Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 113 Administrative Division of the Duchy of Nord

PS: Thank you xiaoteng07 for your tip.

Naturally, Joseph is not clear about the affairs in the United States, but now he has started to prepare for the return journey. The grain trade matter can barely be regarded as a satisfactory result, but these are nothing compared to the Western Sahara region.

Herman will continue to stay in the Kingdom of Morocco in view of the Western Sahara region, so it can be said that only Joseph and his guards are going back.

After more than two years, the New City of the Principality of Nord has been completely completed. A city that can accommodate [-] residents may not be comparable to a city with a population of one million such as New York and Yanjing. However, Nord New City also has its own characteristics. , Yanjing absolutely does not have the ease, freedom, shaded trees, and flourishing flowers and trees.

The industrial zone outside the city has also been fully established at this time. There are nearly 15 workers from various countries living there, and the annual economic value created exceeds [-] billion euros.

Further south is the national forest park jointly built by Nord and France. Most of the logs in the Principality of Nord come from here, and its importance to the Principality of Nord is self-evident.

It is worth mentioning that the Nord National Cemetery is also built on the side of the forest park, so although the park has not been opened, many people have visited here. After all, many people in Nord die every year due to various reasons.In addition, the Nord cabinet is also planning to build a children's playground, a large filming center and a zoo and botanical garden.

With the economic growth of the Principality of Nord, the citizens of Nord now have a high demand for entertainment. Amusement parks, zoos and botanical gardens can bring objective profits and meet the needs of citizens. Why not do it?
Of course, these are all previous plans. It is estimated that the Principality of Nord will build a large stadium in the forest reserve after the Olympic Games. Although Nord City already has one, the area and various conditions are not up to standard.

The forest reserve is not a forest but mainly includes the administrative area of ​​national forest parks jointly owned by Nuofa, so there is still a lot of free space here to build these projects.

The Principality of Nord now has a new urban area, an industrial area, and a forest reserve. In addition, there are six major islands and the Nord Islands. The administrative officials are naturally different according to the importance of each district.

The small town system is practiced on the islands. Each small town has a mayor and several magistrates. The town's finances, taxation, and industry are all in charge of the town mayor. It can be said that they are the real emperors of the land.

The mayor of the town is appointed by the Nord cabinet, but they are not without supervision. The members of the House of Commons are elected by ordinary citizens. On average, each town has three members. They are mainly responsible for supervising the mayor and protecting the residents of the town. Interests.

In fact, councilors are generally composed of lawyers, doctors, and judges. After all, they are easy to gain the respect of residents.Those industrial owners?Nord is not a commercial country, and Nord does not lack jobs. Industrial owners want to use work and money to buy votes, so it is not something that can be done with hundreds of thousands of euros.

According to the general standard of a small town, if there are more than 100 small town residents, if an industrial owner wants to buy their votes, he must spend at least ten times their annual salary to impress the town residents.The residents of the Principality of Nord are not short of money to spend, so wealth is not very attractive to them.

According to the per capita income released by Nord in 1984, the annual salary of 1 is everywhere, ten times that is 000 euros, and more than 100 mouths is more than [-] million euros. I believe that there is no industrial owner who can afford so much money. Come buy a House of Commons MP with supervisory powers only.

The town mayor is an independent position. Although they have a superior, the mayor of the town cannot be removed by any other method except that the town councilors jointly propose to remove them, and the evidence is clear after review (except for the grand duke himself).To put it simply, it is to give the mayor of the town the greatest authority, so that they will not be interfered by their superiors.

When Joseph put forward this proposal, it was unanimously opposed by the cabinet, but as time passed, they had to admit that Joseph's insistence was correct, because such a mayor was efficient and achieved great results. The happiness index and the economy are the most obvious evidence.

Above the town is the district (city) level administrative unit, but there are only three such administrative units, and the island is directly under the management of the cabinet, not counted.

Although the status of the industrial zone is the highest, the mayor of the industrial zone is almost incomparable with the mayor of the new city. Not surprisingly, the mayor of the urban area is almost the future Minister of the Interior of Nord, while the mayor of the industrial zone is at most a minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

According to statistics, as of 1984, the Principality of Nord had a total of more than [-] national-level civil servants, and more than [-] total civil servants. If the Janissary and the Security Bureau are included, the number is already close to [-]. With a population of only tens of thousands of citizens in the Principality of Nord, finances are undoubtedly a pressure.

Of course, this is just generally speaking. In fact, the Nord Principality, which has more than [-] laborers, has already saved thousands of civil servants. Their annual salary accounts for less than one ten-thousandth of the entire Nord Principality. It can be said that It's really a drop in the bucket.

The difference between state-level public servants and ordinary public servants is the difference between the salary paid by the Ministry of Finance and the salary paid by the region. Among them, officials other than the police station and the town mayor belong to the regional salary, and their salaries will be allocated from the regional finance. It also caused different salaries in different regions.

However, for example, small towns in forest reserves and overseas islands will have certain subsidies. Although they cannot be equal to industrial areas and urban areas, their salaries are also much closer.

Different citizens have different lifestyles, some like to be in the noisy urban area, although Nord’s urban area is not very noisy, and some like the quiet countryside, even if the salary in the countryside is less, it is a good place for self-cultivation .This is the reason why there are not many small town residents on overseas islands, and even some millionaires are among them.

Joseph has his own country house in a small town on the second island. When the summer is very hot, he likes to live on the second island for a period of time. Seeing the tractors and other agricultural machinery on the country road have a kind of Very special feeling.

The little male lion also likes the country house and has made some good friends, but Joseph guesses that the big dogs don't know that their friend is a lion (because they have been kept at home for too long).

Several of Joseph’s teachers, including Fritz Erich von Manstein, had their own villas on the island, especially the masters of Chinese martial arts. They always said that the countryside was good for them to break through the realm, although The chances of a breakout are almost zero.
