Provinces are often considered on par with diocese, and are governed by a provincial assembly responsible for local affairs, along with an Imperial-appointed propraetor responsible for the administration of central government affairs at the local level. Provincial powers include: arts, civil defense, planning, trading standards, parks, tourism, archives, industrial assistance, highways with the smaller county assemblies controlling public transportation and police or fire safety. However, police can be and is often delegated to large cities within a given province. | Provinces are often considered on par with diocese, and are governed by a provincial assembly responsible for local affairs, along with an Imperial-appointed propraetor responsible for the administration of central government affairs at the local level.

The administrative divisions of the Latium are concerned with the institutional and territorial organization of Latin territory. There are many administrative divisions, which may have political (local government), electoral (districts), or administrative (decentralized services of the state) objectives.
History
Prefectures
Prefectures are the highest tier of sub-national division in Latium. Modern prefectures are primarily used for statistical and military purposes. Despite the lack of administrative capacity, a prefect is appointed to each prefecture.
Dioceses
Dioceses is the second-level sub-national division in Latium. This division is among the most varied in administrative capacity, though in most instances, a diocese serves a minor administrative function. Among these functions are: the distribution of funds through the Sanitas Ministerium National and various economic development agencies.
Since the 1970s, select diocese have been granted devolved administrative functions, including Alba and Imbros. The Diocese of Alba became the first to attain an expanded role with the enactment of the 1974 Alban Local Government Act, which saw the expansion of the powers of the Alban Assembly and the creation of an elected mayor. A second devolution occurred for the Diocese of Imbros in 2018. All devolved governments share the same powers, most notably discretionary power over infrastructural spending, e.g., education, public transit, universities (in some instances) and research, and assistance to business owners. However, the assemblies lack separate legislative authority and cannot write their own statutory law, or legislate policies which are reserved by the central Imperial government such as domestic policy, fiscal policy, foreign policy, national service, etc. However, they may levy their own taxes and, in return, receive a decreasing part of their budget from the central government, which gives them a portion of the taxes it levies. Each regional government is led by an appointed Vicarius, who represents the Monarch. A Vicarius presides over the regional government, may exercise veto on legislative proposals upon consultation with the Monarch, and may advise the Monarch to exercise his right to dissolve the assembly. In the case of Alba, the Mayor presides over the assembly and is a primary figure in the legislative process and executive governing apparatus.
