Provinces and territories of Mardisia

The provinces and territories of Mardisia are sub-national administrative divisions of Mardisia under the jurisdiction of the Mardisian Constitution.

The Mardisian provinces receive their power and authority from the Constitution Act of 1867, whereas territorial governments are legal entities with powers delegated to them by the Parliament of Mardisia. The powers flowing from the Constitution Act are divided between the federal Government of Mardisia and the provincial governments to exercise exclusively. A change to the division of powers between the federal government and the provinces requires a constitutional amendment, whereas a similar change affecting the territories can be performed unilaterally by the Parliament or government.

In modern Mardisian constitutional theory, the provinces are considered to be co-sovereign within certain areas based on the divisions of responsibility between the provincial and federal government within the Constitution Act of 1871, and each province thus has its own representative of the Mardisian Crown, the lieutenant governor. The territories are not sovereign, but instead their authorities and responsibilities are devolved directly from the federal level, and as a result, have a commissioner that represents the federal government.
