Prior to independence, Rodoka was governed as a Tavari province (from 2020) or as an unprovinced territory (prior to 2020). Under both systems, however, as required under the Treaty of Sinajärv, there existed reserved land for Native Rodokans which was governed by a body known as the Rodokan Native Tribal Administration (RNTA), which is composed of elected representatives from the various tribes. The RNTA was established in 1992 as a legal successor body to the various tribes, who agreed to pool their resources and governance together. While the King of Tavaris held the title of High Chief, the Administration elected from among its membership a Presiding Chief, who along with a Tribal Council was the executive of the Administration. The Administration largely held the same authority in governance over its territory as a Tavari province would, and this was the case even before Rodoka itself became a province. The Treaty of Sinajärv, which was rendered obsolete by the Ranat Accords, could only be amended by mutual agreement of the Administration and the Tavari government, a process which was undertaken to establish the RNTA in 1992. The RNTA governed all public land within the reservation, regulated businesses, construction, and infrastructure, and could set a local income tax and a local VAT on goods and services. The national Tavari VAT was not charged inside the reservation, but the national income tax was - except it was reduced by the income tax rate charged by the RNTA, so that Native Rodokans paid the same total income tax rate as other Tavari. Of the approximately 5 million people on Rodoka in the last Tavari census of the island, some 1.6 million were Native Rodokans. Additional areas administered by the RNTA included the island of Vaalsaar in the [[Avtovati Isles]], home to approximately 400,000 Native Rodokans; and the [[Isles of Kanor]], home to some 237,000 Native Rodokans, which became part of Rodoka and the Isles along with northern Rodoka.
