Editing Patagonia (section)

== Government and administration ==
Patagonia is not a single legal province but a regional term that commonly refers to the southern Argentine provinces. Under Argentina’s federal system, political authority is exercised through provincial governments and local municipalities, within national constitutional institutions.

During the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen period, regional governance operated under the administrative and security framework of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. Local administrative bodies functioned under external command authority, with security institutions holding decisive enforcement power.
