Description[?]:
| The current term for the regions of Sekowo proper are essentially outdated, the term was created before we had states and when Sekowo proper was primarily the entire country. As it stands the current Federal Districts are'nt really Federal entities, they're second-level administrative divisions. Lastly Kasmenai is the only technical Federal District, as it's a Federal subject itself that's not a state, being the capital. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggestions; -Municipae* -Province -Farþing -Færin -Canton -District -Phylum ______________________________________________________________________________________________ As per discussion Municipae has become the most popular of the submissions and is thusly the term to be put to vote. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
