Qoyalets | [[File:Istrenya qoyalets.png|thumb|Map of Istrenya's 21 Qoyalets]] | ||
Istrenya, like most Qabóri-influenced nations, calls its administration subdivisions ''qoyalets'', which is the [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]] word for "province." There are 21 of these qoyalets in Istrenya. Istrenya is a unitary state, though there is a substantial amount of autonomy for the qoyalets. Historically, the qoyalets have rarely changed since Qabóri subjugation, owing to various subgroups of the four major tribes of the country. The qoyalets are governed by a three-branch system, similar to the central Istrenyan government. The qoyalets have an elected qoyalet legislature, which are directly-elected via popular vote within the respective qoyalet, along with a non-partisan premier, appointed directly by the President of Istrenya. The qoyalet legislature supervises elected officials, debates and votes on budgets, plan regional development, execute public investment projects, promote economic activities, and manage public property. | |||

It is also known as one the world's largest producer of cotton – as much as 16% or more of the nation's economy is derived from the cultivation and sale of cotton. It is also one of the world's top producers of cannabis, historically exporting a large majority of it to Tierrador | Istrenya's five largest economic sectors are agriculture, raw mineral extraction, fishing, petroleum, and livestock.
