The Vosha Protectorate (Dutch: Protectoraat Vosha; Vozh: Pratektarat Vozha) was a Lieseltanian protectorate from 1721 until the unification of Atmora in 1812, saw the administration of Vosha go from Lieseltania to the newly formed federal government of Atmora falling under the authority of the Department of Dominion and Colonial Affairs in 1813. Vaatseland would remain an Atmoran protectorate until the start of the Vozksk Uprising in 1911 until 1913 when Alexandria recognised Vozhsk indepedence from Atmora.

Law and administration
Since the Lieseltanian Conquest in the First Voshan War in 1721. The highest Lieseltanian authority resided with the 'Council of State of Vosha'. The Governor-General served as the viceregal representative to the monarch of Lieseltania and Chairman of the Council of State of Vosha. Additionally the Governor-General served as commander-in-chief of the Voshan Militia and Voshan Colonial Marechaussee. Until 1903 all government officials and organisations were formal agents of the Governor-General and were entirely dependent on the central administration of the Council of State for their budgets. The Governor-General had the absolute right to ban, censor or restrict any publication in the protectorate. The so-called Exorbitant powers of the Governor-General allowed him to exile anyone regarded as subversive and dangerous to peace and order, without involving any Court of Law.
In 1897 under Governor-General Lord Mollenhorst devolved some of his legislative authority to the Volksraad. The Volksraad was an advisory council to the Governor-General. The Council comprised 50 elected Atmoran members, 20 elected Voshan members, and 15 appointed members. While the Volksraad could debate and vote upon some issues, most executive power was still held in the hands of Governor-General and the Colonial Minister in Alexandria.
