Qennes

First level
The first level of the subdivisions are the provinces (Qennesan: Provință), also known as the historical regions (Qennesan: Reḑion Historikal). There are 4 of them in total. They mostly follow the cultural borders, where each province has a unique cultural and ethnic group.

Second level
The second level of the subdivisions are the municipalities (Qennesan: Munițipiu). They include 2 or more towns or cities with adjacent villages and hamlets. Unlike the provinces, municipalities roughly follow the population diversities of the country. The municipalities culturally vary between each other, for example the urban and densely populated Erez municipality compared to the vastly rural and sparsely populated Daroț municipality.

Third level
The third level of the subdivisions are the communes (Qennesan: Koņoța). Each locality with a title of a city (Pol), town (Pol) or village (Săț) has its own commune, encompassing surrounding hamlets (if a village), villages and hamlets (if a town) or suburbs (if a city). There are also 3 types of communes: urban, semi-rural and rural.

Fourth level
The fourth level of the subdivisions are the localities (Qennesan: Komiiasă). Each locality has its own defined borders, with rare examples of two localities located under one border, often due to proximity between them. Depending on the population and size, a locality is given a type of locality (city, town, village, suburb, hamlet), which also can depend on its location compared to regional centers. Localities are the lowest type of subdividing everywhere except the cities.

Fifth level
The fifth level of the subdivisions are the final type of subdividing, although not the lowest everywhere as they can be only found within cities. They are called neighborhoods (Qennesan: Karțîer).

Flag & CoA


The flag is composed of 3 stripes (Purple - White - Purple), with the coat of arms (without the eagles) in the centre. The original flag used since the 12th century didn't have the coat of arms. The change was implemented in 1988. The purple is the national color of Qennes, and was used to represent the Nobility, while the white represented the Peasantry. Another two symbolisms are:
 * the white represents the River Kaneș, with the noble Qennesan soil on it's sides.
 * the white represents the soil of Qennes in between two bodies of water (Upper - Terdau Lake; Lower - Iviran Sea).

The Coat of Arms is composed of a shield, a crown, and two black eagles 'protecting' the historical Qennesan lands represented on the shield with their modern-day flags (historical ones were different). Those flags are (clockwise from top left):
 * Tîrdau - Rumînaș (Nowadays Tîrdau) - The region in the northwest of Qennes, on the Terdau Lake. The flag is closely related to it's Antharian neighbor - Quartia. The shield in the middle is the identical one to the one of Quartia, representing the cultural similarity between the two provinces. The flag has a checkerboard pattern as the background, similar to the Quartian one. The only difference is that Tîrdau uses the murrey color instead of red, possibly to represent that it's part of Qennes, whose national colors are purple, murrey and gold.
 * Lipămontală - The central region of Qennes. It's a white-bordered murrey-colored stripe on top of a gold background. The murrey represents the nobility and the unity of Qennes, as well as the Kaneș River flowing thru the farmlands and land rich in natural resources, represented by the gold. The white part has unknown reasons of appearance.
 * Feredetî - The southeast region of Qennes. The flag is inspired by the flag of Egani, with the blue shades replaced by purple shades. The four squares have two meaning: The four regions of the modern-day province (Malvertta, Este - Klavopoli, Upper Feredetî (Sentares - Kastelnău), and the Silver Valley. The second one is representing the historical regions of the area. The city of Malvertta, The Upper Regions (Kastelnău - Sentares - Silver Valley), The Coast of Masetna and Crab Coast (Niskavo - Klavopoli).
 * Erez - The southwest province of Qennes. The lion is the historical symbol of the region, while the purple represents the Qennesan unity.

The shield includes another shield within itself, which represents United Qennes and it's Nobility Class symbolized by the fleur-de-lis. Above the main shield is the Qennesan Crown, worn by the ruling archduke or archduchess of Qennes. It represents the nobility. The two black eagles (Ictinaetus malaiensis) are the national animal of Qennes. They are positioned on the sides of the shield. Their legs are in front of the shield, 'blocking outsiders' entrance to Qennes'.
