{{Main|Administrative divisions of the Oan Isles}}
The Oan Isles is a highly centralized state. The central government maintains absolute control over the political process. Administrative divisions are an extension of the central government’s authority and coordinate the work of substructure beneath them. Regions are the highest levels of administration. They consist of districts which are further divided into municipalities. Municipalities do the most work and have the greatest control over their internal affairs. The Local Council is elected by the people and has the power to pass ordinances. The Mayor is elected directly and governs the local government with the assistance and advice of a Mayoral Council which he appoints.
The Oan Isles has control over other states which are nominally independent. In practice, the Oan Isles is the mother country. The states of the [[Kohatu Isles]] and Asian Pacific Islands have provisions in their constitutions which require Oan approval for the amendment of their constitutions and which delegate foreign relations, Defence and trade to the Oan Isles. Through the [[Polynesian Union]], they have a personal union with the Crown of Polynesia. This means that they recognized the Emperor of Polynesia as their head of state as well.
