government thus blends legislative and executive branch functions in the same body.

This is most commonly used in smaller towns and villages in provinces, where municipalities have considerable power.

Administrative Mayor

The administrative mayor system typically means an elected local official, equivalent to a mayor, serves as the administrator of the decrees of upper tiers of government and in ceremonial purposes. This system is exclusively used in districts, where the municipal government is very weak and lacks power, effectively leaving them as ceremonial or geographic divisions for administrative purposes.

Combined System

In contrast to the strong municipal or strong precinct system, the combined system has municipalities provide services within their own borders while precincts handle rural areas without municipal governments present. Precincts will typically provide, at a minimum, courts, public utilities, libraries, hospitals, public health services, parks, roads, law enforcement, and jails. There is usually a registrar, recorder, or clerk (the exact title varies) who collects vital statistics, holds elections (sometimes in coordination with a separate elections office or commission), and prepares or processes certificates of births, deaths, marriages, and dissolutions (divorce decrees). The registrar normally maintains the official record of all real estate transactions. Other key officials include the coroner/medical examiner, treasurer, assessor, auditor, comptroller, and district attorney.In many entites, precincts control all unincorporated lands within their boundaries. Residents of unincorporated land who are dissatisfied with county-level or township-level resource allocation decisions can attempt to vote to incorporate as a city, town, or village and thus grant municipal status.

Entites using this system tend to have strong elected councils, similar to the government in a strong precinct system, in rural areas while the consolidated municipal-precinct governments tend to be elected along similar lines to a normal municipality.

This system is mostly used in counties and Cetanni areas, although some provinces use this system as well.
