DGS

From Azuwiki

The Distre Governing System, or DGS for short, is a bureaucratic reform first instituted by Prince Heral Xang I.

Purpose

The idea is a simple one; each territory of Distre has within it a system of districts, each with a Distre Governance Station, or DGS. These stations act as footholds of the Prince's power, housing bureaucrats, leaders, the Guard, and other esteemed members of the court or the government. While size and exact purpose vary, in so far as there is a place in Distre, a DGS is sure to be nearby. DGS's are more common in areas of population, though there isn't any square inch of Distre that is not districted to one of the plethora of stations. In towns and cities, the DGS is typically also the residence of the Governor Mayor. Each territory itself has a head bureau building located in the provincial capital. It is the seat of the Duke.

Nomenclature

Every station begins with the initialism DGS, followed by a dash and a number-letter designation. The numbers (0-99) relate to the district number, usually in a circular spiral patter fanning out from Rial. The letter after it (A-Z) refers to the subdistrict position. Say, random district 21 has three Governance Stations to deal with its population and spread. The designation for them would be DGS-21A, DGS-21B, and DGS-21C, in order of when they were established. Every station has a letter designation. Even if a territory only has one station, the letter (A) is there to allow for ease of paperwork and restructuring should more be needed.

Head district bureau buildings are given designations starting with DGSB, or Distre Governing System Bureau. This is follow by the letter A, B, or C - each correlating to the territory (Eastern, Southern, and Western respectively) that the Bureau heads. They act as the overall and direct thrupoint from Rial (and the Prince) to the system.
