Elstock (Elstocker: Elstók), officially the Free City of Elstock (Elstocker: Wòlny Gard Elstók; German: Freie Stadt Elstock), is a city state [WIP]

Etymology

Numerous linguists attest that the native name of Elstock (Elstók in Elstocker) derives from the Slavic term Elstoku (*els-tokŭ, or "fork of the Els"), named after the river Els that runs through the city before draining into the Bay of Elstock. Before the Elstocker language was standardized in the 19th century, the port previously appeared in documents as alternatively Elstik, Alztyk, Elztuk, andElczók.

The German Elstock is also assumed to be derived from the original Slavic term, and has in the past appeared as Elsstok, Elßtok, Alstock, or Elztock in various historical documents.

Administrative divisions

Elstock is divided into six districts (Elstocker: dzélnicô; German: Bezirk), with certain rights and responsibilities on the local level. The modern-day districts are based on the original four divisions of the city in the 18th century. Szmôlermark would be incorporated into Elstock in 1884, and Tónkowò in 1920.
