 States Territories



The United States of North Aegea comprise a supranational Federal  republican  Union  composed of eighteen self-governing sovereign member States. The Government of the United States does not possess sovereignty, but it does have authority to exercise an specific set of sovereign Powers. Rather its Authority and existence are the result of the several States pooling their collective sovereignty on certain, specific and expressly enumerated Matters, and on those Matters the several States govern themselves jointly (through their common/general, or Federal, government), each State to itself as to them severally, and delegating legislative, executive, and judicial Powers to this common/general, that is to say Federal, government of the several States, just enough for the several States, acting through their Federal Government, to effectively carry out the Fœderal functions of the Union, and [horizontally] separating those Powers into three, distinct departments: Delegated Powers of a legislative nature are vested in a bicameral Federal Legislature in the name and form of a Congress of the United States, composed of a State-appointed upper house  styled Senate , and a lower house  styled <span style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;">House of Representatives  that is composed of a number of Delegates from each State, chosen by the People thereof; delegated Powers of an executive Nature are vested in a <span style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;">Governor-General of the United States ; and those delegated Powers, being judicial in Form, are vested in a <span style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;">Federal Court of the United States  and in the <span style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;">Courts of each State.

<p style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;text-Align:justify;">All Matters not expressly delegated to the Union Government (the several States acting in their Fœderal capacity) remain exclusively with the States, respectively (in their individual and separate capacity).

<p style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;text-Align:justify;">In addition to the eighteen States, there are five <span style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;">Territories that are essentially <span style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;">dependencies  of the <span style="font-family:HoeflerText, 'Hoefler Text', 'Menlo', 'Times New Roman', serif;">Federal Government.
