Saint Isidore's County is an Imaguan county situated on the northern part of the island of Imagua. It situated to the southwest by Saint Florian's, to the south by Saint Ellen's, and to the east by Saint Fiacre's. If the Maracan-occupied Dunhelm Island is included, Saint Isidore's County is home to the northernmost point in the country.
Etymology
The county is named after Saint Isidore the Labourer, as the patron saint of farmers, as the area was intended to be the "breadbasket" of the nascent Colony of Imagua.
Government
Saint Isidores's, like any other county (except for the city of Cuanstad, and the Assimas County) is run by the county council (Vespasian: consiglio di contea), comprising of fourty seats. The county council is led by a Sheriff (Sceriffo or Sceriffa), currently Trevor Moore of the Sotirian Labour Party, which has 18 seats on the county council and governs in coalition with the four members from the Farmer's Party. The other parties represented are the Democratic Labour Party, at 9 seats, the Movement for a New Imagua at 5 seats, one each from the Green Party, the Sotirian Defence Party, and the West Arucian Section of the Worker's International, as well as one independent. The county government is based in Nua Taois.
Like all other counties except Cuanstad and the Assimas Islands, Saint Ellen's has very little authority, which has led to very low participation in county elections and government, with the average turnout for county elections only being around 22.5%.
Economy
As Saint Isidore's County is situated outside of the Cuanstad metropolitan area, unlike Saint Ellen's, the economy of Saint Isidore's County is not as reliant on Cuanstad. While since the 1950s, Nua Taois and Knowleston have become major economic centres for the county, agriculture continues to be a key industry, especially in rural areas.
