Administrative Division

After the Arrakan War, Acastanha is change from unitary into a federal country. Officially, the country divided into 3 entities, Republic of Arra, Republic of Pálidas and Capital Region. Each of the regions are divided into 5 provinces except the Capital Region which divided into 2 cities. Below the provinces are municipalities. There are 143 municipalities including the two capitals.

In 1999, there have been a petition by local authorities of several municipalities in southern Ocidental to create their own formal entity. The southern Ocidental is known as Malay ethnic majority which is the third largest ethnic group in the country. The petition hearing was on hold in the Parliament. Constant lobby was held to block the initiation although the local residents are quite biased with the situation.
