Flunderberg, officially The Free City of Flunderberg is a constituent semi-independent state of Dolchland located on the southwestern coast. Flunderberg, like other Free Cities of Dolchland, enjoys equal status under the law as the other states of Dolchland do, despite consisting only of a large city and its surrounding smaller communities. Flunderberg, however, is the largest of the Free Cities in land area, and incorporates the smaller communities of Rattelsdorf, Hochplatz and Grunplatz, which are administered identically to Flunderberg proper. The city is ruled by a council of 14 Burghers, headed by a president, the Burgermeister Meisterburger. This office's unusual name reflects its origin: the original 14 councilors could not agree on the title of Town Mayor or Master Citizen, and so in the absence of a tiebreaking vote the two proposals were conjoined into the unusual title used by the city's ruler ever since.
