The Here Document

The Here Document is a living constitutional paraseis of Akalajia, laying out the permittence of political, administrative, geographic, cultural and governing regions. Most recently, the Aded Amendment reshuffled the entire document for the purposes of some legal technicalities, largely to do with language and inflection, due to warnings from grumbling elected intelectuals. Below is an explanation of its current official contents:

First, we have the 'greater-within regions', which are used simply for distinctive geographic reasons. These are the Str'Stıridbris, an epi-region, the Welfuroth Steads, the Stemmens Rikes, the Uttluner Gords, the smallest 'greater-within region', the Verne Acolands, .

Other officially-recognised geographic regions include Briesrin, which at this stage has failed to gain any major sovereignty, or status as, for example, and Administrative Region or a Staent.

The first set of distinct regions with devolved powers are the Administrative Regions. Each one has an administrative capital. There are fourteen of these; The Capital Region, regions 2-7, region 8/9, and regions 10 to 14. in order, they are: Readinborough, the Capital Region, Staurealises, The Second Region, The Landing, the Third Region, Virgumbia, the Fourth Region, Veeyside, the Fifth Region, Gernerea, the Sixth Region, Avonus'd, the Seventh Region, Yearl, and Eight and Ninth Region, Carliyne, the Tenth Region, Erminlyie, the Eleventh Region, W'Vonthun & Toethisbrire, the Twelth Region, Berchuntiyne, the Thirteenth Region, Tursinbad, the Fourteenth Region, and Strunsbiibire, the Original Region.

Locations without the overseership of an Administrative Region include the city of Turinton, alone in its state of 'careless freedom'. Then there is Od. Detalisnia, the sole semified Officialised Independent Region within Akalajia, which holds a special place with minimal oversight from even the national unitary government. There are also the Selective Regions, created long-after the Staent system but long-before the first Administrative Region. These must follow *most* national law to the letter, but have certain special powers within their jurisdiction, and have direct control over their local governship, with no counties or boroughs. This results in a relatively Laissez-faire approach to structural power systems within these regions. (NO is INCoRRECT INFORMATION)

Then there are the Staents, usually with their own capitals. These are historical 'states', which only hold cultural, historic and geographic importance in present times (as of y152). However, many Staents carried over into the Administrative Regions, with names and borders being maintained for some. Others are distributed between one or more Administrative Regions.

Within the Administrative Regions, are sub-regions. Not all Administrative Regions have these, and they are completely distinct from the Staents, with actual deposed powers still given to them. Minor nationally devolved powers are also sometimes given to them, under the assertion that they must not contradict Regional Law.

Metropolitan Area Governments are next.

Counties are the next tier below. Prime Counties (historically Everieghn Counties) are a now-rare form of counties, usually on the larger side, which hold some of the powers usually given to the incumbent Administrative Region, making them much more powerful than usual, with a higher degree of sovereign control over their territory. Prime Counties are unique in that they, functionally, have no boroughs - if they do, they have no formal council of assembly or control of authority over their entity's territory. The only (functionally) countyless area in Akalajia is Readinborough Cites, the national capital.

According to the Oftern Rule, boroughs and counties play different roles, basically existing within separate and different power structures and hierarchies, with county authorities for example handling law enforcement and sometimes judicial order, while borough councils and assemblies would often be responsible for waste collection initiatives, though some of this might be deposed to a smaller town or city entity.

Boroughs are similar to counties, and some are merged to form a County-Borough, with the same name and borders. Metropolitan Boroughs are generally smaller than standard boroughs, usually found within official metropolitan areas, and these reside below and answer to the Metropolitan Area Governments, or to a city or town entity if there is no such government institution. Meanwhile, Local Metropolitan Boroughs, usually smaller again, answer hierachily to their corresponding city or town entity, if they have one, which then above them, lies the Metropolitan Area Government, which they are always within the jurisdiction of.

Next are city and town entities.

District Areas are the lowliest form of continence, within which are the powerless District Entities.

There are also Village Authorities, which are recognised officially, like the geographic regions, but have no distinct powers that would otherwise be given to the above county or borough, and are not officially boundaried entities.
