Sussex is one of three political units that constitute the United Kingdom of Wessex and Cornwal. Sussex is the Eastern most of the three, located on the English Channel, bordering the Wessen county of Hampshire to the West. Named after the ancient Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Sussex, meaning South Saxon.

Unlike the other two countries of Wessex and Cornwall which were devolved under the Acts of Devolution of 1985, Sussex gained its 'country' status in 1986, under an amendment to the Acts, and as a result Sussex has no official devolved government and Sussex is governed directly by the National Government of the United Kingdom of Wessex and Cornwall, and has the same legal system as Wessex. Because of this, Sussex is often referred to as a 'Province' or 'Region.'

Sussex is historically divded into two counties, East Sussex and West Sussex, this tradition was continued. Each county is divided into several Local Government Districts. The Local Government system in Sussex is marginally different to that of Wessex.

Governance
There has been no Regional Government of Sussex since the Regional Assembly for Sussex which was wound up in 1979, the Regional Assembly was reponsible for development in the region of Sussex, and was, unlike its name, not an Assembly by law.

Sussex is governed directly by the United Kingdom of Wessex and Cornwall's Government, and is often considered a 'Special Region' of Wessex or a Province of Wessex and Cornwall.

Sussex does however, have a separate local government system that is marginally different from that of Wessex, but does not have a separate legal system than Wessex.
