Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892

The Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892 was an act of the Urcean Concilium Daoni during the Crown Regency of Gréagóir FitzRex. The Act eliminated the last vestiges of feudal political organization by sweeping away a large number of crownlands, provinces, free cities, counties, and duchies, and subsequently began a nation-wide survey of land in order to redraw provincial boundaries, a process which was mostly completed in 1895. The Act exempted three crownlands - the Archduchy of Urceopolis and the Grand Duchy of Harren - since it was unclear from the Constitution of Urcea and Golden Bull of 1098 if these two integral parts of the Kingdom could be legally abolished. The Electorate of Canaery remained in place as an expression of Caenish self government. All three remaining Crownlands lost significant portions of territory. It also brought about the final expansion of Urceopolis, which added the final portions of the City as part of the Act. It also organized the two explicitly non-Urcean ethnic portions of the country, Ænglasmarch and Gassavelia, into semi-autonomous states, though FitzRex's military rule limited the amount of autonomy these two states held. The Act also provided for the election of Governors and the establishment of provincial legislatures, and additionally established provincial courts and the modern boundaries of the conrudimental court system.

The Act was one of the few laws of the Crown Regency that remained in place following the Red Interregnum and restoration. While the Act itself was technically abjured, its contents and the findings of the surveyors were re-codified as part of the Constitutional Settlement Act of 1902. Those portions form the basis of the modern provincial system of Urcea.
