-The '''administrative divisions of Cartadania''' or '''political divisions of Cartadania''' are the various governing entities that together form [[Cartadania]]. The first subdivisions are the states and territories, of which there are thirty-four total. The admission of states into the union is authorized by the [[Constitution of Cartadania]] and is conducted by [[Cartadanian National Congress|Congress]]. Most of the states admitted to the union outside of those in the Lusia Velha (Lusia region) have been formed from territories of Cartadania (that is, land under the sovereignty of the federal government but not part of any state) that were organized by an act or resolution of Congress, subject to the Congress' plenary powers under the territorial clause of Constitution, or from land in an already formed state or annexed nation that was partitioned to form smaller states. The Cartadanian [[Federal government of Cartadania|federal]] and state governments operate within a system of parallel sovereignty, so political states are not technically "divisions" created from Cartadania as in a unitary system, but rather units that, together with the [[Alahuela|capital]] and territories administered by the federal government, compose Cartadania. Territories of Cartadania are typically lands that have been purchased or annexed and fall under the sovereignty of the federal government. They have essentially all of the same powers of states except that they do not possess the same degree of autonomy as a state and do not maintain their infrastructure networks (Ilhas Bicarianas was the exception, maintaining all of it's networks due to its extreme distance before cession to Urcea).
+The '''administrative divisions of Cartadania''' are the various governing entities that together form [[Cartadania]]. The first subdivisions are the states and territories, of which there are thirty-eight total. The admission of states into the union is authorized by the [[Constitution of Cartadania]] and is conducted by [[Cartadanian National Congress|Congress]]. Predominantly, states outside the bounds of Lusia Velha have emerged through the organization of territories previously under federal sovereignty, often facilitated through congressional resolutions. Additionally, the partitioning of land within existing states or annexed regions has contributed to the formation of new states.
-State and territorial governments within Cartadania may enact their own laws and prosecute crimes pursuant thereto as long as they do not contradict or undermine [[Law of Cartadania|federal law]] or jeopardize constitutionality. Member states of Cartadania are then typically subdivided into counties or parishes (in the case of [[Milan]], [[Montecarlo]], and [[Porta Bianca]]) which exist at the mercy of the state in which they are located. For [[Solemia]], each island acted as a single county prior to the [[Goldstein Acts]], and with its ascension to statehood on 1 January 2026, some islands were grouped into single counties. This was formerly true for [[São Ricardo]] before Ricardo County split into three forming Ibiza county and the [[Lua|City and County of Lua]] alongside Ricardo.
+Within Cartadania's intricate political landscape, both [[Federal government of Cartadania|federal]] and state governments coexist as parallel entities, a testament to the nation's distinct system of shared sovereignty. Unlike unitary systems, where divisions are derived directly from a centralized entity, Cartadanian states, along with the capital and federal territories, collectively compose the intricate fabric of the nation. Territories, under federal jurisdiction, boast considerable powers comparable to states, with the exception of certain aspects of autonomy and infrastructure management. Over time, the autonomy of territories has advanced through congressional actions, blurring the historical distinction.
+State and territorial authorities wield legislative powers to formulate laws and administer justice, as long as these actions remain in harmony with [[Law of Cartadania|federal statutes]] and uphold constitutional principles. States are often further subdivided into counties or analogous divisions (such as parishes, municipios, and merindades), the parameters of which are determined by jurisdictional considerations. Notably, the evolution of regions within Cartadania follows distinct patterns, with prior island-based counties like [[Solemia]] undergoing restructuring under the [[Goldstein Acts]] upon its elevation to statehood in 2026. Similar transformations occurred within [[São Ricardo]], culminating in the formation of Pampalinda County and the City and County of Lua alongside Ricardo County.
+Facilitating a broader understanding of Cartadanian territory, the Cartadanian Institute of Geography and Statistics delineates nine macroregions based on geographic, social, and economic factors. While academically recognized, these divisions carry minimal political implications beyond informing federal-level initiatives. The individual states retain the authority to define internal subregional configurations, which may, on occasion, be referenced within federal records, contingent upon state-specific contexts and preferences.
