CategoryUnitary unit
Location Auzance
Created1934
Number15 provinces

Auzance is divided into fifteen provinces, all of which are governed by workers' councils. These have a form of internal sortition-selective democracy, and retain significant devolved powers under the Constitution. The largest province is Cestiène, both the country's capital and largest city, while three other settlements enjoy the same status.

History

Auzance historically was comprised of eleven provinces roughly congruent to modern provincial borders following the dissolution of the Autuzian Marches in the 17th century, during which Gaullica centralised full control of the region.

In 1933, Auzance's national legislature enacted the Province Law, creating fourteen provinces. The 1957 Province Law brought Lugnî, Erîa's county town, into its own separate province. Workers' councils governed de facto regionally, though the central government in the 1930s-40s centralised control, causing thirty years of struggling between provinces and the national government for power. Valduvia's coup d'état in 1948 is closely linked with this struggle, as perceptions of state socialism resulted in the downfall of the Warnot government, and return of powers to provinces.

In 1971, all fifteen provinces were afforded a level of powers by the Constitution.
