Stagfordshire,

Like it.

Cumbria was only created in 1974. New Cumberland, maybe?

Not so bad.

Our regions are county equivalents so you want something lower; the traditional subdivision in most of England were called Hundreds (Wards in the far north of England, Wapentakes in much of the Danelaw. In some places there were also Liberties. In Sussex they had... er... Rapes). I actually like the idea of having one of them not given a shire-like name; fits in with the idea of their being multiple Plantations.

Although if you're only having three, you could call them Ridings.

Would work better with an 'e' on the end: Slatcliffe.

English for burg is bury, so that would be Ralphsbury. If the ralph is based off the name, you could also call it Rafesbury.

Dinhill?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Dinhill?

That would work.

What do you think of the other names?

They seem fine. You'd have to work out a backstory for 'Aurora' I think, but that wouldn't be hard.

For the last Hundred name, one old English (though not Old English) word for salt springs is Wich (or Wych). You could work something around that, maybe?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Alright, alright. Some of that is seriously cheap.

The port would originally have been in Castle borough, but is now in Darside and Northcoates (it would have had to expand as the size of ships increased in the late twentieth century, though it might have done so earlier).

St Marks is governed by a two-tier system. Most local government functions are controlled by the City Council, but there are also be individual Borough Councils that control things like waste disposal and rates (property taxes).

The Wapentakes have no local government function anywhere; they're just historical regions that locals have a degree of attachment to.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Any region or something I could do?

Loads to do still. What sort of thing would you like to do?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

You should have some militant agricultural labourers (even if back in the past) somewhere, because they're so much fun

[Filuwaúrdjan]

This one did have potential, so...

What would make most sense would be two parties to start with, but to allow for the possibility of party splits and new political forces, etc.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

It's a bit like Britain where there's a tradition of having an address in the constituency, even if it's only used (as is often the case) as a base for constituency casework and for election campaigning.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

No, but I think the only way to get that done is to just fire the starting gun regardless.
