'''Asturies-Llión''', officially the Asturllionese Federal Socialist Republic (República Federal Socialista Asturllionesa) is a country located in the Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe. It is bordered to the north by the Cantabrian Sea (Atlantic Ocean), to the west by Portugal, and to the north-west, east and south by Spain. It is a member of [[The Leftist Assembly]].
== Etymology ==
Asturies-Llión is used as an oversimplification of the name of the country, due to its recent formation. The official name is Asturllionese Federal Socialist Republic, in which "Asturllionese" comes from the [[Asturllionese language]].
Asturllionese and Asturies-Llión are the result of the conjunction of two names of different territories: [[Asturies]] and [[Llión]].

==Geography==
==Territorial Organization==
The Asturllionese FSR is divided in 4 socialist republics and an autonomous province. Republics and the Autonomous Province are divided in provinces, of which there are 12. At the same time, provinces are divided in comarcas (which can vary in name), and those in municipalities. Municipalities can be divided in even smaller units, whose name and role depends on the distribution of population and traditional uses.
===Republics and Autonomous Provinces===
The four republics are [[Asturies]], [[Cantabria]], [[Llión]] and [[Estremaúra]]. The only autonomous province is the Pisuerga Sources Autonomous Province (Fuentes del Pisuerga).
The difference between a republic and an autonomous province is the level of importance and its attributions, the autonomous province of the Pisuerga Sources depends in many aspects on Cantabria and Llión. The reason of this difference is the need of a certain level of autonomy for the province, since it is the only area in which castilian (spanish) is official, but its small size and low population is not enough for being a full republic.
The next administrative level is the province, which is contained in the republic. However, in some cases the republic only has one province, like Asturies, Cantabria and, obviously, the Pisuerga Sources, where the exclusive provincial administration is not needed.
===Provinces and Comarcas===
As stated before, provinces are the second level administrative divisions. In cases like Asturies, Cantabria and the Pisuerga Sources provinces exist, but their administration is blended with the first level one.
The list of the provinces is the following:

Comarcas are the next level, and the core of the country's organization. Comarcas are contained in their respective provinces, but they are more important in day-to-day politics, with direct representation in the Federal Assembly (the whole country's legislature) and in many other administrative bodies and agencies. There is only a cases of a coincidental province and comarca, this being El Bierzu.
===Municipalities and lower divisions===
As the whole national system relies on delegative democracy, neighbourhood councils are important, and in order to reach them in many cases lower divisions than the municipality are needed. These divisions depend on the distribution of population in the municipalities, varying from neighbourhoods in cities to direct administration of the municipality, passing through parish-like divisions.
