| - The local government of the Italian Social Republic is a centralized system of territorial administrative governance, structured on two main levels: Municipality and Province, in addition to the Governorate of Rome and the Administrative Region, which has primarily intermediate coordination functions. Between these two Levels there are also two other intermediate levels (District and Mandment) which do not have administrative autonomy, as both Municipality and Province have, but are only operational sub-units of the Province; below the Municipality level, and only in major cities, there is also the Borough level, which exists in order to decentrate some Municipal functions. Administratively, the Republic is divided into 110 provinces, and each province is divided into municipalities. These are 8,209. Both the Province and the Municipality have their own government bodies, but they are subject to the surveillance of the Prefect, who acts as Government representative within the Province and for both the Province itself and all provincial municipalities. In order to keep the lower bodies in line with National policies and political will, the Prefect is empowered to watch over all administrative activities carried out by Province and Municipalities, although he can adopt and enact "prefectorial" administrative activities outside public safety and security only when required by urgent circumstances. The only exception to the double action-and-control sytstem lies within the Governorate of Rome, which is directly supervised by the Ministry of Interior, as its Governor also holds the Prefecture of the City of Rome.
