Administrative divisions of Venadia, or Political divisions of Venadia, are the various administrative entities that altogether constitute the Republic of Venadia. Venadia is a unitary state, and the internal autonomy of most administrative divisions are limited to those explicitly granted to them by the Great Veche. These divisions, with the exception of Great Cities, are then further subdivided into administrative entities of their own. The name of these local entities vary from division to division.

Three primary administrative divisions exist directly below that of the central Venadian state, those being Great City, Volost and Tysyacha. All these divisions are responsible for managing their own police forces, education up to but not including the tertiary level, environmental protection, some welfare benefits, infrastructure barring the railways and highways, courts of law and healthcare. They are provided a mixture of earmarked funds and discretionary funds from the National Budget with which to provide adequate services for their population. Individual divisions may also implement a limited series of taxes for which to fund public services, limited to property taxes (up to 0.5%) and sales taxes (up to 10%).

For the purposes of national elections, no constituency may overlap two separate divisions. Party list votes are accumulated based on larger regions rather than individual divisions, of which Venadia has 8 regions. Regions are also used for certain census-collecting activities, and in the case of the Northern and Eastern Regions, some public services.

Types of Administrative Division

Great City

Venadia has a total of two Great Cities, the cities of Venagorod and Khandagrad. The Great Cities include both the cities proper, as well as the metropolitan areas of the respective cities. Great Cities have no further formal subdivision. Great Cities are led by a Grand City Veche and a Prince appointed by the Veche who acts as the cities' executive bodies.

Tysyacha

Venadia has a total of 13 Tysyacha, primarily located in the north-west and central areas of the country. The Tysyacha are the Venadian heartland, but in the modern day have nearly identical administrative processes as the Volosts. Tysyacha are led by a Regional Veche and its Prince, as well as a Governor appointed by the state. The Governor of a Tysyacha have very limited authority, but may veto decisions by the Regional Veche. Tysyacha are all divided into Mirs and Gorods, being the rural and urban administrative subdivisions.

Volost

Venadia has a total of 16 volosts, located primarily in the south and east of the country. The Volosts tend to be more religiously and ethnically diverse than Tysyacha, although the south-western Volosts are also Venadian-majority divisions. Like Tysyacha, Volosts are governed by a Regional Veche but lacks a locally appointed Prince. The Governor appointed by the central state acts as the head of the executive body, and possess a veto on any decision undertaken by the Regional Veche. However, Volosts also have a greater amount of local autonomy than Tysyacha and Great Cities, and may implement limited regional laws with the approval of the central government and the Governor and may levy increased regional and local taxes. The names and responsibilities of the local subdivisions in the Volosts varies.
