West Galicia (Twilight of a New Era)

West Galicia (Galicja Zachodnia) was a federal state of Austria-Hungary.

Government
West Galicia was a parliamentary representative democratic state, with a Minister-President as the head of government, and a State Governor (Gubernator) as head of state. Executive power was exercised by the governments, both local and state level. State legislative power was vested in both the government and the unicameral parliament (Seym).

The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.

Administrative division
West Galicia was subdivided administratively into counties (powiats), and these in turn are divided into communes (gminas). Krakow had status of both gmina and powiat.
