Civil rectories, such as [[Medimeria]], are civilian governments overseeing smaller territorial possessions such as overseas islands. Though the Rector is appointed by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], the territory is organized into local governments like in the Urcean metropole. Typically, the rectory is small enough that there is no need for the creation of provinces or other districts between the rectory government and the local governments, so the former directly oversees the latter. In civil rectories, Rectors are given wide ranging authority to organize their own territorial government, though formal precedent has lead to the "inheritance" of an established bureaucratic and governmental apparatus from one Rector to another. Civil rectories all have informal "island assemblies" made up of representatives from the various elected local governments within the rectory, and these island assemblies have wide-reaching if non-binding authority in the form of consultation with the Rector, whom typically defers to the cultural experience and knowledge of the local leaders. Outgoing Rectors often bring their prospective successors to these assemblies for their non-binding "ratification" and report the results back to [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]; local opposition is often justification for pulling an appointment for Rector.

Military rectories, such as [[Cetsencalia]] during [[The Deluge]], are military governments overseeing territories in transient political states or territories near combat or war or are the subject of a war. These territories are typically directly overseen by theater commanders of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], though they typically delegate political authority to subordinate committees. Like civil rectories, local governments are either maintained or organized like those in [[Urcea]], but the military oversees the affairs of local governments in a manner similar to marital law. Military rectories do not convene territorial assembles like the civil rectories do. Unlike any other organ of Urcean governance, military rectories are divided into districts overseen by a local commander. Unlike civil rectories, military rectories are always a temporary expedient that lasts the duration of a military or diplomatic crisis, such as occupied territories during the [[Second Great War]], and are usually dissolved into civil rectories or regain sovereignty following the cessation of hostilities. Military rectors are usually the rank of [[Ranks_in_the_Urcean_Armed_Forces#Field.2C_Flag_and_Staff_Officers|Prafáti Princeps]] and are almost always members of the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]].

Prior to [[2027]], Military Rectories were usually held by the theater commander. However, the significant amount of territories that fell under Urcean occupation during the [[Final War of the Deluge]] concentrated multiple territories under the command of [[Martin St. Clair]], creating administrative issues. The Foreign Occupation Act of 2027 decoupled theater command from territorial governorships in certain cases and allowed the [[Procurator]] to directly appoint a military governor on the advice of military leaders.
