Provinces of Rutania

The Commonwealth of Rutania is republic formed by 5 provinces. The provinces are free and sovereign and each has its own executive, legislative and judicial branches.

=Overview= The provinces of the Commonwealth are free, sovereign, autonomous, and independent of each other. They are free to govern themselves according to their own laws; each province has a constitution that cannot contradict the federal constitution, which covers issues of national competence. The states cannot make alliances with other nations without the consent of the federal government.

The political organization of each province is based on a separation of powers in a congressional system: legislative power is vested in a unicameral legislature; executive power is independent of the legislature and vested in a governor elected by universal suffrage; and judicial power is vested in a provincial Supreme Court. Since provinces have legal autonomy, each has its own civil and penal codes and judicial body. Provinces are further subdivided into counties which deal with local issues. Municipalities (cities, towns, villages) deal with issues in their respective jurisdictions.
