States of the second Johanian Republic

In the Johanian Republic, a state was a constituent political entity, of which there were 37. Bound together in a political union, each state held governmental jurisdiction over a separate and defined geographic territory and shared its sovereignty with the federal government. Due to this shared sovereignty, Johanians are citizens both of the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. State citizenship and residency were flexible, and no government approval was required to move between states, except for persons restricted by certain types of court orders (such as paroled convicts and children of divorced spouses who are sharing custody),

## Subdivisions

State Soviet Councils was allocated power by the people (of each respective state) through their individual constitutions. All were grounded in libertarian socialist principles and often also Vaushist principles, and each provides for a government, consisting of three branches, each with separate and independent powers: executive, legislative, and judicial. States were divided into communes or commune-equivalents, which may be assigned some local governmental authority but are not sovereign. Communes or commune-equivalent structure varies widely by state, and states also create other local governments and workers’ councils.

## Autonomous republics

The majority of the Johanian states were designated as "federal states” in the senate. The exception being the two states that have been granted the status of an Autonomous Republic. These two were the Myohanian Autonomous Republic and the Autonomous Republic of Rojava. These states had significantly more self-governing than the remaining states. They had their own constitutions and passports. Rojava and Myohania additionally had extra representation in the federal senate in order to guarantee that their autonomony is preserved. Despite the fact that they handle their own foreign affairs, Johanian citizens from other states still had the right to move freely to and from the two autonomous republics.

## Regions with limited autonomy

The aforementioned four states with less sovereignty were the following: St. John, Odessa, Hellas Protectorate and Heartland. Which each having a unique case as to why that was. St. John being the capital city is merely nominally a state, but in practice treated as a federal district, controlled directly by the Johanian government. The Odessa Free City, was supposedly a self-governing city-state, although it has been widely reported that is not the case. Due to the city functioning as a second capital, it has yet to recieve a seat in the senate and local legal infrastructure. The Hellas Protectorate had major political and economic instability, and was thus, according to the federal senate, to be under temporary federal control until the situation has settled. The Johanian government also directly controlled nearby regions such as the Anatolian peninsula and Cyprus. The only non-sovereign Johanian state not controlled by the federal government is Heartland, which was administried by Westcoastistan, and the Westcoastistani senator Vaush.
