- f) Municipalities should generally be smaller than Counties, but they may occupy space in multiple Counties.
- g) Local governments have the power to create Counties and Municipalities within their jurisdiction, but they may be overridden by Act of Council or Imperial Decree. Local governments may also choose to devolve power to Municipalities if they see fit. Power may not be devolved to Counties as they are to be completely ceremonial subdivisions.

The Lowlands, The Highlands, Tytannia Common, the Jebediah Hills, the Imperial Plains and Forester's Common are to be classified as Baronies. These may be changed at any time by the responsible local governments, in accordance with Section 1 of this Act.
- b) The titles and styles of the landed nobles of the Counties and Municipalities specified by this Act are to be amended in accordance with this Act.
- c) In passing this Act, the Ruling Council asks that the local governments divide their Provinces into Counties and Municipalities if they have not already done so.
