=== Administrative Divisions ===
The state of Gabon is divided into five separate administrative subdivisions, or more commonly known as boroughs, with an additional three subdivisions and one special protective zone. All boroughs fall under the legislative authority of the Lord's Council '''—''' The Council may pass laws that only affect specific boroughs, such as the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/architectural-standards-act/ Architectural Standards Act of 2020]<ref>https://gabon.vercel.app/law/architectural-standards-act/</ref>. Each borough is administrated at a local level by a Mayor, usually appointed by the Lord High Chancellor to represent the make-up of the Lord's Council. As the Mayoralties of all boroughs devolve their power from the central legislative authority in the Lord's Council, it is common for some Mayors to hold no authority or devolved powers whatsoever and the title to be used honorifically to bestow respect onto certain individuals by the Gabonese government.
When towns within a Gabonese borough reach a certain population, the Lord's Council may have the township split into suburbs to further administrate the the settlement's local boundaries. Suburbs can be created for a myriad of reasons such as in order to separate building styles, to draw a line between public and private buildings or to represent populations more adequately in census work and politics. The capital city of Salisbury is the only populated settlement in Gabon that currently contains suburbs, of which there are 13.
All boroughs and suburbs under the Republic of Gabon are to be updated regularly as the cities and territories expand, the Lord's Council holds the responsibility to manage and draw boundaries of all administrative divisions. The boroughs for Gabon as well as the suburbs for Salisbury were last voted on and approved by the Lord's Council on November 12 2020.

==== Borough of Salisbury ====
Salisbury is the second largest borough by area, and the most populous & economically valuable region within the Republic of Gabon
As the capital city of Salisbury expanded rapidly in late 2020, portions of new settlements such as Fleetwood and Swanmore extended into the boundary of the borough of Bakerswood. This growth expanded the boundaries of the capital across two boroughs. These suburbs straggling Salisbury and Bakerswood are administrated collectively by both boroughs.

===== Mayoralty of Salisbury =====
Due to the borough's size and value to the nation of Gabon, the Mayoralty of Salisbury holds the highest level of authority and devolved powers within the local government structure
The Capital of Salisbury and its borough receives a mayor and a deputy mayor to administrate both the capital city and the borough respectively. The mayoralty of Salisbury operates under a legal power-sharing agreement in which the mayor has authority over the city boundaries '''—''' whilst the deputy mayor holds authority over the remaining portion of the Salisbury borough itself. ▼
