===Territorial hierarchy===
[[File:Majapahit Core and Provinces.svg|thumb|right|360px|Majapahit core realm and provinces (''Mancanagara'') in eastern and central parts of Java, including islands of Madura and Bali]]
Majapahit recognise the hierarchy classifications of lands within its realm:
:#''[[Bhūmi|Bhumi]]'': the kingdom, ruled by the king
:#''Nagara'': the province, ruled by the ''rajya'' (governor), or ''natha'' (lord), or ''bhre'' (prince or duke)
:#''Watek'': the regency, administered by ''wiyasa'',
:#''Kuwu'': the district, administered by ''lurah'',
:#''Wanua'': the village, administered by ''thani'',
:#''Kabuyutan'': the hamlet or sanctuary place.

During its formation, Majapahit traditional realm only consists of lesser vassal kingdoms (provinces) in eastern and central Java. This region is ruled by provincial kings called ''Paduka Bhattara'' with the title ''Bhre'', shortened form of ''Bhatara i'' (Bhatara of). This title is the highest position below the monarch and similar to duke or duchess. Usually, this position reserved for the close relatives of the king. They have to administer their provinces, collect taxes, send annual tributes to the capital, and manage the defences of their borders.

During the reign of [[Hayam Wuruk|Dyah Hayam Wuruk]] (formally King Rajasanagara; 1350–1389) there were 12 provinces of Majapahit, administered by king's close relatives:
