The states and territories are the federal states and territories that make up the first administrative divisions of Australia. They are ruled by regional governments that constitute the level of governance between the federal government and local governments. States are self-governing polities that are to some extent sovereign, having ceded some sovereign rights at federation such that the total sovereign power of Australia is shared by the state and federal governments. They also have their own constitutions, legislatures, departments, and certain civil authorities that administer and deliver most public policies and programs. Territories can be autonomous and administer local policies and programs much like the states in practice, but are still legally subordinate to the federal government.
