Neighborhoods of Liberta

Map of Liberta with all neighborhoods. Thicker lines represent borough borders, which also serve as neighborhood borders.

The neighborhoods of Liberta are the lowest-level of local government entities on mainland Liberta. They have existed as local entities with political power since 36 AD, when the trinitarian representative form of government was consolidated by Cato, son of Aurelian. Their legal duties of public service vary by borough, but five obligations are universally required by the constitution. These are policing, sanitation, providing public wells, maintaining streets, and building regulation. Since the beginning of the 20th century, most neighborhoods also provide and regulate hospitals and clinics, some social services, electricity and, since the 21st century, internet access. There are a total of 201 neighborhoods in Liberta, and many of the neighborhoods in the inner five boroughs have a long history of separate vernacular and unique, shared identities. This is reflected in official titles, ceremonial offices, flags, heraldry, symbols, public monuments, and architecture. Despite being the judicially weakest and smallest form of state in Liberta, the lack of cohesion in many boroughs results in many Libertans feeling a stronger connection to their neighborhood than their borough of residence. Neighborhoods rarely refer to themselves as such, their official titles instead often include district, city, quarter or vicus. Industrial districts refer to eight southern neighborhoods in Marima, with special zoning, very few housing lots and a low population.

Their varying size and population leads to a considerable difference in both their reported ability to maintain public services, and in their perception by visitors. Some Neighborhoods are comparable with small towns (less than 10,000 inhabitants), whilst others have a population comparable to what is thought of as a city (over 125,000 inhabitants). This population imbalance also results in inequality in terms of national representatives per person. The representative from the least populated neighborhood, Kilburn, representing 1,181 people, has the same amount of voting power as the representative for the most populated neighborhood, Westview, representing 181,465 people. National referendums are held during issues which a majority of the Hall of Decision finds "nationally important," or can be enacted if a petition receives more signatures than the latest population census result divided by 12 (currently roughly 930,000 signatures).

Duties

Policing

Policing in Liberta is administered on three levels which mirror the levels of government, neighborhood, borough, and national. The police forces of neighborhoods vary significantly in terms of scope, equipment, and budget. Areas with larger populations generally maintain larger police forces, sometimes with a special forces team and riot police unit. Neighborhood forces are well-connected, both to their borough-level equivalent and surrounding areas' police forces. Escaping from the neighborhood in which a crime has been committed does not grant immunity from persecution, all police forces have since the medieval era been legally obligated to apprehend and hand over those wanted for a crime committed outside their own neighborhood.

Sanitation

Sanitation refers to the duty of ensuring that street and house-waste is regularly collected and excised, as to not negatively affect public health. In modern times most neighborhoods have entered into borough-level organizations which systematically organize the removal of trash. Some areas still maintain local dumps, whilst most have local recycling stations. However, basic sanitation, such as the cleaning of streets and maintaining of public trashcans, is often maintained locally.

Water supply

The duty to provide public wells, which has since the 1800s been interpreted as the duty to provide potable water to homes, is an obligation which has largely been superseded on a borough-level. Clean water, which is produced in large water purification facilities controlled by boroughs, is routed through pipes which are in turn maintained by the neighborhood. Today, there are five major water supply systems in Liberta, several are shared by multiple boroughs, whilst some, like the Eode water supply, are exclusive to that borough.
