Counties of Ananto
From Particracy Wiki
The Kalistani Province of Ananto is divided into 64 administrative districts known as counties. There is some variation in these district's governing form, and they can be grouped into Counties, Regional Counties, Munisipal Counties, and Historical Counties. In addition, the capital city of Kaliburg and its neighbor Port Davon are not technically in Ananto, as they are governed by the autonomous Kaliburg-Port Davon Federal District.
The Counties of Ananto date back to 1420, when Jorge I the Magnificent, Emperor of Ananto, divided his island into strictly drawn fiefs, each of which was given to a Count on the Council of Nobles (which served as a largely powerless legislature until 1907). These borders have changed a great deal, as have their ruling houses, but survive to this day as the chief administrative units of Ananto.

[edit] Regional Counties
These counties are located on the historically sparsely populated east coast, but were subdivided into buroughs in 1913 because their populations had grown too large for many of the governments. The historical counties survive for formal purposes, but all the duties of the county are carried out by the smaller buroughs, which are given letters. Buroughs do not have counts or houses. Each borough sends a representative to the state legislature, like a county.

48. Zappise-Jethro, House of Zappa

[edit] Historical Duchies
While these counties still exist officially, they have no officials, offices, counts, or powers, because they were absorbed by the Kaliburg-Port Davon Federal District. Therefore they are also completely unrepresentated in the hoomooroon. These two counties are also different in that they are in fact Duchies, not Counties.

52. Kaliburg-Kaliburg (Tunnel Dist.), House of Hanseatic Ananto
[edit] Blabbaroon
From 1432 until 1907, the 64 Counts of Ananto met in the Blabaroon (literally Council of Nobles, a term often used because it is more easily taken seriously) to act as the legislature of Kalistan. The council was originally formed as a feudal legislature meant to appoint a new king upon the death of the previous monarch, and levy troops. Starting in the 16th century the powers of the council began to increase dramatically. In 1813 two representatives from Vintalli joined the blabaroon (the Dukes of Vintalli). In 1907, the blabaroon was abolished and replaced with the hoomooroon (Council of Men), wherein each county/borough/metropolitan district elected a representative. With the foundation of the Federal Republic of Kalistan in 1924, the legislature of the island of Ananto ceased to rule the entire land of Kalistan, a duty which fell to the federal parliament (translated into Anantonese as, of course, blabaroon). The hoomooroon remained as the local provincial (later state) legislature of Ananto, a purpose which it still serves today. Notable reforms are that the Federal District does not send any representatives, and that the boroughs and metropolitan districts of Luxise, Evearia, and Dulnar send their own. The counties retain their historical borders, first set out in the 1400's, for ceremonial purposes, largely to keep historians, monarchists, and noblemen happy.
