Administrative Divisions

This is an excerpt from Federal Capital Region (Massagaf)

Because the municipalities in the Federal Capital Region are all considered third-tier municipalities, meaning that they amount to self-sufficient district (except Massagaf city proper, which is a special muncipality), the surrounding cities and towns are considered consolidated districts of the Federal Capital District. The city of Massagaf itself is divided up into 8 zones and 27 subprefectures.

Each councilman or councilwoman represents one of the 32 electoral districts (many of them are based off the 1910 geography of some of the subprefectures), and serves on a 3-year basis with no term restrictions.

Nickname (The City of Disgraceful Development)

Massagaf is nicknamed the city of Disgraceful Development as it is not good. Although Massagaf’s development is rated between above average and good, which makes the city rated as Moderately Good, healthcare and education is less in Massagaf. Most schools are online-only schools. There are some hospitals in Massagaf, which makes them really busy. The neighboring town of Santoro had no direct access to the city until Motorway M-1 connected Santoro to Massagaf. The Bloxjis are pressuring the government to make Rushilox the capital city. Despite Rushilox not being the capital, Rushilox is the main emergency capital for Bloxjiado. The Voldex Party Backup shut off subway and train service to Massagaf in 2014, which made air travel profitable but more hectic. A lot of houses were demolished, but some houses remain. 98% of Massagaf’s population lives in apartments. The development is being improved.
