The federal subdivisions of Urcea take three distinct forms as defined by the Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892, a major reform implemented during the regency of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]]. Most of the country is organized into provinces, which are a basic federal unit considered constituent parts of the Kingdom. Besides the provinces, there are crownlands - lands held directly by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] by merit of his other titles - of which two are considered the only integral parts of the Kingdom, the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]] and [[Grand Duchy of Yustona]] as defined by the [[Golden Bull of 1098]]. The remaining crownland, the [[Canaery|Electorate of Canaery]], is not integral to Urcea but enjoys pride of place as the sole remaining electorate of the mostly defunct [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. The final form of government are states, which were created for two of the most prominent [[Culture of Urcea#Minority%20Groups|minority groups]] in [[Urcea]] - the [[Gassavelian people]] and the [[Ænglish people]]. Each of the three forms of government have different representative and administrative structures. Prior to the [[Royal and Provincial Tax Act of 2020]], each of the three types of subdivisions paid a separate kind of tax to the central government, but all of these systems were replaced with a national income tax.
