Since the establishment of the Kingdom, Quetzenkel has been divided into ten departments and the "Royal District" surrounding the capital city of Akwesasne. Prior to the establishment of the Kingdom, Quetzenkel was divided into forty-five Lesser Chiefdoms; these are still reflected in the titles of the King of Quetzenkel as "Lord of the Forty Five".
