Line 85:

Atavia is a [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|military rectory]] of [[Urcea]], and accordingly it is a governed by a Military Rector. The Military Rector is usually the Urcean military theater commander in an area, but in the case of Atavia, a [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] commander - presently [[Ranks_in_the_Urcean_Armed_Forces#Field.2C_Flag_and_Staff_Officers|Dep. Air Nav.]] Caolan Hinchey - was instead chosen due to the importance of the air base to Urcean defensive planning and its future importance to the island. The military rectory was established on 4 July [[2024]]. After the establishment of the military rectory, the island was divided into twenty departments and the Royal Air Force Exclusion Zone, which hosts the RAF Atavia airbase. The departments were established in January 2025 following a thorough survey of the island, considering traditional alliances between towns, historical political apparatuses dating back to before the Algosh conquest, and various kinship groups. The Military Rector governed the island more or less directly until [[2026]], when the Departmental Assembly was created as a consultative body. The Assembly consists of two delegates from each department. Beginning in [[2028]], the Departmental Assembly was given deliberative status and given a limited number of powers, including financial oversight of the Military Rector's administration and the right to appoint certain administrative agency heads. The Governmental Agreement of [[2029]] provides, once the territory is transitioned to a [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|civil rectory]], that the Departmental Assembly will assume full legislative functions in Atavia under the supervision of the civilian Rector.

The twenty departments themselves have varying governing models. Two function along the lines of an Occidental elective {{wp|Mayor–council government|mayor-council government}}, including the cathedral city-department of Keuka. Three have a kind of {{wp|parliament}}ary council model, where a departmental council invests executive authority into one of their own. Ten have a system sometimes called "absolutist annual {{wp|sortition}}", where a random individual from among a certified group of people serving with complete authority for a one year period. The certification system varies by department but is usually based on education in traditional Atani practices and views. The remaining five departments have a mix of these systems, including a sortition-based parliamentary council, a mayor-council system with a sortition-chosen mayor, and other similar combinations. The delegates from the departments to the Departmental Assembly also vary between election and executive appointment, but the Governmental Agreement of 2029 required that each department elect its two delegates at large once Atavia transitions to civilian government.
