Politics
Oriana's government functions as a Unitary semi-presidential republic.
Oriana is subdivided into 8 Provinces (Ёоблац / Yoblats) which are all run by 3-member councils, with 1 member of the council being "Premier" of said municipality. de-facto however, they are usually census areas/run by a single elected/appointed premier. To date, the only elected premier had been Ian B, who was elected premier of Siarhrod in the Feburary 2024 elections. After the Provincial Reforms in March of 2024, he became Premier of Livanya Province.
Each province usually consists of several "Communities" which operate under a direct-democratic system for local decision-making, while relying on local Provincial services and elections. Communities are usually granted a Flag and Coat of Arms from the central government.
Some municipalities operate under a special/unique status. Panale and Galina are divided into several "Districts" with no political power. These districts serve as statistical regions.
