The United Governance Act 2022 was a landmark Act of Congress that granted the Congress of the State and Territories of the Arstotzkan Union stronger authority in regard to territorial and state matters, relieving much of the power from the Federal Government. It is the first ever act of congress created outside of the Federal Government and by a territorial entity.

Following the dissolving of the Arstotzkan Union Proper, the Government of the Union did not know how it would continue to function and neither did the Federal Government. On 5 January 2023, the First President convened the Executive Committee to reform the Territories. On 11 January 2023, the Land and Territories Act 2023 was passed and it united the Territories into 4 states dependent on their geographic location.

The Act also dissolved the powers of the Government of the Union and its entities and reformed the House of Representatives to be made up of the elected state representatives.
