Feudalism is still practiced to a limited degree in Casilló y Réal. The system has been described as post-feudal, semi feudal, and pseudo-feudal, though it is academically described as a "hereditary peerage bureaucracy." There exists a list of eighty two family lines codified within the First Constitution as being ‘Noble Blood.’ These Houses, as they are known, retain certain rights and privileges carried over from their lineage as the most prominent noble lines of the Andoran kingdoms. |

Members of the Noble Blood Houses are afforded limited control over the real estate historically associated with their titles. The nine districts of the nation were designed for the dual purpose of streamlining regional governance and maintaining the Noble Blood land borders. These expanses of land controlled are known as ''heredados''. Local governments must get the approval of their lords to build or rezone sections of the lord's ''heredad'', but may have overruled the lords decision with a supermajority vote. Lords have a responsibility to ensure the upkeep of their ''heredados'' public works and that the tax revenue collected is being used responsibly. The lords may appoint officials to positions in public works or taxation, but these appointments must be cross examined and approved by local governments. |
