===Local Government=== | |||
The territory of Devahoma is divided into countyships (''amtra''), which are in turn divided into townships (''pelantra''). Municipal governments chartered by the legislature - cities/towns (''sar''), and villages (''kōsuv'') may be incorporated to govern areas of concentrated settlement. Cities and towns supplete the administrative functions of the township(s) nominally containing them, whereas villages remain under the jurisdiction and responsibility of the township for certain purposes and services. In practice, Devahoman townships function mainly as rural service districts, with most built-up areas being incorporated into a municipality, though many growing {{wp|exurban}} areas and a few parts of the Escarda suburbs remain under township governance despite their density of settlement. | |||
The state's {{wp|primate city}}, Escarda, has special status under state law as ''Vèurosar'' ("prime city"), with a different political structure and more extensive powers than standard city governments. | |||
