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.

Districts
Note that any district formed before 1896 excluding Aberdeen, Durham, Marquette (now a federal district), New Aurentia (now Neuw Aurentië) and Pirasaugett (defunct after its split in 1916) were counties (territories in Aberdeen).
