Anglei is divided into five states which were originally the five constituent integral duchies of the United Angle States upon its creation. These states were ruled by their original hereditary dukes prior to [[1914]], but since have been led by elected executive officers known as Governors, fashioned after [[Government of Urcea|the Urcean style of governance]]. Governors serve three year terms. All five states are governed by unicameral State Witans. These are elected by proportional list voting, and serve the same term as Governor. | Anglei is divided into five states which were originally the five constituent integral duchies of the United Angle States upon its creation.

Governors serve three year terms. All five states are governed by unicameral State Witans. These are elected by proportional list voting, and serve the same term as Governor. The five states are all further divided into administrative elements known as {{wp|Hundred (county division)|hundreds}}. All administrative officials of the hundreds - usually Supervisor, Comptroller, and Sheriff - are appointed from among the hundred's residents by the State Witan. The hundreds are comprised of multiple municipal townships known as {{wp|Riding (division)|ridings}}. There are no distinctions in Anglei's system between major cities, rural towns, or suburban settlements, all are known and governed as ridings. The ridings themselves usually have an elective mayor and riding council, but the hundred's supervisor in which the riding exists also has appointments to each riding council. | ||

Multiple attempts to "de-Urceanize" the Ænglish language have been attempted, including [[Blairian Ænglish]] which was a popular, though primarily academic, concept around the time of the [[Concordat of Donnebourg]]. It has virtually no presence in Anglei today, though small "Blairian Societies" exist throughout the country. | Multiple attempts to "de-Urceanize" the Ænglish language have been attempted, including [[Blairian Ænglish]] which was a popular, though primarily academic, concept around the time of the [[Concordat of Donnebourg]].

Anglei is among the most religiously secular countries in [[Levantia]], with 38.7% of the population reporting themselves as agnostic or atheist. Many scholars have argued that the cause of the large amount of unbelief is due to repressive efforts against the Protestant Ænglish Church in the 17th century. | {{Pie chart | ||

A small majority of citizens of Anglei are members of the [[Catholic Church]], with just 50.2% of the population reporting to be Catholic as of 2030. | |||
The [[College of Levantine Churches]] is present in Anglei, with about 10% of the population being reported to be members. Anglei has a long and historic association with Protestantism, with the Ænglish Church forming the origin point of a major strain of modern Protestantism. When religious laws in the 19th century were gradually weakened, Protestantism reemerged as an important, albeit small, religious tradition in the country. Anglei has the largest Protestant population by percentage among [[Levantine Union]] members when only counting the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc metropole]] and not its overseas territories. | |||

Many scholars have argued that the cause of the large amount of unbelief is due to repressive efforts against the Protestant Ænglish Church in the 17th century, leading to gradual disaffiliation on the part of the descendants of those forced to revert to Catholicism. | |||
