Administrative divisions of Seketan
The administrative divisions of Seketan are the various units of government that are responsible for regional and local governance. A unitary state, Seketan is divided into provinces and municipalities, with further city and town boundaries forming local governments. Official regions are defined by the government for historical and statistical purposes.
Seketan is broadly decentralized and divisions in Seketan are unequal in their authority and responsibilities. The provinces of Fjeska and Wilskland are specified in the constitution, both carrying various degrees of autonomy. Various municipalities in Seketan have special status as city municipalities. Subdivisions from all levels have adopted official languages apart from Seketese including Wilsk, Fjeskan, Trjebian, Svealandic, as well as various Seketese dialects with separate written standards.
Provinces
Seketan is made up of 7 primary divisions, collectivly known as "the provinces". 5 (Bynan, Ellinesa, Giorgi-Alesk, Gjenor, and Nelderjen) are provinces, 1 (Wilskland) is an Independent State, and 1 (Fjeska) is an Autonomous Province. According the Consitution of Seketan all provinces are equal, with each having the same devolved powers, however in practice Wilskland is often afforded certain powers due to their unique history with Seketan. Fjeska is also afforded special powers outside the consitution, authorized in the Fjeskan conflict, specifically over language and education.
All provinces operate under some form of a semi-parliamentary system. The 5 provinces and Wilskland hold elections every 4 years to elect provincial assemblies. The largest party or coalition of parties forms government and nominate someone to be the Chief of Government (or First Minister in Wilskland). Unlike most parliamentary systems, responsible government is not excersized, meaning that early elections cannot be called, ergo if a majority coaliton cannot be created, the largest party will form a minority government by default. For crucial measures like budgets, the most recently passed version is used continuously until a new one is passed.
Under the Loria Accords, Fjeska is officially an Autonomous Province with a Consociational devolved legislature. Each election takes place seperatly in the Seketese and Fjeskan zone, with the governing coalition needing a majority of seats in each zone to form government. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached, the National government will appoint a non-partisan government until one can be reached.
