Fortressian Administrative Divisions

For the purpose of efficient and effective governance, the Principality's territory is divided and subdivided into various administrative divisions.

Organized Administrative Divisions

Organized administrative divisions are those that have been fully incorporated into the Pillow Fortress in what is intended to be their final form. Currently there is only one first level organized administrative division, the province, with all others being levels of further subdivision. The organized administrative divisions are:

• Province
  • Canton
    • Municipality
      • Prefecture
        • District
    • Township
      • District

Unorganized Administrative Divisions

Unorganized administrative divisions are temporary arrangements in place to serve a larger political goal, be it the territory's eventual full incorporation into the Principality as one or more organized administrative divisions, or some other end. The unorganized territorial divisions are:

• Colony
• Occupancy
  • Autonomy

Special Purpose Non-Legal Administrative Divisions

Special purpose non-legal administrative divisions are administrative divisions created by different government agencies to aid in their organization and operation. As the name suggests, such administrative divisions have no legal authority in and of themselves, and can be created, modified, and disposed of arbitrarily by the agency that uses them. Special purpose non-legal administrative divisions are:

• Region
  • Zone

Realms of the Honor Map

The Honor Map is a ceremonial map of the Pillow Fortress which serves as a mechanism for the granting of certain titles of Fortressian Nobility. The administrative divisions added to the map, known as Realms, lack any legal function outside the framework of honors and noble titles. Realms of the Honor Map are:

• Grand Duchy
  • Dukedom
    • County
      • Barony

States and Other Entities in Permanent Union With the Pillow Fortress

The Principality reserves the right to enter into certain treaties with other states and certain non-state entities whereby the Pillow Fortress takes responsibility for their defense and foreign relations while granting them a high degree of internal autonomy. Though they are not territories of the Principality, they are also not independent of it, and so are included here as administrative divisions:

• Client Non-State Entity
• Client State

Administrative Divisions of the Libertine Party

The Libertine Party has its own system of administrative divisions it uses for internal organization. As the Party is a non-governmental entity, these are legally very similar to the special purpose non-legal administrative divisions, and are included here for convenience:

• State
  • Chapteriat
    • Riding
