With the expansion of Salisbury, surrounding towns and the ceded borough territory to Venice, local governance slowly ceased to exist as the Capital was no longer the only settlement on the mainland and as such the Councillors of Salisbury merged into the same position of Councillors of Gabon. The borough of Salisbury would remain the largest and most populated borough, with the neighbouring boroughs of Bakerswood [2] {Southeast}, Venice [4] {North} and Highgrove [3] {South}.
