The **Hilltop State Intercounty Assembly** (**HSIA**) is a collaborative body that brings together elected representatives from all of Hilltop's counties to discuss and address regional issues and concerns. By fostering communication and cooperation among county officials, the HSIA aims to promote effective governance and enhance the overall well-being of Hilltop's communities. HSIA meets with the Secretary-General of the Intercounty Committee of the Terranova House of Citizens Legislative Assembly to discuss cross-border issues and to promote cooperation between the two regions. HSIA actively participates in regional planning and development initiatives, working towards the sustainable growth and prosperity of Hilltop's counties.

The Director-General of the Hilltop State Intercounty Assembly is in charge of overseeing the organization's day-to-day operations and strategic direction, advocating for unified policies, and appointing Hilltop State Counties Council Presidents, County Planning Directors, and other key positions. HSIA also organizes regular conferences and workshops to facilitate knowledge sharing among member counties and foster collaboration on issues such as transportation, economic development, and environmental conservation. Representing the interests of Hilltop's counties at state and federal levels, the HSIA works to ensure that the concerns and needs of its member counties are heard and addressed in legislative and regulatory processes. By actively engaging with lawmakers and government agencies, the HSIA aims to influence policy decisions that impact the Hilltop State counties, promoting equitable resource allocation and effective governance for the benefit of all residents.

The Director-General also serves on the Intercounty Committee, where they collaborate with county representatives from other states to address regional issues and develop solutions that benefit all communities. The Director-General helps both the Speaker of the House and the Secretary-General of the Intercounty Committee coordinate and facilitate discussions among county representatives, ensuring that all voices are heard and considered in the decision-making process. The Assembly ensures that all members are informed about upcoming meetings and legislative matters, as well as any updates or changes in the regional issues being addressed.

The Director-General's Office of the Hilltop State Intercounty Assembly is located in Laurelton, Jacques County, Hilltop. The Office of the Director-General is the office place of both the Director-General and their staff, who are responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Assembly. They work closely with county representatives to gather information, draft agendas, and prepare materials for meetings. By establishing a physical presence in each county, the Director-General's Office is able to better understand the specific needs and concerns of the communities they serve. This allows for more targeted and effective advocacy on behalf of the counties, leading to improved collaboration and outcomes for all involved.

Serving as the Director-General of the Hilltop State Intercounty Assembly since December 24, 2026 is Vanessa R. Goodwin. The Office of the Director-General has led a number of innovative projects that aim to improve the standard of living for all state citizens under his direction.

By addressing these specific needs, the Hilltop State Intercounty Assembly, under the leadership of Director-General Goodwin, strives to create a more equitable and inclusive society, ensuring that no one is left behind. The Hilltop State Intercounty Assembly is confident in its capacity to promote cooperation and development among counties under Director-General Goodwin's leadership.

The Hilltop State Intercounty Assembly is made up of Jacques County, Hillcrest County, Crawford County, Novarica County, Ridge County, and Buckshire County, each of which is overseen by a Chief Executive Director. Each county's Chief Executive Directors collaborate to solve shared concerns and explore possibilities for regional collaboration. They gather on the 15th of every month to address various issues impacting their counties and to plan how to successfully advocate for their needs at the state level. These sessions allow Chief Executive Directors to discuss best practices, exchange ideas, and coordinate efforts to promote Hilltop State's common success and prosperity. These meetings are also used by the Chief Executive Directors to build alliances and cultivate connections with key stakeholders, including state legislators and business leaders, who can help their counties' initiatives. They use the collective voice of all six counties to advocate for policies and funding that will benefit the entire region, thereby strengthening Hilltop State.
