Lombardia consists of 93 [[List of counties in Lombardia|counties]], the fifth most in the country. Lombardia had sixty counties until the end of 1804, when the former state of Firença merged into Lombardia, adding thirty-three more to the state's western border. Some counties have been named for prominent figures in both the state and national histories from both Vachena and Cartadania, but the vast majority of the counties have tribally or geographically significant names. Each county in Lombardia has its own elected legislative branch, usually called the Board of Commissioners, which usually also has executive authority in the county. Some rural counties have a sole C form of government, with legislative and executive authority vested in a single person. These tend to be very low population counties and Lombardia is the only state in Cartadania that still allows these government forms to exist. Lombardia's constitution provides all counties and cities with home rule authority, which gives county commissions considerable power to pass legislation within their county, just a municipality would. Municipalities have full home rule powers, may adopt a charter, ordinances and resolutions for self-government. Each municipality chooses its own form of government, but most have elected mayors and city councils or city commissions.
