The territory of Hapatmitas is divided into the first-level provinces (Cantuath: mòr-roinnean); provinces are further divided into the second-level municipalities (bailtean-mòra) and counties (siorrachdan), and these in turn are divided into districts (sgìrean) and townships (bailtean). The capital city of Donideann holds the simultaneous status of both province and municipality. As of 2024, there are currently 10 provinces, ~1100 municipalities, ~6200 counties, NUMBER districts, and NUMBER townships.
The current system of these subdivisions was, based on the government of local nobility by the former kings of Hapatmitas, introduced in 1964 by a series of acts following a legislative election heavily based on issues regarding local autonomy. Although the boundaries of some provinces are historically accurate, most of them are now divided based on local area.

Municipalities
Municipalities (Cantuath: bailtean-mòra) are one of the two second-level administrative divisions in Hapatmitas. As of 1 January 2024, there have been ~1100 municipalities. They are subdivisions of the first-level provinces. While all cities are municipalities, not all municipalities are cities. Municipalities are governed by a municipal council called a comhairle, or council in Jackian. Municipal councils, responsible for local legislation and administration, are headed by the mayor, who is the chief executive of the municipality. Municipalities are usually divided into districts, depending on their class. A municipality may be classed as:
- a special municipality (bailtean-mòra sònraichte). Special municipalities are not the same as other municipalities. A special municipality is subdivided into an administrative borough (borgh) before being further subdivided into a non-administrative quarter (cairteal). They are given more autonomy regarding economy and fiscal responsibilities. Municipalities that usually achieve this status have the highest populations in the country, intended for more efficient and equal local governing. Special municipalities are also entitled to use the official title of "Special Municipality" (Baile-mòr Sònraichte).
- e.g. Sturgeon. Unlike the others, Sturgeon is considered the largest special municipality, and municipality overall, in terms of land area.
- an urban municipality (bailtean-mòra bailteil). An urban municipality is the most common form of a municipality. They are usually combined with smaller, surrounding cities, neighborhoods, and other localities.
- e.g. Inchmarlo.
- a rural municipality (bailtean-mòra dùthchail). Rural municipalities are the largest in terms of land area. Despite its name, rural municipalities often house cities that have a population of around or over 150,000. They are less densely populated and thus are often in eastern provinces, including the Northern Borders, Aonghas and Lodainn and Sruighlea. Rural municipalities are combined with national parks, provincial parks, national reserve areas, and other resource or ecological regions with its boundaries.
- e.g. Banchar.
