Rapa Rapa is a [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|civil rectory]] of [[Urcea]] and 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]]. Accordingly, the island is governed by a Rector appointed by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] by the non-binding advice of the [[Government of Urcea]]. A vast majority of day-to-day governing functions on Rapa Rapa are handled by the municipal government of Rapa Rapa City. The City functions in the style of a Urcean [[Government_of_Urcea#Executive_polis|executive polis]], meaning it has an elected mayor and city council, with a municipal administrative apparatus. As almost all of Rapa Rapa is part of Rapa Rapa City, the atoll is largely self-governing, and political scientists have observed the island functions more like a {{wp|protectorate}} than an overseas territory. The Rectory's government is largely responsible only for environmental protection, liaising between the [[Government of Urcea]] and the City government, and serving as the main coordinating office between the [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] and City government, given the importance of the Navy's base on the island. As stated, most of the atoll's landmass is part of Rapa Rapa City, with around 5% of the outstanding land area being part of environmental preserves and another approximate 5% under the direct ownership of the Royal Navy. | |||
