Administrative divisions of Caphiria: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

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.

[[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. Historically and legally, possessions are treated as the personal property of the reigning Imperator.

There are 3 types of possessions - overseas provinces, standard possessions, protectorates:

*An ~~overseas province~~ has exactly the same status as provinces on mainland Caphiria, with Caphirian laws and regulations (the Imperium's civil code, penal code, administrative law, social laws, tax laws, etc.) being applicable, but can be adapted as needed to suit particular needs. As integral parts of Caphiria, possessions are represented in the [[Corcillum of Caphiria|Assemblies of Caphiria]] as well as various councils in the national government, use the [[Aureus]], and are afforded all of the same liberties as mainland provinces ~~As a result~~, the local administrations of possessions cannot themselves pass new laws~~. Possessions treated as the personal property of the reigning [[Imperator]]~~;

*An ''Overseas Province'' has exactly the same status as provinces on mainland Caphiria, with Caphirian laws and regulations (the Imperium's civil code, penal code, administrative law, social laws, tax laws, etc.) being applicable, but can be adapted as needed to suit particular needs. As integral parts of Caphiria, possessions are represented in the [[Corcillum of Caphiria|Assemblies of Caphiria]] as well as various councils in the national government, use the [[Aureus]], and are afforded all of the same liberties as mainland provinces. Consequently, the local administrations of possessions cannot themselves pass new laws;

*An Overseas Possession is a colony or territory with a semi-autonomous status allowing it to internally self-govern, with the Imperium retaining responsibility for defense and foreign relations. Possessions still follow the same organization of provinces, though the naming scheme may differ based on cultural and historical contexts;

*An ''Overseas Possession'' is a colony or territory with a semi-autonomous status allowing it to internally self-govern, with the Imperium retaining responsibility for defense and foreign relations. Possessions still follow the same organization of provinces, though the naming scheme may differ based on cultural and historical contexts;

*A Protectorate is a ~~country~~ or sovereign state under The Imperium's suzerainty. The state possesses its own political and administrative statute and government, and local rulers retain near-absolute control over the states' internal affairs and the Imperium exercises control over the defense and foreign affairs.

*A ''Protectorate'' is a territory or sovereign state under The Imperium's suzerainty. The state possesses its own political and administrative statute and government, and local rulers retain near-absolute control over the states' internal affairs and the Imperium exercises control over the defense and foreign affairs.

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.
