The Empire of Greater Cavagnial is composed of freely associated states, each entrusted with significant autonomy while pledging loyalty to the central government. The federal authority manages defense, empire-wide legislation, finances, and foreign relations, though states may also exercise control over these functions within their own territories.
Each state commands its own Corps, a local militia led by the state’s head, ensuring both security and civic responsibility. States are further subdivided into departments and communes, following a structure reminiscent of mainland France. While states vary in their level of autonomy from noble states to provinces or colonies they all contribute to the Empire’s collective well-being. The efforts and successes of each state are redistributed, creating benefits that extend across the nation.
The Empire encourages the establishment of new states. Prospective states should have a willing population, basic knowledge of essential survival skills, civic understanding, and a reasonable age, ideally above thirteen.

Through this structure, Cavagnial balances local self-governance with federal cohesion, ensuring both independence and unity across the Empire.
