As a province of [[Oustec]] at the time of its independence, Arona retained most of its pre-independence provincial governance structure. Accordingly, Oustec is a unitary state divided into four administrative zones and forty three municipalities. The administrative zones serve little function other than a method by which the judicial system is organized as well as a clearinghouse for militia service and conscription, if needed. The zones share the same geographic outline as the former provincial "frontierships", military administrative areas where one general was responsible for protection of Oustec's frontier. The forty three municipalities completely divide Arona in the sense that there is no {{wp|unincorporated territory}} within the country. The municipalities are largely organized along traditional [[Occidental]] lines, with an elective mayor and local legislative body. The names and membership for these institutions are determined by local ordinance and vary greatly. | |||
