The **European Federation** is a **sovereign democratic federative State**, based on the respect for the **rights and freedoms of its citizens**.
It came into existence, on the basis of Art. 4, Sec. 2, Subsec. M,of the Constitution, on the **6th of August 2020**.

### **Political and Administrative Divisions**

#### **Districts**

The Federation is divided into **5 semi-self-governing Districts**, though the Districts are only self-governing on paper, as the European Election Commision has yet to bring a constitutional law described under Art. 4/2L of the Constitution before the Senate.

The Districts are, as per Art. 4/1B of the Constitution: The District of **Central Europe**; The District of **Western Europe**; The District of **Northern Europe**; The District of **the Balkans**; and The District of **Southern Europe.**

#### **Regions**

The Districts are then, by the law LR-007 on the Regions, Counties, Localities and Municipalities (Territorial Bodies), divided into **Regions**, of which there are **37** in total. Whilst the **borders of Regions follow those of the former countries**, there exist **six exceptions:**

* The Region of Ireland includes Northern Ireland
* The Region of France includes the former Principality of Monaco.
* The Region of Spain includes the former Principality of Andorra.
* The Region of Italy is composed of also the former Republic of San Marino and the former Republic of Malta.

And lastly, the Region of Turkey does not within itself contain the territory of the Region of Kurdia, which is composed of the former province of Ağrı, and three NUTS-2 regions of the former Republic of Turkey, which are TRB-1, TRC-3, and TRC-2

*For more information on Regions (and Regional Governments) see the article on Regions.*

#### **Counties**

Regions are thereon by the previously cited law divided further into Counties, the law goes extensively (within 36 Secs. under one Para.) into this problematic, usually defining the Counties as either one of the NUTS region levels, or similarly to the teritorial divisions the name of which could be translated as "county" into English from the laguage dominant in the Region.

* The law forgets to define the Counties of the Region of Kurdia, and thus the region functions merely as a centralised government for the time being - though that is also not entirely true, as the Region had no prior government, the provisions of §27 and §28 cannot legaly apply to it, thus the Region is currently in chaos over who is and who is not truely in charge.

*For more information on Counties (and County Governments) see the article on Counties.*

#### **Localities**

The law thereon goes to define **Localities** as **administrative subdivisions** of Counties, that have **no less than 40 000 and no more than 250 000 inhabitants** at the time of their instatement. Localites are for example used to define teritorial jurisdiction of Locality Courts.

#### **Municipalities**

Lastly, the law describes **Municipalities** as territorial **self-governing communities of citizens**, defined by the Municipal Boundary.

It thereon devides Municipalities into **4 categories**:

* **Villages** - Municipalitie with less then 3000 residents
* **Towns** - Municipalities with between 3000 and 50000 residents that were granted such status by a decision of the Speaker of the Relevant Regional Assembly pursuant to a petition of the Village filed to the relevant Regional Council.
* **Cities** - Municipalities with over 50000 residents that were granted such status by a decision of the Speaker of the Relevant Regional Assembly pursuant to a petition of a Town filed to the relevant Regional Council.
* **Statutory Cities** - Cities (with over 100 000 residents) that were granted the right to subdivide into Buroughs by a decision of the Speaker of the Relevant Regional Assembly pursuant to a petition of a City filed to the relevant Regional Council.

*For more information on Municipalities (and Buroughs) (and Municipality (and Burough) Governments) see the article on Municipalities*
