 Map of the twelve boroughs. |
The boroughs of Liberta are self-governing areas, and the highest tier of local government, between the neighborhoods and the national government. There are a total of 12 boroughs in Liberta. Boroughs have existed since 1204, when the growing size of Liberta made administration solely through the neighborhoods difficult. The inner five boroughs were established in the same year, and continued to grow until they were consolidated into their current form in 1808, when the outer seven boroughs were formed to handle the once again rapidly expanding island. Additionally, there are five borough-level equivalents (BLE), which retain equal judicial powers, but are located outside of mainland Liberta. Only one borough-level equivalent, the Breakaways Region, has a permanent population.
Unlike many top-level political subdivisions, boroughs lack national representation through an upper house, since they are a later addition to the Libertan political system. Their initial name and Latin name is provinciae, this was later anglicized to borough instead of province, as the Libertan English Language Transition Committee felt that it was too similar to protectorate.
