Ayaupia is divided into 17 provinces, which are the second level of subdivisions. Under three constituent countries, they are home of 90 subprovincial divisions, named as such because of their varying natures, those being the third level of administratives subdivisions.


Provinces were officialy established in 1955, after the country was formed. Their territories follow the broad variety of dialects and people that live in Ayaupia. Each province corresponds to an area where a dialect is spoken and where a specific culture is. The Administrative Code of Ayaupia explains why provinces are used as such :

Article 5. In order to maintain a peaceful and federate nation, it is by all means crucial to give a voice to any particular distinctive group of people. Therefore, each constituent countries shall be divided into linguistical and historical inherited territories belonging to them, named "provinces". More precisely, a province correspond to a distinguishable group of languages and tribes that played a role in Ayaupia's history and culture. A province shall have its own flag, made-up totem merging all tribal emblems into one, parliament named the "Provincial Assembly" having administrative power over its own territory, as well as various related institutions.

A province has its own parliament, the Provincial Assembly which dictates specific laws and acts as the conductor of managing different aspects of life. This assembly can deny a law proposed by the Federal Assembly and make their own version, or ask for changes. Made of the most influential political parties, it has 100 seats where a party has to own at least 5 seats to be represented.

The provinces can also decide on how their territories will be administred, and are able to choose between three types : the department, the region or the clanic territory (specific to Nestonia). According to the Administrative Code, provinces are organised as such :

Article 10. To, as mentioned in the article 5, consider again the broad variety of our nation's culture and to propose a justified and accurate division of our country, provinces are allowed to organise themselves. Therefore meaning they possess an ability to be divided into types of subdvisions that will correspond to their historical and cultural identity, different from other administred territories.

An "identity" is defined as a consistent, unified and precisely distinguishable group of people rallying under one banner, totem and different cultural practices and identifying themselves as a unique tribe, owning a unique way of speaking, being able to be differenciated from another group of the same definition.

The three types of subprovincial divisions are detailed as follow :

  1. The department : refers to any subdivisions not matching with any historical or cultural identity and used only to administrate the said territory. The word "department" is used to indicate the use of multiple subterritories without any specific attachment to any notion, in the sole purpose to organise the province. This province shall be divided into departments if there aren't any distinctive entity to represent, or if the majority of the province's territory correspond to a unique identity.
  2. The region : refers to any subdivisions related to a historical or cultural entity that existed in the past and still is today. The word "region" indicates a territory possessing a distinct and unique dialect and tribe, as well as traditional customs and manners. The region shall strictly follows the location of the said entity thus its borders corresponding to the specific identity it represents, as well as the province shall be divided into regions if there are multiple of those distinctive identities.
  3. The clanic territory : refers to any subdivisions following the clanic or familial organisation that ruled and managed a territory. The word "clanic territory" stands for a particular land owned by a clan or a family. This is specific to the constituent country of Nestonia and shall not be used in any other constituent country. A clanic territory shall correspond to the land of a clan that lasted until today and is a fundamental part of the province. This province shall be divided into clanic territories if they were in their history until a recent date organised into clans or families in order to represent the identity of the said province and its specificities.

Being potentially torn between the region or the department choice, that situation originating from a small but still significant number of distinctive identities and a unique identity covering a major part, the province can be authorised to use both of these subdivisions. This particular use shall be specified in the province's laws, displays and various informations through medias and knowledge.
