[[File:Republics of the United Commonwealth.svg|thumb|The four main division of the United Commonwealth]]
The [[United Commonwealth|United Commonwealth of Continental States]] is a {{w|Federal republic|federal}} {{w|Socialist state|socialist republic}} consisting of three [[Continental Republic|Continental Republics]] and one [[Ontario|autonomous region]]. There are five constitutionally recognized levels of government; the republic-level (continental republics and autonomous regions), the provincial, county, township, and village. Continental republics are subdivided at their own discretion, most commonly being divided into states. 

According to the [[Constitution of the United Commonwealth]], a continental republic is a sovereign continental socialist state united with other republics in the United Commonwealth, and that "the sovereign rights of Continental Republics shall be safeguarded". As per numerous decisions of the [[United Commonwealth Supreme Court]], the republic-level divisions are sovereign jurisdictions, and the Constitution allows these divisions to exercise all powers of government not delegated to the federal government. Each state has its own constitution, grounded in {{w|Marxism|Marxist}}-[[Landonism|Landonism]], as well as legislative, executive, and judicial authority over a defined geographic territory. All continental republics and their residents are represented in the [[National People's Congress]], a {{w|bicameral}} legislature consisting of the [[Senate of the Union]] and the [[House of the Republics]].

==List of divisions==

===Republic level (1st)===

The United Commonwealth administers four republic-level divisions, also known as first-level divisions, which includes three continental republics and one autonomous region. Additionally, there is also one officially claimed republic-level division corresponding to the [[Antilles]]. Continental republics are governed by their respective congresses, known collectively as the Congresses of the Republics, and each of Congress elects governmental bodies that parallel the federal government in structure. This includes a regional Central Committee, which acts as the highest legislative body in the republic when the Congress is not in session, a Council of Ministers which heads the government, and a High Court. The Congresses of the Republics also elects members of the [[House of the Republics]], one of two branches of the [[National People's Congress]]. 

Republic-level divisions are subdivided at their own discretion, but the majority of continental republics consist of several states, which are then further subdivided into counties, towns, and municipalities. Often included among the republic-level divisions is land federally administered, and therefore not a part of any continental republic.
