=== Subdivisions ===

Cascadia is organized into a system of counties, established as the primary geographic subdivisions above towns and municipalities but below regional funding districts and the national government. These counties were introduced by the “Counties Act of March 2025,” replacing the previous borough system. They function as administrative units with specific responsibilities and limited powers, designed to facilitate cooperation among towns within their boundaries while adhering to national oversight.

These counties were introduced by the “Counties Act of March 2025,” replacing the previous borough system. They function as administrative units with specific responsibilities and limited powers, designed to facilitate cooperation among towns within their boundaries while adhering to national oversight. There are 23 counties and 1 county-level municipality in Cascadia.

Each county is governed by a County Commission, which is composed of the mayors of all towns located within the county. The commission’s primary role is to allocate any funds received from regional budgets, national government grants, or private donations. Decisions regarding funding allocation require at least 50% of mayors to participate in the vote, with a two-thirds supermajority of those votes needed for approval. County Commissions have the flexibility to determine their own procedural rules and may adopt titles such as “Board of Commissioners” or “County Council” to suit their preferences. These commissions are tasked with managing cross-town infrastructure projects and providing assistance to towns in need within their jurisdiction.
