Saint Christopher's Parish is an Imaguan parish situated in the southern part of the island of Imagua. It is bordered to the west by Cuanstad, to the north by Saint Ellen's Parish, and to the east by Saint Hubert's Parish.
Etymology
The parish was named after Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers, as due to the geography of the parish, few people dared to settle in the area until 1569, when Lundholm was established.
Government
Saint Christopher's, like any other parish (except for the city of Cuanstad, and the Assimas Parish) is run by the parochial council (Etrurian: consiglio parrocchiale), comprising of thirty-five seats. The parochial council is led by a Chairman (Presidente), currently Ralph Parker. The parochial government is based in Lundholm.
Like all other parishes except Cuanstad and the Assimas Islands, Saint Christopher's has very little authority, which has led to very low participation in parochial elections and government, with the average turnout for parochial elections only being around 22.5%.
Economy
While the western regions of Saint Christopher's Parish is heavily reliant on Cuanstad, the further east one goes, the less reliant the economy is on Cuanstad, with agriculture being the predominant industry in the general area. The primary economic centres outside of the Cuanstad metropolitan area are located in Lundholm and Bellmare.
