Northern Region, Laioria

The Northern Region (Spanish: Región del Norte, often shortened to Norte) is a region of Laioria. It was originally created in 1922 during the revision of the country's administrative regions, and its borders were slightly modified in 1994.

It encompasses the entirety of Jango, which is its main settlement.

History
From Laioria's handover to Britain in 1859, Laioria was ruled as a self-governing unitary city-state. However, the 1920 Devolution Act devolved powers to new "Regional corporations", with control for the new "Northern Region". The Northern Laioria Corporation oversaw the area after its transition to independence.

In 1992, the Northern Laioria Corporation was disbanded and replaced by the Northern Laioria Regional Council. Since 1994, the figurehead of the Council has been the Governor of the Northern Region.

Education
The area is home to four primary schools and three secondaries, two of which have a sixth form attached. From 2024, a technical academy is scheduled to open on the outskirts of Jango.
