===Province===
===Province===
The government of each standard province 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. Provinces receive their power and authority from the [[Constitution_of_Caphiria|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.

===Autonomous Province===
===Administrative Province===
Autonomous Provinces (AR) are highly autonomous and self-governing divisions that are directly under the control of the Imperium. Each Autonomous Province has a chief executive as head of the province and head of government. The provincial government is not fully independent, as foreign policy and military defense are the responsibility of the central government, according to the basic laws. Autonomous Provinces typically have a higher population of a particular minority ethnic group or are culturally dissimilar enough that they are afforded the ability of self-governance.
===Special Administrative Province===
Special Administrative Provinces (SAR) are governed under the direct administration of the central government. Nominally, they fall under the jurisdiction of the Imperator but locally elected officials manage the operations and functions. The only SAR in the Imperium is the Special Administrative Province of [[Sator|Sator]], which is led by the ''Praetor Proprius'', (Special Praetor).
