From Nomicapolis
{{Message box|Solid Yellow|This is a draft proposal.|Be sure to replace this template with {{Proposed rule}} when it is submitted.}}
Districting
Nomicapolis is divided into nine cantons. These cantons shall be named as follows:
- North Canton
- South Canton
- East Canton
- West Canton
- Northeast Canton
- Northwest Canton
- Southeast Canton
- Southwest Canton
- Center Canton
Cantons may be referred to by additional or alternate names only as the rules permit.
The borders of each canton shall be initially drawn such that they share a border with three and only three other cantons: the center canton, and the two adjacent cantons as implied by their compass names.
Population
Each Citizen of Nomicapolis is considered to be a resident of a single canton. Initially, each canton except for the Center Canton shall be populated with 6,500 citizens. The Center Canton shall be populated from the remaining 500 citizens. At the time of this initial population, should the population be greater than 52,500 citizens, the remaining citizens shall be distributed as though they were new citizens. If the population of Nomicapolis has shrunk below 52,500 citizens at the time of initial population, sufficient immigrants will be added to bring the total population up to 52,500.
When new Citizens of Nomicapolis are created, and no rule otherwise specifies their residency, these new citizens shall be distributed equally amongst all cantons except the Center Canton. Any citizens remaining after this assignment shall become residents of the Center Canton.
