Provinces (Caphiria): Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Provinces''' (''Banlieueregio'') are the highest level [[Administrative_divisions_of_Caphiria|administrative divisions]] of [[Caphiria|Caphiria]]. There are currently 25 provincial-level divisions, classified into ~~17 Provinces, 2 Autonomous Provinces~~, 1 ~~Special~~ Administrative Province, and 5 Possessions. Provinces are ran by its elected chief administrator, the [[Praetor|Praetor]], who serves as the legal representative of the Imperator. However, Praetors have ''de facto'' authority over their province and the Imperator rarely interferes at the provincial level. The government of the province is called the ''provinciarum'', holding legal and administrative jurisdiction within its bounds.

There are currently 29 provincial-level divisions, classified into 24 provinces, 1 Administrative Province, and 4 Possessions. Provinces are ran by its elected chief administrator, the [[Praetor|Praetor]], who serves as the legal representative of the Imperator. However, Praetors have ''de facto'' authority over their province and the Imperator rarely interferes at the provincial level. The government of the province is called the ''provinciarum'', holding legal and administrative jurisdiction within its bounds.

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

Line 7:

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..

===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).

The sole Administrative Province in the Imperium is the Administrative Province of [[Sator|Sator]], which is led by the ''Praetor Proprius'', (Special Praetor).

===Possessions===

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. 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.
