Districts in the [[United States of Quentin]] were first introduced with the [[Constitution of the United States of Quentin]], ratified in 1834. The Constitution refers to districts in [[Article V of the Quentinian Constitution#Section 2|Article V]] when talking about states and their setup, saying, "An array of districts shall be created for each state, to help run daily activities and provide for simple elections (Both federal and state). These districts shall not be many, such as other nations have, so that they divide the state so much, but should be chosen by the state's respective ruling document based upon economic, political, geographical, and other divides."

The Grassland Area was the second state of the original four to actually implement this vision from the nation's founders, second to [[Snowland]], when in 1839 the [[Grassland House of Representatives]] voted to create the [[GA State Election Committee]], which continues to this day. While Snowland had taken the Constitution literally when they said 5% of the state's area, originally having 20 districts, the GA committee took it less so, creating 15 districts and mainly basing them on geographical lines, such as the [[Logan River]]. The committee set the precedent of making changes to districting after each [[United States of Quentin Census|census]], or every 7 years.

The 15 districts in the [[Grassland Area]] remained for over 60 years, until in 1915 the committee changed it to 17, separating [[Amia Woman District]] and [[Miners District]] from [[Old Single District]], mainly because of economic differences between the three, as well as changing demographics in the [[Minersville]] area. The 17 districts remained until late in the 1960's, when the [[Robbie District]] was separated from the [[Capital Riverway District]] after much debate and controversy from the Robbie District, making 18 districts. The committee, along with much of the state House, believed the area around [[Rooblie]] had grown very different from the Capital Riverway, citing economic underdevelopment in comparison to the Riverway, as well as population and ethnic differences, as Rooblie had received tens of thousands of Brightwater immigrants in the past two decades. the Robbie District area argued they had kept up with economic development, and although tensions have calmed, the point remains a sour one in the District today.

See also: State Districts in the USQ.

Grassland Area State Districts are 18 areas of the Grassland Area, a state in the United States of Quentin, designated by the Grassland Area State Constitution. These districts have many purposes, among them being a local government, which handles small matters that the state government does not, separate police forces and other different laws among them, and several organizational matters, including the representation of state representatives. For the most part, the districts are divided based on different statistics from censuses, including economic, ethnic, political, etc.[1]

Background

Districts in the United States of Quentin were first introduced with the Constitution of the United States of Quentin, ratified in 1834. The Constitution refers to districts in Article V when talking about states and their setup, saying, "An array of districts shall be created for each state, to help run daily activities and provide for simple elections (Both federal and state). These districts shall not be many, such as other nations have, so that they divide the state so much, but should be chosen by the state's respective ruling document based upon economic, political, geographical, and other divides."

The Grassland Area was the second state of the original four to actually implement this vision from the nation's founders, second to Snowland, when in 1839 the Grassland House of Representatives voted to create the GA State Election Committee, which continues to this day. While Snowland had taken the Constitution literally when they said 5% of the state's area, originally having 20 districts, the GA committee took it less so, creating 15 districts and mainly basing them on geographical lines, such as the Logan River. The committee set the precedent of making changes to districting after each census, or every 7 years.
The State Elections Committee at its first meeting.

The 15 districts in the Grassland Area remained for over 60 years, until in 1918 the committee changed it to 17, separating Amia Woman District and Miners District from Old Single District, mainly because of economic differences between the three, as well as changing demographics in the Minersville area. The 17 districts remained until late in the 1960's, when the Robbie District was separated from the Capital Riverway District after much debate and controversy from the Robbie District, making 18 districts. The committee, along with much of the state House, believed the area around Robbie had grown very different from the Capital Riverway, citing economic underdevelopment in comparison to the Riverway, as well as population and ethnic differences, as Robbie had received tens of thousands of Brightwater immigrants in the past two decades. the Robbie District area argued they had kept up with economic development, and although tensions have calmed, the point remains a sour one in the District today.

State District Importance

One main part of each district is their local government, which each has a small amount of elected officials that help run certain aspects. Each district in the GA has a GA District Officer, who is elected by a simple majority of eligible voters in their respective district, and acts much like the governor, but only for the district. This includes things such as handling the local police force, appointing officials to different positions on the district administrative board, and other things. The district administrative board handles many things, such as parks and recreational areas, enforcing state taxes, and approving funding towards different services and events, including numerous city councils.

The second large importance of each district is their role in the organization of state and national elections. The major one of these is that each district is allowed four state representatives, and only citizens of that district can vote for their district representatives. Voting stations for these elections and other are also set up by district, with each district getting around 100 voting and polling stations, spread out by population.

The following table is a list of all the districts in the Grassland Area, along with their date founded, etymology, district seat, and other data.
