Administrative divisions of Vyzera

Administrative divisions of Vyzera outline the institutional and divisional elements of Vyzeran territory, located across a plethora of galaxies and used to conduct administrative duties within. Due to the vast territory encompassed by Vyzera, there are many different types of administrative divisions which delineate geographical boundaries and political differences.

Core worlds
Core worlds serve as the political and jurisdictional epicenters for the Federation, which house the main bureaucratic and geopolitical bodies. These worlds consist of the first worlds inhabited by mankind, which have grown to become a base of operations for both the Vyzeran government and its military. There are currently 4 planets and moons classified as "core worlds", each with their own specialty.

Sectors
Serving as the jurisdiction right underneath the national jurisdiction, sectors encompass large groups of planets inhabited by Vyzeran residents. At the moment, Vyzera is split up into 423 sectors. These sectors serve an administrative purpose, electing representatives to the Senate and the Council of Civic Representation. They are also the most integrated territories under the national banner. Each sector possesses a devolved government with their own executive and legislative branches, as well as an elected sectorial administrator as the head executive.

Settlements
The official term for planetary colonies are "settlements". While settlements do not have much relevance in national and international politics, they also maintain a government with limited powers subject to sectorial control and a settlement governor.

Protectorates
Protectorates are special settlements that are under the protection of the Vyzeran government. Protectorates have likely either been recently colonized or integrated into the Vyzeran governmental system, yet they are granted near-full autonomy with internal affairs. The integration of these protectorates will later be voted on via a local referendum, allowing those located in these protectorates to determine their independence.

Collectives
These special divisions reflect a cohesive environment, with either an ethnic unity or alternative lifestyles. They are often experimental in nature, yet recognized by the overall national government. Depending on the size of the community and land mass being resided on, they may either be within the second administrative level or underneath a settlement's jurisdiction. Members of these collectives are often discriminated against or ostracized in Vyzeran society, therefore this is a rare and special division for them.

Districts
Districts are a lower jurisdiction, mainly used for administrative and geographical purposes. Tasks may be delegated to the district level, creating a quasi-government with settlement-created institutional bodies, but they do not have their own government except for special circumstances.

Municipalities
Municipalities hold both corporate status and can self-govern themselves under devolved national laws, responsible for the lowest levels of public administration. These in and of itself are divided into municipalities and townships. There are multiple classifications within this subdivision, which reflect the population and land mass of the municipality.
