County proper (Atlantica Alba)

In the Kingdom of Atlantica Alba, 13 of the kingdom's 23 counties are counties proper (Atlantic: ciúmtae briodi; sg. ciaemtae briodi), the most common type of county. Counties proper, unlike unitary authorities or metropolitan counties, consist of a lower level of local government than the county level, called a municipality. Most local government services in the counties proper were provided by the municipalities, with the county councils responsible for only some local government services, whereas in unitary authorities and metropolitan counties, the county council administers all local government services, with communities, labelled districts and boroughs, respectively, and fully controlled by the county government as opposed to the municipalities of counties proper.
