Counties of the Meridian
The Meridian have 16 counties. They have their own region leader and then their council leader but the Region of London has only 1 region leader and no council leaders. This is because of 1881, the London Council Authority is abolished and there are now two councils in the London Area, Greater London and City of London. City of London should not be confused of Greater London, so the council leader could not control City of London.
In addition, when Wessex became a country, a part of Wessex was split to be the North Eastern Part of Wessex. It still have some Wessex powers but technically it is part of the Merdiain.
