Chapter 3: Details on the organization of the Commons' Convention -part 1-
In the previous section, we discussed the complete equality of the General Commons' Convention and local Commons' Convention, but if we look at the relationship between the two in more detail, there are two types of relationship. One is the federated type, and the other is the unitary type.
The first type, the federal type, corresponds to a federal system in the current state system, in which multiple inclusive Quasi-Zones (Zonelets) are federated to form a single Zone. In this case, each Zonelet has a considerably wide range of autonomy similar to that of a Zone, and the Commons' Convention of a Zonelet is the most powerful local Commons' Convention.
In contrast, in the latter unitary type, a Zone is more integrated, there are no Zonelets, and the broader autonomous entity within a Zone is a Province. Although the provincial Commons' Conventions can also have their own charters, they do not have as broad autonomy as the Zonelets in the federal Zone, and the authority of the General Commons' Convention is relatively strong.
By the way, although the unitary type is the basis, in order to respect the ethnic and cultural uniqueness of a specific Provincial Area, it is possible to establish a system such as a Special Province that guarantees stronger autonomy than general Provinces.
In the system of Commons' Conventions, since the General Commons' Convention and local Commons' Convention are on an equal footing, the difference between federal and unitary types is not as great as the difference between federal and centralized states in the current state system, and the difference is relative; there is no such thing as a "centralized type."
In addition, whether each Zone chooses the federal or unitary type, and whether or not to establish the Special Provinces mentioned above, is left to the discussion and decision of the Commons' Convention of each Zone. The same applies to the powers to be granted to the Zonelets in the federal Zone, and to the authority relationship of municipal entities within Zonelets in the federal Zone and in the unitary Zone.
