Counties

Each state is made up of individual counties which provide a second level of administration below state control. Counties are somewhat autonomous but do not have their own sovereignty as the states due and are subject to the governance of the state in which they reside. County government is organized into county seats which serve as the administrative centers for each county. Each county has an elected body with a county commissar that serves as the executive head of the county commission. Counties are able to enact ordinances and resolutions which serve as laws and regulations for its jurisdiction. Each county has its own judicial system which is subordinate to the state's judicial system. Law enforcement duties are entrusted in an elected county sheriff, constable, or alguacil in castellánese speaking areas, and have the authority to appoint deputies to carry out law enforcement duties.
