ELEMENTS AND
MUNICIPALITIES
As of 1 January
2016, the Kingdom of Kronenburg will be devided in four so
called Elements that can be considered as independent
nations under a common crown. The four Elements are
Kronenburg proper, the former municipality of
West-Cod,
and the former autonomous overseas provinces of the
White
Islands and the
Kronenburg Virgin Islands. Kronenburg itself has sixteen
municipalities (before 2016 there were only twelve), which
include the overseas municipality of
New-Stavoren.
The division is the result of long negotiations between
Kronenburg and its former colonies that have been on a path
towards more autonomy and now near-independence since 1992.
West-Cod, the White Islands,
and the Virgin Islands have their own respective governments. They can have their own
constitutions, they have the right to engage relations with
third parties and to conclude minor treaties. As of 2016, they
are considered to be independent states according to
international law and can therefore join international
organisations in their own right without previous consent of
the government in Alexanderstad. The king as head
of state is represented in the autonomous provinces by the
King's Governor ('Gouverneur-des-Konings' in Dutch); the
head of government was called 'chairman of the council of
ministers' before 2016; now they are known as 'prime
ministers'. Lists of respective current and former King's
Governors and chairmen of the councils of ministers can be
found on the pages of the respective Elements.
The column 'English name'
shows the current official names and formerly used names between
