The States of Rhayna (Aegean: Κράτη της Ράινα) or States of UPRAN (Aegean: Κράτη της ΗΕΡΑΝ) are the most important divisions of the United Provinces. Currently, the country is divided into three states.

As an administrative division, each state serves mainly as the area of jurisdiction of a state prytanis, who serves some administrative powers given to the states by the Constitution of 1965.

Overview

The States of Rhayna were established in the Constitution of 1965 after the end of the Rhaynan Civil War, as a way of providing a comfortable quantity of freedom to the three regions in the union, which had been in a devastating war between them just recently. This also helped to manage more efficiently the territory.
