As a confederation, the constituent parts of New Harren are its key political, social, and administrative unit. There are twelve constituent parts of the Kingdom, and each has a fully-fledged internal government and public administration. The constituencies are largely self-governing within the framework of the Statutory Charter of 2024. The only limitations on autonomy are several legal and economic baselines set forth by acts of the Kingdom's Grand Council and within the Statutory Charter, as well as an extremely limited set of regulations enacted by the central government. These baselines are intended to serve as frameworks to maintain basic legal compatibility between the constituencies, ensure standardized weights, measures, and other economic factors, and to ensure a basic level of democratic institutions. While those creating the Charter envisioned eleven divergent forms of governance, since its institution the constituencies have largely adopted uniform codes and systems of government, with scholars categorizing them into three similar types: "Occidental", those governments occupied by Occidental settlers and their descendants and modeled after Occidental governments; "National", a basic system of hierarchy for the indigineous peoples of the Confederation only somewhat patterned after Occidental governments, and; "Subconfederate", a type of government used by constituencies which themselves are culturally and geographically disparate, being held together only to represent their common interest as small minorities. | |||

The "Occidental" form of government is only employed by the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]]. It has been the basic form of government for the Rectory for more than a century, with only minor changes to the role of the Governor-General in its affairs. The Rectory is governed by an elected executive, called the "Deputy" (originally the Deputy Rector, then Deputy Governor-General) with a bicameral legislature comprised of the Senate and Deliberative Assembly. This form of government is directly based on the [[Government_of_Urcea#Province|Urcean province]]. | The "Occidental" form of government is only employed by the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]].
