Political Anomaly of the Solomorssian Isles

The **Political Subdivisions of the Solomorssian Isles**, better known as **Medallions**, are the subdivisional anomalies of the Solomorssian Isles, which are considered as subnational territories that comes under the jurisdiction of the federal, Central Government, based in the capital of Seatram City. Solomorssian Isles is a federal republic—meaning it is split into various bounded regions that have or exercise some or more powers, depending on its type. All of the medallions, however, are under the jurisdiction of the Solomorssian Constitution.

Historically, after the passing of the Treaty of Cantabria in 1501, the entire Solomorssian Isles and the Maritime Peninsula was brought to under French control (minus few ports and fortifications). At the time, the colony was divided into multiple *cantons*, which have been modified centuries later, until when Solomorssian Isles gained independence. Today, these subdivisions are called "*medallions*", which have roots from all French, Spanish, British, and even Portuguese and Dutch colonizations. Some medallions enjoy more rights than others, varying from the selection of subnational languages to even having a "Medallion Constitution". This has changed for over a while, especially since the times of the Third and the Fourth Republic.

According to the *Solomorssian Constitutional Medallion Theory*, the medallions of the country are either co-sovereign and incorporated, or autonomous and unincorporated, depending on their presence from/in the mainland. There is also a great variable factor of homogeneity and affirmity to be devised within and ruled by the Federal Government itself, although this has been considered obsolete, or for the autonomous and unincorporated regions/territories to vote for independence, as per a legal referendum recognized by the Central Government at Seatram City.

## Classifications

The *39th Amendment Act* of the Constitution laid out that the several types of medallions encompassed within the Solomorssian Isles will gain certain rights and effective autonomy. It says there are 5 major types of medallions, being:

### a. Dominions

Dominion status in the Solomorssian Isles is considered the supreme and foremost political sub-divisional status. If a domain is considered a medallion, this implies:

* It can have upto a total of 5 (sub-)national languages, that can be different from the national languages.
* It can have its own Macrostution (Medallion/Dominion Constitution).
* Its elections can be held without any interference or recommendations by the central government.
* It can have its own executive council, legislature, and judiciary.
	+ The sub-national legislature, however, should not violate the national Constitution's provisions; otherwise, it leads to the abortion of the sub-national legislature.

#### Promotion

Most dominions (like New Yorkshire and Cradem) were actually some other types of medallions (most prominently provinces) in the early periods of Solomorssian Isles. The dominion status was enacted by the government of the Third Solomorssian Republic, majorly because some provinces were considered to be too worthy of both statehood and provincial statuses. Cradem was important for the Florence Strait, and had been the main cause of attention to separate; New Yorkshire is the military state for the country, and also has several geographic barriers (along with Champlain and St. Lawcrausay, etc.; Admonton was the major centre of agrarianism, industrialization, and the overall growth of the economy and the population (as well as Adamakee; so, to avoid more federal mistakes and to grant more federal autonomy for the ubiquitous medallions, the dominion status was launched around the times of the Fourth Republic.
