Each of these provinces are permitted to oversee parliamentary elections within their own territory, grant titles of lesser nobility, and otherwise possess a right to self-determination. Their rulers maintain membership in the Noble Council, where they represent their province and its needs. They are also the overseers of each province's Alðingí, a regional parliamentary body which makes laws in accordance with the Great Edict and the laws passed by the Fólkeðínget.

Each provincial legislature elects a speaker, who works with the King or Grand Prince to ensure the prosperity of the realm. Furthermore, they are often stylized as the Count of the provincial capital city, where they must live for their entire term. These provincial legislatures vote every two years. They also, along with their ruling monarch, the Patriarch of Ribe, and the sitting Prime Minister, may be summoned at any time in order to deliberate on Imperial or Ecumenical decrees.

These provinces also mark the borders of Droidenian Orthodox Archbishoprics, which are overseen by an archbishop. The Archbishop is responsible for maintaining religious presence within each territory, as well as maintaining inter-faith relations with the recognized minority faiths within Droiden. Each archbishop is further a member of the Holy Synod, and has a chain of ordinance below him, allowing him to delegate religious decisions to a more local level. These archbishops maintain cathedrals within the capital city of the province they represent.

Its population of 28 million comprises more than a fifth of the total population of the empire, thus making it quite economically frightening, boasting the highest provincial GDP in the empire. Though culturally similar to the Scandinavian cultures of its neighbors, Swedish Culture is still influenced in some ways by pre-Imperial culture, one example of which is runewriting, a form of poetry and recitation thereof which originated in the pre-Christian Swedish religion. A leftover from the Syndicalist regime, Sweden is heavily dominated by industry, providing almost a third of all industrial production within Droiden. Sweden's engineering sector contributes to 50% of the nation's output and exports, with the telecommunications, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries also playing crucial roles.
	Kingdom of Finland	Espoo	Ruled by King Heikki of the House of Savolainen, Finland is situated in the Northeastern region of the empire, and has a rich history before and after its incorporation.

	Kingdom of Pomerania	Gdansk	Ruled by King Henrik of the House of Vorpommern, a cadet branch of the Kjaer Dynasty, Pomerania was incorporated into the empire upon the ascension of Eirik I, the Duke of Pomerania and nephew of then-Kongurinde Ingrid, who left the succession of the nation to him as she had no male heirs. It was a major territory within the Hanseatic Kingdom, until the incorporation of Pomerania led to the weakening of the state, allowing Eirik to fulfil his aspirations to rule all of the Hanseatic Kingdom. Culturally, the Kingdom of Pomerania is a unique blend of German and Western Slavic cultures, with influences from both in all aspects of life. The 21 million inhabitants of the Kingdom see themselves as one in the same, even through slight variations of culture. The Hanseatic language, a blend of Pomeranian dialects and Low German, is the lingua franca of the state, though state business is conducted in Droidenian.

Estonia's cultural similarities to Finland have introduced many cultural aspects to the Grand Principality, such as sauna, while the Latvian and Lithuanian cultures bring many aspects of art and architecture to the table. Economically, though recovering, the Grand Principality is still worse off economically as a result of harsh Syndicalist policies, leaving the 10 million Livonians as some of the poorest citizens. The port at Muuga maintains a large grain elevator as well as a large docking area for ships, making the city a large maritime centre. Grain production as well as some industry dominate the Livonian economy.
