===Provinces===

Tretrid, as a federal state, consists of ten states, or ''land''. Each ''land'' has autonomy to decide its own internal organization and is allowed to pass its own laws though its own legislatures (''landmōt''), though the Witan's laws always take precedence over that of the landmoots.

Each ''land'' has autonomy to decide its own internal organization and is allowed to pass its own laws though its own legislatures (''landmōt''), though the Witan's laws always take precedence over that of the landmoots. The ''land'' operate as [[w:parliamentary republic|parliamentary republic]]s with the head of state, the ''ealdormann'', who depend on the confidence of the landmoots.

The status of the provinces is constitutionally guaranteed under the Charter of Privileges, which enumerates powers that are delegated to the provincial legislatures. Under the Charter, powers not granted to the ''landmōt'' under the Charter is reserved for the federal government.

''Land'' are further subdivided into shires (''sċīra''), which are further divided into [[w:Hundred (county division)|hundreds]] (''hundredu''). Hundreds do not have special constitutional status, so their statuses are determined under both federal law and the law of the provinces under whose jurisdiction they lie.

Hundreds do not have special constitutional status, so their statuses are determined under both federal law and the law of the provinces under whose jurisdiction they lie. Cities (''byrġ'') have their boundaries legally defined as containing certain hundreds, over which their respective municipal governments have jurisdiction. Some ''byrġ'' are coterminous with their respective shires, giving them the special legal status of "Burg and Shire" and a government that performs both the duties of the shire government and the municipal government.

The chief executive of a shire is a [[w:sheriff|shire-reeve]] (''sċīrġerēfa'', sometimes translated as "sheriff"), while the chief executive of a ''burg'' is a [[w:portreeve|portreeve]] (''portġerēfa''). Cities with the status of "Burg and Shire" have different names for their chief executive for historical reasons. Cities also have their own legislature, the burgmoot (''burgmōt'').

===Dependencies===

The governance of overseas territories was reorganized in the aftermath of the end of the Great War and abandonment of Southwest Gondwana, largely due to the implementation of a set of recommendations from a parliamentary committee set up to investigate the general lack of control over Clifport.

Tretridian dependencies, as well as Transnalpia, have stewards (''stiweardas'') that fulfill the role of a [[w:viceroy|viceroy]] by performing ceremonial duties that in mainland Tretrid would be performed by the King.

Tretrid's only dependency in the modern day is [[Fowlstone Island]] in the Cerenerian, which maintains a high degree of autonomy in its internal affairs.
