Ostrobia is a federation of fourteen states: divided to nine primary states (Maine, Northern Ostrobia, New North Wales, Holmes, Alnet, Heblo, South Central, Haliheim, Holboken), three self determination republics (Hyenia, Prethenia, Stratoherra), two city states (National Territory, Seblo Intergrated State) and two outer Ostrobian territories (New Cambera, Heligoland)
Thirteen out of fourteen states are in the Ostrobian Mainland with one notable exception of New Cambera, which was purchased from the Scandinavians, and is located 488.48km away from Maine City.
Primary states are partially self-governing, as well being represented in the federal parliament; city territories are administered by the federal government however residents can vote for city council leaders and a state governor. Self Determination States or Republics are states with full level of autonomy with their own government and prime minister, and the Federal Government has little control of the state, but they are considered part of Ostrobia internationaly.
States are also used for the EU NUTS-2 stastical divisions
