==== Borough of Highgrove ====
Highgrove is regarded by many as the most prestigious borough of Gabon, boasting the gargantuan yet gorgeous Highgrove Palace which straddles the borough from coast to coast. The work on the palace and the surrounding local area is undertaken in part by the Gabonese Government in collaboration with members of the Order of Saint Marcus.
The borough has been undergoing renovations since its initial creation in 2018, there is a high standard of build style for the local area, especially of that surrounding the Palace. The Government takes extra care to ensure that every building block and piece of foliage is placed to perfection. This extra care does entail an extremely long construction time, with many projects on hold or undergoing constant planning phases within council circles.
Highgrove is set to be Gabon's centre for foreign activity, as that of embassies and ambassadorial residences, with a new palace-style forming in the region.
===== Mayoralty of Highgrove =====
The mayoralty of Highgrove has remained under the Vice Chancellor's administration since its inception as a borough, the mayor for Highgrove is responsible for the overall design and direction of the borough and the surrounding area across the separating northern canal.

==== Borough of Venice ====
The borough of Venice is the second most populous region in mainland Gabon, hosting both the township of Venice of which the borough is named after and the Shadowwyn company compound. The build style is diverse and the usual terracotta/oak style of Gabon seen across Salisbury, Bakerswood and Highgrove are not present in the borough of Venice.
Venice holds some of the roughest terrain in Gabon, with harsh mountain passes and incredible fragile topsoil - with the latter only being a few blocks above a deep ocean floor. This kind of geography is unique to the northern part of Gabon and solely rests within the borough of Venice.
The Lord's Council does not explicitly govern the borough of Venice, exempting it from numerous bills including but not limited to the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/architectural-standards-act/ Architectural Standards Act of 2020]. This hands off approach has allowed the settlements within Venice to flourish of their own accord and has generated capable and independent individuals, which is displayed in the industrious nature of the Shadowwyn company whos entire company is based in the borough as well as every member of their board.

===== Mayoralty of Venice =====
Although the mayoralty was principally created for the township of Venice under the steady and untiring hand of Cincius, with the latter's departure from the Council and the settlement of Shadowwyn in early 2020, the borough has come into the hands of the Shadowwyn company who are now themselves represented via the mayoralty of the borough.
The mayor of the borough is responsible for its safekeeping and monitoring the northern portion of mainland Gabon.

==== Borough of Baile bán ====
Translated to snow town or white home in irish, Baile bán is made up of two distinct landmasses and is the largest borough in mainland Gabon. Baile bán is the only borough in Gabon to contain more than one type of biome within its boundaries. The borough was once home to the farming industry and a small residential settlement under Alpoko. Baile bán was named by Councillor ChrisFa99 in 2019, and as an honorary gift the land was granted into his name, ChrisFa would resign from the Lord's Council before getting a chance to redevelop the borough and as such it has been left mostly as it was found - dilapidated and loosely griefed.
Numerous resettlement programs have been undertaken to repopulate the region, with the projects picking up pace in 2021 - resettlement of numerous newfriends and interested parties would see the redevelopment and naming of Aberfoyle in the northern island of Baile bán.
===== Mayoralty of Baile bán =====
The Mayoralty of Baile bán exists to offset an even number of mayors in local governance, and to ensure that the number of mayors remains the same as that of the Lord's Councillors.
