Divisions of Pacifica

According to the Pacifican constitution, there are 36 divisions in total (i.e. 29 districts, 4 independent cities, 2 overseas territories and 1 federal district). The current number was reached in 2005 following the implementation of several independent cities across Pacifica.

Secession
While the former two can technically secede, it requires a complicated process that could take up to a decade to deal with if handled legally. Should a city secede, however, it would also have to be approved with the rest of the district it surrounds.

Enforcing and Implementing Laws
Pacifica's districts work a lot like the United States: any law that is not enforced by the legislative branch is an issue the districts would have to decide for themselves. The problem with this initially was that a city within said district could enforce a law that could have been considered unfavourable to a certain portion of the population and vice versa. The territories and federal district are, of course, within Pacifica's national law. However, home rule does apply to Marquette under certain conditions.
