State (United Empire of Earth)

A state is a non-sovereign political organization within the United Empire of Earth (UEE), usually referring to centralized governing bodies within unified territories. States on Human colony worlds are typically formed around settlements or other developed areas. States maintain a variety of local types of governments which manage their local affairs within their place in planetary governments and the UEE as a whole. On worlds with UEE senatorial representation, states are managed by a Governor and a hundred Representatives.
