Maricopa is a province of Talossa. What with us bumped up against the gentle flow of the river (see map), here in Maricopa, we boast of having the best climate in the Kingdom. A visit to our fair province will convince you too: the weather is nicer in Maricopa than anywhere else in Talossa. We don't want to make the other provinces feel bad or anything, but one can't argue with Mother Nature, and she has blessed Maricopa. Except when it rains or snows or something, but at least when it doesn't, we get some pretty good weather here. You really should come see.

Provincial Governance

Constables | Cunstavais

At the recommendation of the Prime Minister, the King appoints a Cunstaval (Constable) for each province, who serves as Head of State for the province, holding powers akin to the King on the national level, except that the Cunstaval cannot dissolve parliament.

Premiers | Premieirs

Each parliamentary assembly elects a Premier, who serves as Head of Government for the province, and administers the laws of the province. Each province refers to its Premier by a name of its own choice.

Assemblies | Aßemblatschti

Each of Talossa's provinces has its own single-chamber parliament. The name used to identify each provincial parliament is determined by each individual Province. The number of seats in each provincial assembly varies and can be set by provincial law. Seats in the assembly are assigned by leaders of the political parties in proportion to the votes cast for that party. As a result of the most recent election, seats were assigned thus: "Maricopans serve in the Cabana by simple non-partisan request, each holding a single seat"
