Abstract
Territorial autonomy is an arrangement under which regions are granted extensive self- government and can take various forms depending on the policies devolved from a central to a regional administration. National identity is often at the forefront of efforts to establish territorial autonomy. This research takes a mixed methods approach to examining the effects of regional autonomy on local policy and national identity, using Quebec and the Basque Country as case studies. This paper analyzes linguistic and social legislation, political party platforms, and survey data on national identity from the two regions between 2018 and 2022 to assess the implications of policy devolution on patterns of identity. This research finds that expanded regional autonomy does not correspond with a greater share of the population expressing a primarily regional identity. These findings suggest that policymakers should prioritize clearly articulating the terms of regional autonomy when establishing systems of territorial self-government.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
