Political geography
Littlands current 16 counties (amter) were created following the County Reform of 2004, which also granted autonomy to the Malskland region which has a considerable majority of the countrys Malskic population. Every county has a county mayor (amtsborgmester) and a county council (amtsråd) which are elected in local elections. The Malskland county council, called the Malskland Assembly is unique both in the powers it has and having 100 seats rather than the standard 45 seats county councils have. Each county is further divided into 253 municipalities (kommuner), lead by a mayor (borgmester) and municipal council (kommunalråd).
