Ceylonia is separated into thirteen provinces and two independent cities, the capital city of Santa Maria, located at the northern end of the Baía dos Cocos, and East Sachia, the second largest city situated alongside the western border with Tierrador. Under the Ceylon Constitution, the provinces have an elected provincial government composed of the Provincial Governor and the Provincial Assembly. The governor constitutes the executive body, proposes budgets, and creates decrees, resolutions, and provincial programs. The Provincial Assembly, the provinces' legislative body, debates and votes on budgets, supervises provincial elected officials, and is able to hold votes on removing the governor, deputy governor, or any member of the assembly from office if they see fit. The provincial governor and the Provincial Assembly serve a term of four years, without immediate reelection. These governments plan regional development, execute public investment projects, promote economic activities, and manage public property. The cities of Santa Maria and East Sačia is administered by a municipal council, headed by a mayor. The purpose of devolving power to regional and municipal governments was to improve popular participation and give Ceylonians a greater since of community. NGOs played an important role in the decentralization process and still influence local politics, though remain in check under the national government's regulation. Some areas of Ceylonia are defined as metropolitan areas which may overlap political boundaries and extend into several provinces. The largest of them, the Santa Maria metropolitan area, is the seventh-largest metropolis in the Cronan continent.
Ceylonia is separated into thirty-six qoyalets, which also contain 42 Tribal Nations, and two independent cities; the capital city of Santa Maria, located at the northern end of the Baía dos Cocos, and East Sachia, the second largest city situated alongside the western border with Tierrador. Under the Ceylon Constitution, the qoyalets have an elected provincial government composed of the Qoyalet Governor and the Qoyaletasembalaí (provincial assembly). The governor constitutes the executive body, proposes budgets, and creates decrees, resolutions, and provincial programs. The Qoyaletasembalaí, the qoyalets' legislative body, debates and votes on budgets, supervises qoyalet elected officials, and is able to hold votes on removing the governor, deputy governor, or any member of the assembly from office if they see fit. The qoyalet governor and the Qoyaletasembalaí serve a term of four years, without immediate reelection. These governments plan regional development, execute public investment projects, promote economic activities, and manage public property. On the same level as the qoyalets are the 42 Tribal Nations of the country. All 42 nations are equally represented in the Chamber of Tribal Emissaries, of which three representatives from each nation is sent. The nations are considered semi-autonomous, and while they have some power over the land they hold, they still are considered part of a larger qoyalet, and must pledge allegiance to that respective qoyalet. The cities of Santa Maria and East Sachia is administered by a municipal council, headed by a mayor.
