UIA Federal Government
The United Islands of Alto (UIA) federal government provides territory-wide governance, legislation, and public services across all islands, cities, and communities. The federal government is headquartered in the District of Castleton, the designated federal capital.
Branches of Government
Legislative
The UIA Parliament is the legislative body of the United Islands, responsible for enacting federal laws, approving the national budget, and providing oversight of federal agencies.
Executive
Federal agencies carry out the laws and policies enacted by Parliament. These agencies operate independently from city and local governments.

Federal vs. City Government
The UIA federal government sets territory-wide policy, while the City of Alto and other local governments administer municipal services like policing, fire protection, water, and local roads. Some functions — such as highways, education standards, and postal service — are managed at the federal level.
