The provinces and territories of Scalizagasti are sub-national divisions within the geographical areas of Scalizagasti under the jurisdiction of the Constitution of Scalizagasti. The seventeen provinces of Scalizagasti have remained constant since its unification in 1767. However, the two territories of Scalizagasti—the Capital Bay Territory and Milynia—were introduced after this date.
As part of a federal system, the provinces are largely autonomous with respect to their internal organization. Provinces derive their power from the Constitution of Scalizagasti, and control aspects like healthcare and education. Likewise, the federal government is in charge of other aspects of government such as foreign affairs and banking. Territories, meanwhile, derive their power from the federal legislature and their status can be changed by Parliament. Changing the jurisdiction of the federal and provincial governments requires an amendment to the Constitution, which has occured in the past.
