De facto state
Monopolization of violations alternative to the state to which this territory is designated, displaying administrative capacities.
When a state is not able to stretch its yoke over its designated territory, demand may rise for alternatives. We speak about issues concerning political infrastructure. In such case an alternative monopolization of violations can give rise to a polity within a polity that may develop state like features although it does not derive jurisdiction from the state and has no legal status in the global polity, hence the name: De facto states lack the de jure recognition of having sovereignty recognized by The United Nations. They are usually the product of intra-state conflict and constitute polity fragmentation by supplying state like features: policing, administration, legal jurisdiction, etc., on a territory de jure designated to another political form. The political form of the de facto state can be quite elaborate. Usually, the dependency of a de facto state on the goodwill on another state leads it to limited autonomy and vassalage under suzerainty.
