Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Let an agent explain the senses of junta, relay forms of local and regional executive boards in Italy, Spain and Latin America and the concept of military juntas from political science and legal sources with attribution, describe the named bodies, and distinguish juntas from councils as legislative bodies, cabinets and dictatorships generally.
A council, board or committee, from the Spanish and Portuguese junta and related to the Italian giunta, used for executive bodies of regional and local government such as the Italian giunta comunale or municipal executive board and giunta regionale or regional government, including those of Milan, Bari and Grosseto, and Spanish regional governments such as the Junta de Andalucia; in English it most often refers to a military junta, a government led by a committee of military officers after seizing power. The registry aliases naming specific municipal boards and the municipal council of Cagliari are instances or a different body.
