Administrative divisions

Allegheny consists of 6 Principalities. Each Principality controls most of its internal affairs except for those matters reserved by the Constitution to the National Government. Each Province has a Prince. Although the state religion of Allegheny is Paxism, South and North Talavero have Vayan Catholicism as their state religions. Thus the Bishop of Ansal is the Prince of North Talavero and the Bishop of Kemal is the Prince of South Talavero. The remaining four Princes have High Magisters of Paxism as their Princes. The Bishops are appointed by the Bishop of Eldura who is the Primate of the Vayan Catholic Church. Allegheny has a formal agreement with the Vayan Catholic Church known as the Concordat of the Commonwealth of Allegheny and the Holy See of the Vayan Catholic Church (luKhavnan alyUmahiyat aYulakhaan nadine luSih luHalaal aluUmah luKatholikiya luVayaan) whereby the Bishop of Eldura agrees to appoint as Princes of North and South Talavero, Ursine male Alleghenian citizens who have resided in North and South Talavero.

The other provinces are Uliveru, Kandarahan, Upper Ufrata and Lower Ufrata. The Princes meet once a year in the House of Princes. All provinces have a Premier who is the de facto chief executive. This person is elected by the Legislative Assembly of the Province and appoints the Members of the Provincial Executive Councils which are the highest decision making bodies in their respective executive branches. Each Province has a Legislative Assembly elected by its male tax-paying adult residents every four years concurrently with the National Elections. Each Province also has its own court system which adjudicate disputes and dispenses justice under provincial laws. These cases can be appealed to National Courts where appropriate. Each Province has a government and capital city.
