Districts within Gobrassanya have their own governmental structure. Each of the 17 districts have their own constitutions, governors, legislatures, elected officials, courts, judicial system and laws.

In matters where the district constitution or statutes conflict with those of the republic then the constitution and statutes of Gobrassanya take precedent.
Districts (except, the National Capital District) are also organized into three branches of power. Executive with an elected governor, Legislative with either a bicameral or unicameral legislature and judicial branch as laid out in the constitutions of the Republic of Gobrassanya. Each district has its own capital which is the seat of government for each district. The capitals of each district are listed in the table.

Counties
Each district (with the exception of the National Capitol District) is made up of individual counties which provide a second level of administration below district control. Counties have somewhat limited autonomy under the provisions of each district. Each county has a county seat, which serves as the administrative center for each county. Each county has an elected body with a county administrator that serves as the executive head of an elected board of regents. Counties are able to enact ordinances and resolutions which serve as laws and regulations for its jurisdiction. Each county has its own judicial system which is subordinate to the district and national level judicial systems. Law enforcement duties are entrusted in an elected county sheriff who has the authority to appoint deputies to carry out law enforcement duties.

Incorporated communities include cities, towns and villages depending upon the charter by which they are incorporated. Cities are typically larger communities which have a common council and an elected mayor or councillor. Towns are typically smaller than cities and may or may not have an elected mayor or town councillor. Villages are typically the smallest of the incorporated communities and have an elected council from which a manager is appointed. Incorporated communities often have their own police departments, services and municipal courts.
Unincorporated communities are administered by the counties in which they are located and do not have their own governmental structure.
National Capital District/Gobras City
Gobras City and the National Capital District are organized somewhat differently than the other districts. The National Capital District has an appointed governor (appointed by the national houses of government) who is responsible for carrying out the duties of running the district government, as well as locally elected representatives that serve in the national houses of government. There are no counties within the district. The City of Gobras City is the only city that lies within the district and its boundaries inhabit the same area as the district. The city government is run by an elected mayor, council, and board of alders which are responsible for establishing and maintaining basic city services, local laws and ordinances, police and fire departments, parks, etc.
Gobras City is the only city in the nation that is further subdivided into wards. There are over 140 wards within the city. Each ward is represented by an elected alderperson which serves on the city board of alders and provides representation for the citizens within each ward, as well as some limited administrative tasks within their respective ward offices.
