Demesne
A demesne is a sub-national division of Natopia. The term "demesne" has been in near-continuous use to describe Natopia's subdivisions since 2005. Although originally intended to imply direct feudal subservience to the central government in Lindstrom, the autonomy granted to demesnes of Natopia have fluctuated over the years. Customs, traditions, symbols, cities, and general cultural development have been the primary domain of the demesnes. The imperial government, except in extreme circumstances, allows the demesnes to govern themselves within the limits of the Caprine Code.
