'''Provinces''', officially known as '''provincial level divisions''' (''Banlieueregio''), are the highest level [[Administrative_divisions_of_Caphiria|administrative divisions]] of [[Caphiria]]. There are two types of provinces - standard provinces, which refers to the mainland territory, and possessions, which refers to any major territory outside of that. Currently, Caphiria has 27 provinces and 6 possessions.
In [[Caphiria]], '''Provinces''' (''Banlieueregio'') are the highest level [[Administrative_divisions_of_Caphiria|administrative divisions]] of the state. Provinces receive their power and authority from the [[Constitution of Caphiria]], which delineates the admission of provinces, the concept of 'parallel autonomy', and the governance of provinces. Parallel autonomy refers to the unique relationship in which provinces - and by extension the provincial government - are administered directly by the [[Imperator]], who passes autonomy to them through his ''imperium maius''. This means that provinces have their own sovereignty that is separate from the Imperium yet they are directly controlled by it.


The government of each standard province (''provinciarum'') is led by its ''praetor'', who is elected from the citizens of the respective province. Standard provinces hold legal and administrative jurisdiction within its bounds and share "[[parallel autonomy]]" with the central government.
Each provincial government is free to organize its executive departments and agencies in any way it likes. This has resulted in substantial diversity among provinces with regard to every aspect of how their governments are organized, though the Imperium does mandate certain things for the sake of continuity. In theory, the praetor is subservient to the Imperator, effectively acting as his representative. In practice, however, praetors have ''de facto'' authority over their province and the Imperator seldom interferes at the provincial level. Praetors are part of a sub-committee within the [[Tribunal Assembly (Caphiria)|Tribunal Assembly]], an assembly of the [[Corcillum]] responsible for the public administration of Caphiria.


Only by majority vote from [[Senate (Caphiria)|the Senate]] can provinces be formed or dissolved; not even the Imperator has the (legal) unilateral authority to admit a province into the Imperium.

==Types of provinces==
===Standard provinces===
Standard provinces, simply called provinces, are headed by an elected official called a ''praetor'' who serves as its chief executive. The government of the province is called the ''provinciarum'', holding legal and administrative jurisdiction within its bounds.  


Provinces receive their power and authority from the [[Constitution of Caphiria]], which delineates the admission of provinces, the concept of 'parallel autonomy', and the governance of provinces.

This means that provinces have their own sovereignty that is separate from the Imperium yet they are directly controlled by it
Caphiria has 25 mainland provinces and one special administrative province for [[Venceia]].


Each provincial government is free to organize its executive departments and agencies in any way it likes. This has resulted in substantial diversity among provinces with regard to every aspect of how their governments are organized, though the Imperium does mandate certain things for the sake of continuity. In theory, the praetor is subservient to the Imperator, effectively acting as his representative. In practice, however, praetors have ''de facto'' authority over their province and the Imperator seldom interferes at the provincial level. Praetors are part of a sub-committee within the [[Tribunal Assembly (Caphiria)|Tribunal Assembly]], an assembly of the [[Corcillum]] responsible for the public administration of Caphiria.
===Possessions ===
[[Possessions and territories of Caphiria|Possessions]] are the major overseas territories under the control of the Imperium. Caphiria does not classify its Possessions as subdivisions of the Imperium itself; rather, each is treated in law as a separate jurisdiction. Most have their own legislatures and a degree of autonomy usually exceeding that of the autonomous provinces, including fiscal independence.
There are 3 types of possessions - overseas provinces, standard possessions, protectorates.
Still, The Imperium retains varying degrees of responsibility in all of the territories, currently ranging from full political control to a largely ceremonial presence. The main reserved matters are the areas of diplomacy, international treaties, defense and security. Possessions of the Imperium still follow the same organization of administrative divisions, though the naming scheme may differ based on cultural and historical contexts.
==Government and politics==
==Government and politics==
The central Imperial government delegates many functions (such as education and the police force) to provinces and prefectures, but retains the overall right to control them. The ''provinciarum'' - the provincial government, is free to organize its executive departments and agencies in any way it likes. This has resulted in substantial diversity among provinces with regard to every aspect of how their governments are organized, though the Imperium does mandate certain things for the sake of continuity across the state.

Because Caphiria is a unitary state, provinces lack separate legislative authority and therefore cannot write their own statutory law. They 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. They also have considerable budgets managed by a regional council made up of representatives voted into office in provincial elections.

Provincial governments also have the duty of drawing funding to operate its programs. Provinces collect insurance trust revenue from administering retirement, unemployment compensation, and other benefit programs. Provinces also collect fees, such as tolls, and lottery ticket sales, hospital charges and liquor sales. Provinces levy sales taxes for consumer goods, at 3 to 5 percent, as well as income taxes.

Provinces can perform additional functions, based on varying local laws in each region. In addition, provinces have considerable discretionary power over infrastructure spending, e.g., education, public transit, universities and research, and assistance to business owners. This has meant that the heads of wealthy provinces such as [[Ovetta]] and [[Caseni]] can be high-profile positions.
