.
An Imvrassian Hegemony has two categories as an administrative division. The first is an autonomous monarchical state within the Empire, usually a former imperial state or a Kingdom and has its own monarch with the title of Sebastokrator or Megas Archon / Lord Paramount. The second is an appanage for a cadet branch of the imperial House and its purpose has to maintain the participation of younger members of the Ηouse in the administration of areas under their jurisdiction.
A Hegemony has full inner workings of government and administrative issues, though united by allegiance to the Crown.
The Hegemon has the right to be the head of his own dynasty and to create and give titles to his relatives, to his officials and to his nobles.
The administrative division of the Hegemony follows the local political tradition and furthermore the Hegemon is the head of the government of his domain or he can appoint his assistant and deputy official the Topoteretes who can be the Diadochos or a citizen who has the title of Sebastos or Protosebastos and run the Hegemony's government.
The official style of a Hegemon is His/Her Royal Highness Sebastokrator/Sebastokrateira (name), Hegemon of (name of the Hegemony) or His/Her Grace the Megas Archon (name), Hegemon of (name of the Hegemony) or His/Her Grace (name), the Lord Paramount of (name of the Hegemony). The title of Hegemon as a monarch comes immediately after that of a Co-Emperor, but isn't considered superior to the title of Caesar because the latter belongs to the Heir to the Throne.
Also the Heir of the Hegemony has the title of Diadochos.
