Union States
There are 24 Union States in the Kingdom of Rajyaghar:

There are 2 Federal Territories in the Kingdom of Rajyaghar:
Regional Governance
National Regions are collections of Union States and Federal Territories. Governance of the regions is performed by a Governor who is supported by the Ayog (Commission). The Ayog consists of advisors who are appointed at the discretion of the Governor but typically include military, economic, infrastructure and legal advisors. The Governor is tasked with overseeing the governments of Union States and Federal Territories and acting as a liaison between them and the Central Union Government. Governors are predominantly have a ceremonial and advisory role, with their main powers, reserve powers only exercised in times of crises.
In times of crisis, the Monarch may, at the request of the Premier, invoke Article X of the Constitution which grants the Governors extensive power to suspend Union State and Federal District governments and directly administer rule over their region. Article X has only ever been invoked for the Outer Rim region. Due to this emergency function, Governors are typically experienced former administrators such as former First Ministers, Ministers of the Crown, Military Commanders or Royals.
Governors are appointed for 7 year terms, twice renewable, by the Monarch on the advice of the Premier and the Rajkumar Parishad (Council of Princes) for that region. Governors can only be removed by the Monarch but the Prince(ss)es of the Union States may petition the Monarch for a Governor's early dismissal. Governors are required to be non-partisan.
State Governance
Governance of the Union States is divided between the federal and state governments. Each Union State has a legislature which, depending on the state, will either be unicameral or bicameral. In the majority of cases, the larger states have bicameral legislatures with the upper house having provincial representatives and the lower house having communal representatives. Following the Northabbey model, the State Governments are led by First Ministers, who are members of the state legislature from the majority party. State elections are held every 5 years which, since 1995, have been at the same time as federal elections.
Governance related to lower-level administration is further devolved from state governments to local authorities; the Provincial and Communal Councils. Whilst state governments hold jurisdiction over local authorities, the federal government can request the Monarch to invoke Article X of the Constitution, granting the Governor the right to intervene and potentially suspend the State Government.
The federal constitution outlines the following duties to be exercised by the state governments:
- Management of transportation and local infrastructure
- Provision of emergency services (excluding the police since 1965)
- Local planning and zoning
- Education outside of the national curriculum
- Any other duty not prescribed by law to be under the jurisdiction of the federal government
Since independence, the federal government has slowly reduced the powers granted to the state governments through legislating over previously un-prescribed duties, which combined with lack of development and federal intervention in state affairs, has led to increasing popularity of secession movements in the states of Tarkhana, Sasipur and Pinjar. During the Emergency, the 12th Amendment was transferred jurisdiction of the police from state governments to the federal government.
