[[Nova Roma]] is divided into a number of ''[[provincia (Nova Roma)|provinciae]]'', and some ''provinciae'' are sub-divided into a number of [[Regio (Nova Roma)|'''''regiones''''']] which can in turn be subdivided into [[Civitas (Nova Roma)|'''''civitates''''']] if needed, but a ''''civitas''''' can also be a direct subdivision of a ''provincia'', though it is normally a subdivision of a ''regio''. A ''civitas'' is ideally a smaller part of a country or state, and it is usually a precursor of a ''[[Oppidum (Nova Roma)|oppidum]]''. Governors of the provinces have the power to create a ''civitas'' and to appoint or replace leaders of a ''civitas''.

In the ancient Roman Empire, ''civitas'', as a territorial subdivision, referred to an area of a tribe or smaller nation recently conquered, the romanization of which was in its intitial phase, or it was used simply to denote a smaller subdivision of a region or province. The Nova Roman usage of the term strictly follows the ancient model.

==Applications of the term==

There are two cases when creating a ''civitas'' is beneficial:
*'''1''' the governor can apply the term ''civitas'' to a territory '''within a Nova Roman ''provincia''''' where the number of active citizens and the level of "nova romanization" of its citizens has not yet achieved the level of a ''regio'': in this case ''civitas'' means a "nascent ''regio''", a nascent community;
*'''2''' or it can be used to denote a smaller community '''within a Nova Roman ''regio''''' without reference to its activity and level of development, where the community is destined to evolve into, or develop around a city-level (hence the Latin name ''civitas'') Nova Roman local community: in this case ''civitas'' may indicate a "nascent ''[[Oppidum (Nova Roma)|oppidum]]''".

==Governance==

''Civitates'' are governed by a [[Praefectus (Nova Roma)|''praefectus'']]. All ''civitas'' leaders are responsible and strictly subordinate to the provincial [[Governor (Nova Roma)|governor]] and have no ''[[imperium]]''. Lieutenant governors can not issue edicts or appoint officers, the provincial governor, however, can do it for them.

==''Civitates'' in the ''provinciae'' of Nova Roma==

There is currently only one community of Nova Roma classified as ''civitas'':
