In the Kingdom of Superior, administrative divisions refer to the 16 states that make up the nation. Superior, like other Anglo-American nations, is a federation of sub-national entities who owe allegiance to the federal government.

The Constitution of Superior describes the powers and functions of both states and territories. States act as subnational entities and are entitled to a set of powers escribed in the Constitution. States can form local governments, regulate interstate commerce, run elections, and ratify constitutional amendments. Each state has its own constitution, which must be aligned with the federal constitution. Each states' constitution is grounded in the principles of Anglo-American federalism. Each state government consists of an executive, legislative, and judicial branch identical to the branches of the federal government, though with notable differences such as state and territorial governments not following the Westminster parliamentary system, with their executive and legislative branches being entirely separate. The head of state in a state is the Governor, who by law is elected by the people of their state via direct popular vote. Each state is entitled to representation in both chambers of the Parliament of Superior. Each state is represented by three high councillors, while delegates are distributed among the states proportion to the most recent constitutionally-mandated national census. As of 2020, the state of Minnesota has the largest delegation to the House of Delegates, while Wyoming, Montana, and Helena have the smallest.

When compared to states, territories have considerably less autonomy in their governmental proceedings. Territories, like states, act as subnational entities. However, unlike states, territories are subject to federal rule, with no permanent constitution in place. Though entitled to conduct their own proceedings and maintain a local government, the federal government may impose any law that can supersede local laws, disband and resemble local governments, and represent territories in interstate, and in rare cases international, affairs. Like the federal government, the executive and legislative branches of a territorial government are intertwined, with members of the executive branch, including the territorial governor, being selected from the territorial legislature. From 1869 to 1901, territorial governors were nominated by the President, confirmed by the High Council, and appointed by the Monarch, similar to cabinet members and federal judges. Territories are entitled to one high councilor and one delegate, regardless of population. Territories are able to become states through an act of Parliament.

The powers and functions of both states and territories are detailed in Articles IV and V of the Constitution of Superior. Like most of the constitution, the articles were inspired by both the Sierran and United States constitutions. Article IV describes the definition of administrative divisions in Superior, the structures of both the governments of states and territories, and the entitled representation of states and territories in Parliament. Article V describes the powers and functions of both territorial and state governments, and highlights the supremacy of federal law over both state and territorial law. The 10th Amendment to the Constitution re-organizes the structure of territories in Superior, allowing more autonomy in the proceedings of a territory's local government.
