The '''administrative divisions of [[Caphiria]]''' are organized into three major levels: provincial, prefectural, and municipal. The highest level of the administrative structure is the provincial level, which includes provinces and possessions. Provincial-level divisions are divided into prefectural divisions, which include prefectures, autonomous prefectures, and super-prefectures. Prefectural-level divisions are further divided into municipal-level divisions, which include cities, municipal districts, municipalities, towns, townships, and villages among others. | The '''administrative divisions of [[Caphiria]]''' are organized into three major levels: provincial, prefectural, and municipal.

[[Possessions and territories of Caphiria|Possessions]] are the major overseas territories under the control of the Imperium. Caphiria does not classify its Possessions as subdivisions of the Imperium itself; rather, each is treated in law as a separate jurisdiction. Most have their own legislatures and a degree of autonomy usually exceeding that of the autonomous provinces, including fiscal independence. | [[Possessions and territories of Caphiria|Possessions]] are the major overseas territories under the control of the Imperium.

* An overseas province has exactly the same status as provinces on mainland Caphiria, with Caphirian laws and regulations (the Imperium's civil code, penal code, administrative law, social laws, tax laws, etc.) being applicable, but can be adapted as needed to suit particular needs. As integral parts of Caphiria, possessions are represented in the [[Corcillum of Caphiria|Assemblies of Caphiria]] as well as various councils in the national government, use the [[Aureus]], and are afforded all of the same liberties as mainland provinces As a result, the local administrations of possessions cannot themselves pass new laws. Possessions treated as the personal property of the reigning [[Imperator]]; | *An overseas province has exactly the same status as provinces on mainland Caphiria, with Caphirian laws and regulations (the Imperium's civil code, penal code, administrative law, social laws, tax laws, etc.) being applicable, but can be adapted as needed to suit particular needs.

* An Overseas Possession is a colony or territory with a semi-autonomous status allowing it to internally self-govern, with the Imperium retaining responsibility for defense and foreign relations. Possessions still follow the same organization of provinces, though the naming scheme may differ based on cultural and historical contexts; | *An Overseas Possession is a colony or territory with a semi-autonomous status allowing it to internally self-govern, with the Imperium retaining responsibility for defense and foreign relations.

* A Protectorate is a country or sovereign state under The Imperium's suzerainty. The state possesses its own political and administrative statute and government, and local rulers retain near-absolute control over the states' internal affairs and the Imperium exercises control over the defense and foreign affairs. | *A Protectorate is a country or sovereign state under The Imperium's suzerainty.

Still, The Imperium retains varying degrees of responsibility in all of the territories, currently ranging from full political control to a largely ceremonial presence. The main reserved matters are the areas of diplomacy, international treaties, defense and security.

The second level of the administrative structure in Caphiria is the prefectural level, which comprises prefectures, autonomous prefectures, and super-prefectures. Prefectures serve as vital intermediaries between the provincial and municipal levels. Prefectures are responsible for implementing national policies and coordinating local administration within their defined boundaries. They play a crucial role in maintaining effective governance, promoting regional development, and ensuring the smooth functioning of public services. Prefectures act as administrative, geographical, cultural, and political demarcations within the administrative structure of Caphiria. As representatives of the national government at the local level, prefectures exercise powers that are constitutionally attributed to the central government. They serve as a link between the provincial government and municipal administrations, facilitating the implementation of national policies and programs at the grassroots level. | The second level of the administrative structure in Caphiria is the prefectural level, which comprises prefectures, autonomous prefectures, and super-prefectures.

They oversee the implementation of national policies and programs, ensure the efficient provision of public services, and act as a liaison between the national government and local authorities.The prefecture's executive power is supported by a team of administrative staff and departments responsible for various areas of governance. These departments may include departments of transportation, education, health, public safety, economic development, cultural affairs, and more. The specific organization and structure of prefectural departments may vary to suit the needs and priorities of the respective prefecture. Prefectures also maintain close coordination with municipal-level administrations within their jurisdiction. They collaborate with municipal authorities to ensure the effective implementation of national policies and programs at the local level. This cooperative approach fosters synergy between different levels of government and promotes efficient governance and service delivery. | Each prefecture is headed by a ''praefectus'' (prefect), who is appointed by the [[Tribunal Assembly (Caphiria)|Tribunal Assembly]].
