| As a vestige of its past as two separate states, North Niyaska and South Niyaska, Niyaska employs two Secretaries of State in its Cabinet: A Secretary of State for the Northern Department who represents North Niyaskan interests and handles relations with states whose capitals stand north of Parþotren, and a Secretary of State for the Southern Department who represents South Niyaskan interests and handles relations with states whose capitals stand south of Parþotren. Niyaska's trade promotion offices in other [[Ixnay|Ixnayan]] countries fall under the Southern Department, except in [[Levantia]] where they fall under the Northern Department, as do offices outside of Ixnay. Similarly, the state maintains two separate appellate courts for the North and the South.
