Bran District is the capital city and the federal district of the Commonwealth of Dracul. The city is located to the east of central Dracul, and forms its southwestern border with South Dracul. It borders North Dracul to its North. Bran District was named after Bran Castle in Romania.
History
Bran District was formed in 2020, after the National Parliament saw an unfair advantage over South Dracul, with North Dracul hosting the Capital. Reasons ranged from more citizens, a much larger budget, more business opportunities, popularity and military bases. Before the creation of Bran District, its land area was split between North and South Dracul states.
In a final attempt to allow Bran District to continue operations, an ultimatum was presented, that being, allow the military set up a government that doesn't have confliction or the district be completely destroyed. After months of editing various documents, and editing the City Charter the new government was unveiled, this time removing the Mayor position and having only a city council. Eugene Smith was voted in as a councilman by citizens of Bran, and appointed Chairman by Military Governor Connor Modena.
Peace was short-lived as Smith began removing some anti-corruption countermeasures installed in Bran's revamp, and was later expelled from Dracul. Following the resigination of some other council members, Dracul's National Parliament absolved Bran's Government to Federal Control. After much disscussion, Federal Parliament On October 29, 2022, decided that due to conflict, corruption and joblessness Bran District as a reigion, government & region would be dissolved and all citizens would have the option to relocate to either North or South Dracul.
