Federal cities
Federal cities centre on densely populated urban agglomerations around traditional cities and their greater metropolitan belts. Some urban cores, such as Oppidum's, have existed for centuries, but others such as the Federal City of Midway are currently under construction to bridge former counties and small towns which will eventually form a planned agglomeration.
Federal cities have similar powers and privileges to the Provinces of Woodstead although they have supreme courts rather than provincial courts. Whereas federal provinces can be divided into counties, the federal cities consist of semi-independent boroughs as well as centrally-administered cities. Most federal cities also can be divided in to two or three districts which often handle matters delegated to them by local borough governments and the federal city administration for projects which cross borough borders but do not fall in to the business of the strategic tier of government.
The ten federal cities are:—
- Woldland
- Stormthorpe
- Saint Edward
- Oppidum
- Midway
- Imberford
- Iley
- Eymont
- Eskalf
- Deerford
