Anglei is divided into five states which were originally the five constituent integral duchies of the United Angle States upon its creation. These states were ruled by their original hereditary dukes prior to [[1914]], but since have been led by elected executive officers known as Governors, fashioned after [[Government of Urcea|the Urcean style of governance]]. Governors serve three year terms. All five states are governed by unicameral State Witans. These are elected by proportional list voting, and serve the same term as Governor. | Anglei is divided into five states which were originally the five constituent integral duchies of the United Angle States upon its creation.

Governors serve three year terms. All five states are governed by unicameral State Witans. These are elected by proportional list voting, and serve the same term as Governor. The five states are all further divided into administrative elements known as {{wp|Hundred (county division)|hundreds}}. All administrative officials of the hundreds - usually Supervisor, Comptroller, and Sheriff - are appointed from among the hundred's residents by the State Witan. The hundreds are comprised of multiple municipal townships known as {{wp|Riding (division)|ridings}}. There are no distinctions in Anglei's system between major cities, rural towns, or suburban settlements, all are known and governed as ridings. The ridings themselves usually have an elective mayor and riding council, but the hundred's supervisor in which the riding exists also has appointments to each riding council. | ||
