The '''jarldoms and territories''' are the second level of government in [[Tevitheim]]. The jarldoms are administrative divisions that are self-governing polities that are sovereign to the extent where their sovereignty is not limited by federal law, having ceded some sovereign rights to the federal government. Due to this shared sovereignty, Tevitheimers are citizens both of the federal republic and of the jarldom in which they reside. Jarldom citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between jarldoms, except for persons restricted by certain types of court orders (such as paroled convicts and children of divorced spouses who share child custody), but a person must register their new citizenship. Territories can be autonomous and administer local policies and programs much like the states in practice, but are legally subordinate to the federal government, lacking votes for [[Oberjarl of Tevitheim|Oberjarl]] and in the [[Jarlaråd of the United Jarldoms|Jarlaråd]], though the population is represented in the [[Alnating of the United Jarldoms|Alnating]]. | |||
Tevitheim has seventeen constituent jarldoms and four territories. Every jarldom and territory is self-governing with its own independent executive government, legislative branch, and judicial system, though unorganized territories, which only have local government status overseen by federal departments, have existed in the past, the most recent example being the combination of the various unorganized territories into the current [[Skorghijl Islands Territory]]. | |||
Australia has six federated states: New South Wales (including Lord Howe Island), Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania (including Macquarie Island), Victoria, and Western Australia. Australia also has ten federal territories,[3] out of which three are internal territories: the Australian Capital Territory, the Jervis Bay Territory, and the Northern Territory[3] on the Australian mainland; and seven are external territories: the Ashmore and Cartier Islands, the Australian Antarctic Territory,[a] Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, the Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and Norfolk Island[3] that are offshore dependent territories. Every state and internal territory (except the Jervis Bay Territory) is self-governing with its own independent executive government, legislative branch, and judicial system, while the rest only have local government status overseen by federal departments. | |||
State and territory governments may legislate on matters concerning their citizens, subject to the limits of the federal constitution (notably section 51 and section 109). Each state and internal territory (except Jervis Bay Territory) has its own legislature, although the Federal Parliament can override territorial legislation. The federal High Court of Australia acts as a final court of appeal for all matters, and has the authority to override any state judiciary. While all states and internal territories have their own judicial system (subject to appeal to the High Court), most external territories are subject to the judiciary and legislature of either a state or internal territory. Excluding the Heard Island and McDonald Islands and the Australian Antarctic Territory (which are governed by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water), the external territories are governed by the federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts.[4]Norfolk Island had its own legislature from 1979 to 2015.[5] | |||
Each state is a successor to historical British colonies, and each has its own constitution. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Northern Territory for the most part operate indistinguishably from the states, even though they do not have constitutional status as states and territorial legislation can be overridden. |

The jarldoms and territories are the second level of government in Tevitheim. The jarldoms are administrative divisions that are self-governing polities that are sovereign to the extent where their sovereignty is not limited by federal law, having ceded some sovereign rights to the federal government. Due to this shared sovereignty, Tevitheimers are citizens both of the federal republic and of the jarldom in which they reside. Jarldom citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between jarldoms, except for persons restricted by certain types of court orders (such as paroled convicts and children of divorced spouses who share child custody), but a person must register their new citizenship. Territories can be autonomous and administer local policies and programs much like the states in practice, but are legally subordinate to the federal government, lacking votes for Oberjarl and in the Jarlaråd, though the population is represented in the Alnating.
Tevitheim has seventeen constituent jarldoms and four territories. Every jarldom and territory is self-governing with its own independent executive government, legislative branch, and judicial system, though unorganized territories, which only have local government status overseen by federal departments, have existed in the past, the most recent example being the combination of the various unorganized territories into the current Skorghijl Islands Territory.
Australia has six federated states: New South Wales (including Lord Howe Island), Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania (including Macquarie Island), Victoria, and Western Australia. Australia also has ten federal territories,[3] out of which three are internal territories: the Australian Capital Territory, the Jervis Bay Territory, and the Northern Territory[3] on the Australian mainland; and seven are external territories: the Ashmore and Cartier Islands, the Australian Antarctic Territory,[a] Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, the Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and Norfolk Island[3] that are offshore dependent territories. Every state and internal territory (except the Jervis Bay Territory) is self-governing with its own independent executive government, legislative branch, and judicial system, while the rest only have local government status overseen by federal departments.
State and territory governments may legislate on matters concerning their citizens, subject to the limits of the federal constitution (notably section 51 and section 109). Each state and internal territory (except Jervis Bay Territory) has its own legislature, although the Federal Parliament can override territorial legislation. The federal High Court of Australia acts as a final court of appeal for all matters, and has the authority to override any state judiciary. While all states and internal territories have their own judicial system (subject to appeal to the High Court), most external territories are subject to the judiciary and legislature of either a state or internal territory. Excluding the Heard Island and McDonald Islands and the Australian Antarctic Territory (which are governed by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water), the external territories are governed by the federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts.[4]Norfolk Island had its own legislature from 1979 to 2015.[5]
Each state is a successor to historical British colonies, and each has its own constitution. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Northern Territory for the most part operate indistinguishably from the states, even though they do not have constitutional status as states and territorial legislation can be overridden.
