Mandatory Venua'tino is administered by the Commission for Venua'tino'pouri'tino'nui based in [[Shenendehowa Bay]]. The Commissioner, appointed by the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Ministry of State (Urcea)|Ministry of State]], is responsible for the execution of international law within the Mandate as well as the organization of League efforts in the Mandate. The Commission originally had ten subordinate agencies, being the Agencies of Tribal Diplomacy, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Commercial Organization, Law and Justice, Education, Cultural Affairs and Preservation, Economic Development, and Environment. In [[2018]], with the reorganization of the Commission came just two subordinate units within the Commission, the Eastern Department and the Western Department. Each Department, lead by a Department Supervisor, had their own ten subordinate agencies modeled after the original Commission. The Eastern Department was abolished with its transformation into [[Copake]] in [[2025]]. | Mandatory Venua'tino is administered by the Commission for Venua'tino'pouri'tino'nui based in [[Shenendehowa Bay]].

Mandatory Venua'tino at its establishment was a large territory that, prior to the establishment of Copake and the separation of Otisco and Shenendehowa Bay, encompassed approximately five distinct cultural groupings and more than a dozen smaller regional cultures. Venua'tino is not, by most metrics, considered to be a nation in the cultural sense, but the peoples living in this region do share a common history and some shared origins. The five major indigenous groups of Venua'tino are the Owasco, the [[Copake|Copaish]], the Onondaga, the Cayuga, and the people living in and around Shenedehowa Bay, who do not have a well-attested denonym. | Mandatory Venua'tino at its establishment was a large territory that, prior to the establishment of Copake and the separation of Otisco and Shenendehowa Bay, encompassed approximately five distinct cultural groupings and more than a dozen smaller regional cultures.

The most prominent shared attribute between the peoples of Venua'tino is the [[Venua Faith]]. The religion, of which the vast majority of present and former Venua'tino peoples are adherents of, originated in the territory most likely during the period of [[Varshan]]i domination. It is a derivation of [[M'acunism]] with some aspects introduced from [[Arzalism]] according to some scholars. Though it is not a traditionally organized religion with a hierarchy or priesthood, it nonetheless plays a major role in the everyday culture, economy, and politics of the region. Many of the Venua peoples understand the purpose of public life as oriented towards bringing about population and economic growth within Venua'tino and abroad in order to hasten [[Venua_Faith#Creation_and_eschaton|the eschaton]]. In addition to their shared worldview, the worship practices of the Venua faith - particularly the offering of [[Venua_Faith#Burnt_offerings|burnt offerings]] - is commonly practiced from Shenendehowa Bay to Copake and everywhere in between. | The most prominent shared attribute between the peoples of Venua'tino is the [[Venua Faith]].

Burnt offerings are made in many different social contexts, including dedicated worship ceremonies, celebrations of major events like weddings, and solemnization of major social and political events, such as the official celebration of [[Copake]]'s independence. | ||
Beyond religion, the major cultural groups of Venua'tino have a few other shared practices; many of these were likely introduced during the Varshani period. One such similarity is that most Venua'tino recount the history of their families and ancestors in such a way that shows influence of [[Varshani historiography]], dealing with time as a non-linear and non-rational concept. This conceptualization leads to many Venua aphorisms and sayings that are functionally nonsense to outside observers, and there have been noted problems with communication between local and global business interests since the establishment of the Mandate. | Beyond religion, the major cultural groups of Venua'tino have a few other shared practices; many of these were likely introduced during the Varshani period.
