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. | 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 [[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. | 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. | ||

The island is divided into twelve ''conrudiments'', following the nomenclature of the [[Judiciary of Urcea]], which are administrative and legislative divisions which encompass the twelve major metropolitan areas of the island. Uniquely, the Herci conrudiments are all perfectly divided as like a {{wp|pie chart}}, with straight lines running directly from a dividing point on the center of the island out to the island's sovereign sea borders. The conrudiments were established in [[1960]], and serve not only as local governments but also the constituencies from which members of the Body of Notables are elected. The conrudimental system has become subject to increasing criticism as the growing population of the interior of the island are not well represented in the system according to [[Levantia|Levantine]] democracy analysts, with many new towns and villages being divded into thirds, halves, and even one town near the center of the island divided into eight conrudimental parts. | |||
