abstract
| - The Governorates of Alaska (Russian: губернии Аляски, gubernii Alyaski) are the top-level constituent entities of the Alaskan Democratic Federative Republic. The nation is currently comprised of 18 governorates, eight of which were established under the Russian Empire. The constitution of Alaska stipulates that each governorate is to act as sovereign entities that are subordinate to a federal government. In essence, the relationship between the governorates and the national government are akin to such systems of the United States. Since the nation's formation, federal and provincial have been constitutionally and judicially determined. Today, several of the key institutions controlled by the governorates include (but not limited to): health care, legality of cannabis, provincial languages, same-sex marriages, and Senatorial appointments.
