Huadao is a [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|civil rectory]] governed in accord with the provisions of the [[Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State|Rectory and Overseas Territory Law]]. Accordingly, it is governed by a Rector appointed by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] by the non-binding advice of the [[Government of Urcea]]. Unlike many of Urcea's other insular rectories, Huadao has a relatively robust Rectory government sitting atop a number of local government structures. | Huadao is a [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|civil rectory]] governed in accord with the provisions of the [[Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State|Rectory and Overseas Territory Law]]. Accordingly, it is governed by a Rector appointed by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] by the non-binding advice of the [[Government of Urcea]]. Unlike many of Urcea's other insular rectories, Huadao has a relatively robust Rectory government sitting atop a number of local government structures. The three localities of Huadao are enabled to make their own regulations regarding to construction, zoning, fire protection, taxation, public sanitation, and similar issues. The Rector's government, meanwhile, retains total control of all transportation infrastructure constructed on the island, including roads, rail, bridges, and the port. Additionally, the Rector's administration oversees the Insular Police Department, which handles all law enforcement responsibilities for the island. There is also only a single court on the island, authorized by the Rector's government and sitting in Flower City. The Rector's government also serves as the liaison between the [[Urcean military]] and the people of Huadao and its localities. | ||

There are three distinct localities on Huadao - Flower City, which is the Cathedral City and only incorporated "city", and the towns of New Coria and Hookshead. Flower City encompasses the land along the southern lagoon and the island's only major harbor, and is governed as an [[Government_of_Urcea#Executive_polis|executive polis]] according to Urcean Law. It has a Mayor and 7-member City Council which provide for its laws and administration. New Coria sits on the north coast of the island and is governed as a [[Government_of_Urcea#Civil_commune|civil commune]], with collective decisionmaking. Hookshead is on the eastern portion of the main island in the smaller, eastern lagoon, and is also governed as a civil commune. Collectively, the three localities provide for some of the day-to-day administrative needs of the people, with a large number of prerogatives retained for the Rector's government. | There are three distinct localities on Huadao - Flower City, which is the Cathedral City and only incorporated "city", and the towns of New Coria and Hookshead.
