==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.

A diocese is the second-level sub-national division in Latium.

Among these functions are: the distribution of funds through the [[National Health Service (Latium)|Sanitas Ministerium National]] and various economic development agencies.

Only three dioceses maintain consultative assemblies: the [[Castellum|Diocese of Alba]] and the [[Sasora|Diocese of Sasora]], and the [[Diocese of the East]]. While these dioceses feature an assembly, the presence of the assembly is due to a dual constitutional status of the diocese and another administrative division.

===Provinces===
A diocese consists of numerous provinces, and are governed by a provincial governor 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, planning, parks, tourism, archives, industrial assistance, and police or fire safety. However, police can be and is often delegated to large cities within a given province. All provinces feature a provincial assembly composed of elected and appointed residents.
===Caesarian provinces===


Since the 1970s, select diocese have been granted devolved administrative functions, including [[Castellum ab Alba|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.

Dioceses

Dioceses are the first level sub-national division in Latium. This division is among the most varied in administrative capacity, and primarily holds limited discretionary power over infrastructure spending, education, public transit, and X, with substantial discretionary power is invested in the provincial governors within the diocese itself. Dioceses lack legislative authority and individual tax authority; however, they maintain central tax offices to assist in collection of taxes for the imperial treasury. The dioceses also play a key role in role in the distribution of funding for the Imperial Health Service and other developmental state bureaus. The chief executive of a diocese is a vicar, who is appointed by the emperor to serve at his pleasure. Vicars monitor provincial and local governments, and may veto ordinances or legislation that arises from a provincial or city council.

As of 2021, there are 14 dioceses and 1 overseas diocese. Only three dioceses maintain consultative assemblies: the Diocese of Alba and the Diocese of Sasora, and the Diocese of the East. While these dioceses feature an assembly, the presence of the assembly is due to a dual constitutional status of the diocese and another administrative division. Alba maintains a special constitutional status as diocese-province while Sasora and the East feature an assembly due to the dual status as a caesarian province. In the case of Alba, the Urban Prefect of Castellum is ex offico the Vicar of Alba.

Provinces

A diocese consists of numerous provinces, and are governed by a provincial governor 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, planning, parks, tourism, archives, industrial assistance, and police or fire safety. However, police can be and is often delegated to large cities within a given province. All provinces feature a provincial assembly composed of elected and appointed residents.
