Municipality (Atlantica Alba)

In the Kingdom of Atlantica Alba, a municipality (Atlantic: baeirdd; pl. baerddi) is a lower-tier unit of local government in one of the 13 counties proper of Atlantica Alba. Unlike most counties, municipalities use the mayor–council form of local government.

Lower-tier municipalities of this sort do not exist in the remaining 10 counties of Atlantica Alba: the 7 unitary authorities and three metropolitan counties, which instead receive all local government services from a single authority of the respective county council, and are divided geographically into districts (ardal, sg. radal) and boroughs (baeiérg sg. buiaerg), respectively, which have community names like municipalities but no local governments of their own below the county level.

Unlike Atlantica Alba proper, the six Personal Realms are not divided into counties, but instead employ a single tier of local government consisting of multiple municipalities. All government services in each of the Personal Realms not sponsored by the respective realm government are provided by a particular municipality. The most populous municipality of each of the six Personal Realms serves as the capital city and cultural and economic centre of its respective realm.
