The Provincias Internas, also known as the Comandancia y Capitanía General de las Provincias Internas (Commandancy and General Captaincy of the Internal Provinces), was an administrative district of the Spanish Empireball created in 1776 to provide more autonomy for the frontier provinces of the Viceroyalty of New Spainball, present-day northern Mexicoball and Southwestern USAball. The goal of its creation was to establish a unified government in political, military, and fiscal affairs. Nevertheless, the Commandancy General experienced significant changes in its administration because of experimentation to find the best government for the frontier region as well as bureaucratic in-fighting. Its creation was part of the Bourbon Reforms and was part of an effort to invigorate economic and population growth in the region to stave off encroachment on the region by foreign powers. During its existence, the Commandancy General encompassed New Navarraball, New Vizcayaball, Las Californiasball, Santa Fe de Nuevo Méxicoball, New Santanderball, New Kingdom of Leónball and New Extremaduraball (New Spain).
