The [[Monsilvan Republic]], being a federal state, consists of 14 individual political entities known as '''states''' ([[Monsilvan language|Monsilvan]]: '''''州''''', [[Pinyin]]: '''''Zhōu'''''). Each state holds governmental juristiction over a specific geographic territory of Monsilva where it shares sovereignty with the [[Federal government of Monsilva|federal government]]. Federalism was an important aspect that was discussed by the [[Provisional government of Monsilva (1978)|provisional government]] when the [[Monsilvan Republic]] was being refounded after the [[1978 Monsilvan protests|Mass Protests]] in 1978. According to [[Federal government of Monsilva|federal government]], some topics, such as foreign affairs and defence, are the exclusive responsibility of the federation (i.e., the federal level), while others fall under the shared authority of the states and the federation. The states retain residual or exclusive legislative authority for all other areas, including "culture", which in [[Monsilva]] includes not only topics such as the financial promotion of arts and sciences, but also most forms of education and job training (see [[Education in Monsilva]]). Though international relations including international treaties are primarily the responsibility of the federal level, the constituent states have certain limited powers in this area: in matters that affect them directly, the states defend their interests at the federal level through the [[Senate of Monsilva|Senate]] (''參議院''), and in areas where they have the legislative authority they have limited powers to conclude international treaties "with the consent of the federal government".

Every Monsilvan state has its own state government whose members are elected by citizens who reside within the state during the Monsilvan local elections. The last Monsilvan local election was in May 2022. During these elections, it is not uncommon for the opposition party in the [[Legislative Assembly of Monsilva|Legislative Assembly]] (''立法議會'') to hold the majority of the local seats, even though it has a minority in the [[Parliament of Monsilva|federal parliament]]. States possess many powers and rights granted by the [[Federal government of Monsilva|federal government]]. States and their citizens are represented in the [[Parliament of Monsilva]], a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the Legislative Assembly. States are divided into districts which are represented by a single senator in the Senate, these districts can be divided into counties which are represented by a single member of the Legislative Assembly.
+
The [[Shaoyu|Free State of Shaoyu]] is the only outlier state in the federation. Unlike Monsilva's other 14 states, Shaoyu has far more power over matters that involve them, such as the ability of the executive government of Shaoyu is permitted to represent the state internationally without permission from the federal government. Shaoyu is also the only state permitted to lawfully pass legislation that goes against federal law, for example, in a hypothetical scenario where the Monsilvan government declares mandatory conscription, the Shaoyunese government is permitted to pass legislation prohibiting residents of the state from being conscripted.

Historically, the tasks of local law enforcement, [[Education in Monsilva|education]], [[Healthcare in Monsilva|healthcare]], and local [[Transportation in Monsilva|transportation]] and infrastructure, have generally been considered primarily state responsibilities, although all of these now have significant federal funding and regulation as well. The [[Federal Constitution for the Monsilvan Republic|constitution of Monsilva]] allows for frequent alterations which have changed the powers of states occasionally since it was written in 1983. The constitution of Monsilva does currently permit the incorporation or establishment of new states, but this power has not been used since August 1984, when the state of [[Wuzhong]] was established; the last state to be established during the [[National Re-organization (Monsilva)|national re-organization]].

Every Monsilvan state has its own state parliament whose members are elected by citizens who reside within the state during Monsilvan state elections. The last Monsilvan state elections were in May 2023. States possess many powers and rights granted by the [[Federal government of Monsilva|federal government]]. States and their citizens are represented in the [[Parliament of Monsilva]], a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the Legislative Assembly. States are divided into districts which are represented by a single senator in the Senate, and are also divided into legislative constituencies which are represented by a single member of the assembly (MLA) in the Legislative Assembly.

Historically, the tasks of local law enforcement, [[Education in Monsilva|education]], [[Healthcare in Monsilva|healthcare]], and local [[Transportation in Monsilva|transportation]] and infrastructure, have generally been considered primarily state responsibilities, although all of these now have significant federal funding and regulation as well. The [[Federal Constitution for the Monsilvan Republic|constitution of Monsilva]] allows for frequent alterations which have changed the powers of states occasionally since it was written in 1983. The constitution does allow the admission of new states, and this power was last used in 2024 for the state of [[Shaoyu]]. Before this, the power had not been used since 1984 to admit [[Wuzhong]] during the [[national re-organization]].

Monsilva had been a unitary state since its first establishment in 1830 as the [[Kingdom of Monsilva]] until 1978. During the establishement of the Monsilvan Republic, the creation of states was a topic that had been discussed frequently, but without a real answer on where to put them and what powers they should be granted. The administrative divisions of Monsilva remained undetermined until the writing of the [[Federal Constitution for the Monsilvan Republic|constitution of Monsilva]] in 1983, when the first 10 states were determined. During the [[National Re-organization (Monsilva)|national re-organization]], this number was increased to 14 with the establishement of the states of Luhai, Wuzhong, Amking and Donguan.

The Monsilvan use of the term ''州 <small>(Zhōu)</small>'' ("states") dates back to the establishment of the [[Kingdom of Monsilva]] back in 1830. The term was only used as a distinction of different areas of the country, as the states had no individual power until the [[Monsilvan Republic]]. Before this, under the [[Kingdom of Great Shan]], the country was split into ''領土 <small>(Lǐngtǔ)</small>'' ("territories"), which were administrated directly by the Emperor and their government.

==History==

[[File:1978 states of Monsilva.png|thumb|right|States of Monsilva in 1978, just after the establishment of the Monsilvan Republic]]
 +
Federalism is a new concept within Monsilvan history. The [[Kingdom of Great Shan]] consisted of 'territories' but these were not federated as they held no individual power. After the [[Monsilvan Civil War]] in the [[Kingdom of Monsilva]], federalism was a frequently discussed topic, but the government never approved any laws relating to devolution, let alone federalism.
 +
 
 +
The boundaries were rewritten in 1978, after the [[1978 Monsilvan protests|1978 mass protests]] and the collapse of the Kingdom of Monsilva. However, the new states were not made into actual entities until the writing of the [[Federal Constitution for the Monsilvan Republic|constitution of Monsilva]] in 1983. Monsilva has had 15 states since 2024, with the addition of [[Shaoyu]].
 +
 
 +
===States===
 +
Monsilva had been a unitary state since its first establishment in 1830 as the [[Kingdom of Monsilva]] until 1978. During the establishement of the Monsilvan Republic, the creation of states was a topic that had been discussed frequently, but without a real answer on where to put them and what powers they should be granted. The administrative divisions of Monsilva remained undetermined until the writing of the [[Federal Constitution for the Monsilvan Republic|constitution of Monsilva]] in 1983, when the first 10 states were determined. During the [[National Re-organization (Monsilva)|national re-organization]], this number was increased to 14 with the division of [[Guangsu]] into [[Weishi]] and [[Wuzhong]]; [[Beining]] into [[Leibo]], [[Luhai (state)|Luhai]] and a northern part of [[Meixian]]; [[Huaking]] into [[Huachang]] and part of [[Amking]]; and [[Lionglin]] into the other part of [[Amking]], [[Donguan]] and [[Zaixian]]. In 2024, [[Shaoyu]] was added as Monsilva's fifteenth state.
 +
 
 +
The use of the term 州 <small>(Zhōu)</small> ("states") dates back to 1953, when prime minister [[Liang Huiqing]] introduced states as divisions which were groups of already existing counties, which had been established in 1830 after the [[Monsilvan Civil War]]. The term was only used as a distinction of different areas of the country, as the states had no individual power until the [[Monsilvan Republic]]. Similar to states, under the [[Kingdom of Great Shan]], the country was split into 领土 <small>(Lǐngtǔ)</small> ("territories"), which were administrated directly by the Emperor and their government.
 +
 
 +
===Counties===
 +
Although Monsilva still has counties today, that had a different meaning before 1978. After 1830 and before 1953, counties were the largest subdivisions of Monsilva and had their own local governments. These local governments had very limited power, and the national government could override any decisions made by the local governments. Counties were often used in sports as teams and players would become champions of thier county and then proceed to national competitions. In 1953, when the ''Zhōu'' were introduced, counties lost a lot of their importance, as their local governments were disbanded and sports became state-based rather than county-based.
 +
 
 +
Modern counties, since 1978, are the main subdivision of states (excluding districts which are only used in senate elections). The county boundaries have been redrawn many times as the [[Legislative Assembly of Monsilva]] grows in size. The latest change was in March 2023, when the Legislative Assembly passed the [[Legislative Reform Act 2023 (Monsilva)|Legislative Reform Act 2023]], which redraw Monsilva's counties' boundaries. Although this did not change the number of counties. In 2024, the total number of counties was increased due to the admission of [[Shaoyu]], however counties on the mainland remained the same.

Federalism is a new concept within Monsilvan history. The [[Kingdom of Great Shan]] consisted of 'territories' but these were not federated as they held no individual power. After the [[Monsilvan Civil War]] in the [[Kingdom of Monsilva]], federalism was a frequently discussed topic, but the government never approved any laws relating to devolution, let alone federalism.

−
The boundaries were rewritten in 1978, after the [[1978 Monsilvan protests|1978 Mass Protests]] and the collapse of the Kingdom of Monsilva. However, the new states were not made into actual entities until the writing of the [[Federal Constitution for the Monsilvan Republic|constitution of Monsilva]] in 1983. Monsilva has had its same 14 states since 1984 with [[Wuzhong]] the last to be established.

Every county is represented in the [[Legislative Assembly of Monsilva]] by one representative who is elected during General Elections. Every political party or independent will have one candidate appear on the ballot paper for a county and whichever one gains the largest percentage of votes will be elected as the representative for the county in the assembly.

The Monsilvan Republic, being a federal state, consists of 15 individual political entities known as states (Monsilvan: 州, Pinyin: Zhōu). Each state holds governmental juristiction over a specific geographic territory of Monsilva where it shares sovereignty with the federal government. Federalism was an important aspect that was discussed by the provisional government when the Monsilvan Republic was being founded after the mass protests in 1978. According to federal government, some topics, such as foreign affairs and defence, are the exclusive responsibility of the federation (i.e., the federal level), while others fall under the shared authority of the states and the federation. The states retain residual or exclusive legislative authority for all other areas, including "culture", which in Monsilva includes not only topics such as the financial promotion of arts and sciences, but also most forms of education and job training (see Education in Monsilva). Though international relations including international treaties are primarily the responsibility of the federal level, the constituent states have certain limited powers in this area: in matters that affect them directly, and in areas where they have the legislative authority they have limited powers to conclude international treaties "with the consent of the federal government".

The Free State of Shaoyu is the only outlier state in the federation. Unlike Monsilva's other 14 states, Shaoyu has far more power over matters that involve them, such as the ability of the executive government of Shaoyu is permitted to represent the state internationally without permission from the federal government. Shaoyu is also the only state permitted to lawfully pass legislation that goes against federal law, for example, in a hypothetical scenario where the Monsilvan government declares mandatory conscription, the Shaoyunese government is permitted to pass legislation prohibiting residents of the state from being conscripted.

Every Monsilvan state has its own state parliament whose members are elected by citizens who reside within the state during Monsilvan state elections. The last Monsilvan state elections were in May 2023. States possess many powers and rights granted by the federal government. States and their citizens are represented in the Parliament of Monsilva, a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the Legislative Assembly. States are divided into districts which are represented by a single senator in the Senate, and are also divided into legislative constituencies which are represented by a single member of the assembly (MLA) in the Legislative Assembly.

Historically, the tasks of local law enforcement, education, healthcare, and local transportation and infrastructure, have generally been considered primarily state responsibilities, although all of these now have significant federal funding and regulation as well. The constitution of Monsilva allows for frequent alterations which have changed the powers of states occasionally since it was written in 1983. The constitution does allow the admission of new states, and this power was last used in 2024 for the state of Shaoyu. Before this, the power had not been used since 1984 to admit Wuzhong during the national re-organization.

History

States of Monsilva in 1978, just after the establishment of the Monsilvan Republic

Federalism is a new concept within Monsilvan history. The Kingdom of Great Shan consisted of 'territories' but these were not federated as they held no individual power. After the Monsilvan Civil War in the Kingdom of Monsilva, federalism was a frequently discussed topic, but the government never approved any laws relating to devolution, let alone federalism.

The boundaries were rewritten in 1978, after the 1978 mass protests and the collapse of the Kingdom of Monsilva. However, the new states were not made into actual entities until the writing of the constitution of Monsilva in 1983. Monsilva has had 15 states since 2024, with the addition of Shaoyu.

States

Monsilva had been a unitary state since its first establishment in 1830 as the Kingdom of Monsilva until 1978. During the establishement of the Monsilvan Republic, the creation of states was a topic that had been discussed frequently, but without a real answer on where to put them and what powers they should be granted. The administrative divisions of Monsilva remained undetermined until the writing of the constitution of Monsilva in 1983, when the first 10 states were determined. During the national re-organization, this number was increased to 14 with the division of Guangsu into Weishi and Wuzhong; Beining into Leibo, Luhai and a northern part of Meixian; Huaking into Huachang and part of Amking; and Lionglin into the other part of Amking, Donguan and Zaixian. In 2024, Shaoyu was added as Monsilva's fifteenth state.

The use of the term 州 (Zhōu) ("states") dates back to 1953, when prime minister Liang Huiqing introduced states as divisions which were groups of already existing counties, which had been established in 1830 after the Monsilvan Civil War. The term was only used as a distinction of different areas of the country, as the states had no individual power until the Monsilvan Republic. Similar to states, under the Kingdom of Great Shan, the country was split into 领土 (Lǐngtǔ) ("territories"), which were administrated directly by the Emperor and their government.

Counties

Although Monsilva still has counties today, that had a different meaning before 1978. After 1830 and before 1953, counties were the largest subdivisions of Monsilva and had their own local governments. These local governments had very limited power, and the national government could override any decisions made by the local governments. Counties were often used in sports as teams and players would become champions of thier county and then proceed to national competitions. In 1953, when the Zhōu were introduced, counties lost a lot of their importance, as their local governments were disbanded and sports became state-based rather than county-based.

Modern counties, since 1978, are the main subdivision of states (excluding districts which are only used in senate elections). The county boundaries have been redrawn many times as the Legislative Assembly of Monsilva grows in size. The latest change was in March 2023, when the Legislative Assembly passed the Legislative Reform Act 2023, which redraw Monsilva's counties' boundaries. Although this did not change the number of counties. In 2024, the total number of counties was increased due to the admission of Shaoyu, however counties on the mainland remained the same.

Politics

Monsilva is a federal parliamentary republic. The Monsilvan poltical system is determined by the constitution of Monsilva, any changes to which must gain the support of both the Legislative Assembly and the Senate in order to be passed. The constitution is edited very frequently and is therefore officially considered incomplete, however it is still vital in representing Monsilva's politics.

Government

The federal constitution stipulates that the structure of each Federated State's government must "conform to the principles of democracy, transparency and law". All states consist of a unicameral State Parliament, with a Premier as the head of the government, the head of state for every state is the President of Monsilva. Each state is divided into multiple districts which are represented by senators in the Senate of Monsilva. These districts are split into counties, and then again into municipalities. Members of a state parliament are elected via state elections, where citizens living in a municipality will vote for a candidate to represent their municipality in the state parliament. Whichever party has the most seats, or has formed a coalition with another party to form the most, will then place its party leader for that state as the Premier. Every state is also divided into legislative constituencies, which are each represented by one member of the Legislative Assembly.

Subdivisions

Districts

The largest subdivision of the states are districts (区; Qū). These districts are rarely used outside of Senate elections, where each district is represented by one senator in the Senate and voting citizens living in a district will vote for a senator to represent them.

Monsilva currently has a total of 85 districts.
