Herciana is a [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|civil rectory]] of [[Urcea]], and accordingly it is governed as an overseas territory in accordance with the provisions of the [[Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State|Rectory and Overseas Territory Law]]. The island is governed by a Rector appointed by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] by the non-binding advice of the [[Government of Urcea]]. Unlike many other rectories, the civil rector has broad executive and quasi-legislative authority over the island and governs in consultation with an elected legislature, the Body of Notables, which provides non-binding advice on the laws of the island, although since the end of the [[Occidental Cold War]] the advice of the Body has been increasingly adopted as standing law by the Rector in part due to the increasing workload of the Rector. Much of the Rector's daily responsibility includes serving as the liaison between the Body of Notables and his own administration of the island and the [[Government of Caphiria]], who has historically refused to receive any other representative than the Rector himself. | |||
The [[Criminal_justice_system_of_Urcea#Overseas_administrative_courts|Oceanic Regional Overseas Administrative Court]] is responsible for the administration of criminal and civil justice in Herciana, with [[Veltorine people|Veltorine]] judges making up a lion's share of all OAC judges due to the presence of [[New Veltorina]] within the overall overseas judicial system. | |||
