Distinctions between the divisions
Counties
Counties form the first-level divisions of Ingerish Asperia. They are primarily responsible for local governance, including land development, taxation, and garbage disposal among other things. They are administrated by a county seat, usually the largest town. They are further divided into towns, villages, and unincorporated areas.
Governorates
Governorates are an unusual administrative division. They were formed following a national referendum, which gave major indigenous groups a semi-autonomous homeland within some provinces. They are technically still part of the province, but operate under their tribal government.
Native reserves
Native reserves are similar to governorates but do not have the same degree of autonomy. The county is still responsible for local governance.

The Tshayhamhash Governorate∈⊾ is a coastal governorate of Ingerish Asperia in Deodeca. Located in the rural west of the province, the Tshayhamhash Governorate is a major hub of native culture and representation within Ingerish Asperia. The governorate is unique in holding the status of "Governorate," meaning that it is highly autonomous within the province of Ingerish Asperia, and upholds different laws and traditions than the rest of Deodeca. Historically a separate protectorate from Deodeca and Ingerish Asperia, the governorate was annexed with rights by Ingerish Asperia on the eve of the Great War at the behest of the tribal leadership, fearing that foreign powers would intervene in the region. The governorate is the remnants of a once-vast tribal nation, stretching from Ironwood Bay to Squangit County in the east. Tshayhamhash holds many of the tribe's sacred spaces, and over time became a refuge for both local and foreign native peoples, acting as a pseudo-reservation. The county seat is the town of Qha’chshč Sčhayaxw / Q̕áʔc̕ɬč Sč̕ə́yəxʷ (known in Ingerish as Ironwood Bay), with a population of around (TBD) people. Other towns and settlements include Q̕shumačan/Q̕ɬúməčən (Blackfish), Pipihaqh/Pipíhəq̕ (Nighthawk), Čx̣ayčačshč/Čx̣ayčáčɬč, Qaqan Skhwtu'/Qáqən Sk̕ʷtúʔ (Ravenmast), and Yanawas/Yə́nəwəs (Heart).
