Regions of Astoria
Regions of Astoria are the five geographic divisions of Astoria established by the Astorian Census Commission (ACC) for statistical purposes. Established on January 1, 1921 by the Astorian Census Commission at the recommendation of the Independent Commission for State Admissions (ICSA). Since 1921 the five regions have been the Puget Sound, Central Coast, Southern, Interior, and Northern. Each region encompasses multiple states. Some regions share similar characteristics, such as climate, natural resources, and population distribution.The Central Coast region includes the Federal District, an administrative district under the direct control of the republic. The Northern region has the fewest states, with just one, while the Puget Sound region has the most, with four states.
Both the Puget Sound and Central Coast regions are notably more supportive of the Progressive–Labor party, while the Interior and Southern regions tend to favor the National Democratic party. The workforce in the Puget Sound is primarily employed in the service sector. The Central Coast and Southern regions have a significant portion of their workforce in the logging industry. The Interior region is characterized by diverse landscapes and drier climates, with a prevalence of employment in the mining sector.
