Line 167:
The Capital Depository was the first project to be attempted, a behemoth of a building with the intent of storing all of Salisbury's building materials and supplies. It was not only the construction of the building itself that was time consuming but transporting almost 30 double chests of resources into the depository itself, reportedly three fully-loaded donkeys died in the transportation process. The Capital Depository would become a vital part of every future building project planned from then on, making the distribution of building supplies much more efficient throughout the entire borough.

Portsmouth's blueprints were gradually laid out as foundations across the eastern bay of Salisbury by Vice Chancellor Gobblin, who had the vision of creating an modest economic community within the Capital to hopefully attract business from across the quadrant. Initial progress was slow as on April 11th it was leaked that allegedly the Gabonian Government had poorly budgeted the cities stone supplies and overstated the amount of stone in storage, while started as gossip, the government did later confirm the rumour and city-wide projects including the Salisbury wall were halted as a new source to make up for the lack of stone was sought.
Line 173:
While construction materials were being ordered, Chancellor BritishWanderer and Vice Chancellor Gobblin took part in public events and set out to better the daily life of the average citizen, this included the popular bill to provide adequate public lighting across Salisbury especially to those who resided in impoverished areas of the Capital such as Melbourne. Both Chancellors also took the time to repave certain roads and enhance the local beauty by adding in bunting strewn across streets, planting flora and fauna that lined major roads and creating public gardens for citizenry to benefit from.
Once the aptly named stone crisis was declared over by the Council, labour immediately began on the renovations of Salisbury International Station, the scale comparatively to the station at the time was colossal, stationed underground at nearly 100 metres tall, it was a tremendous upgrade and became a grand entrance for any tourists or travellers passing through. The construction was the most efficient project of its size in the history of Salisbury, being designed, collected resources for and built all in the same working day. The days following, old rail lines were re-linked up to the new international station and holes were dug out in anticipation for future rail line extensions to Nyasaland, Gensokyo & Tvtopia. On the 14th of April, a direct rail line was dug between [[Icenia]] and Salisbury, linking the two major cities in the minus, minus quadrant.
The April renovations brought with it vast commercialisation to Portsmouth
Around the same time, Councillor OstenVonStolz, undaunted by the Capital wall project took it upon himself to finish the remainder of the wall, this was no small feat as the wall only covered the north side of the city at the time. For his efforts in completing the entirety of the wall of his own volition, a small ceremony was held in a meeting of Lord's Council where Councillor OstenVonStolz was awarded a sizable portion of forested land outside of the Capital, within the borough of Salisbury. ▼

▲The April renovations brought with it vast commercialisation to Portsmouth in the east thanks to international corporations and countries opening up stores selling foreign goods. This economic growth in turn created a steady supply of visitors and tourism for Salisbury which is credited with the increase in tourism and citizen applications.
It was this parcel of land that Councillor OstenVonStolz would transform into the quaint town of South Shields, boasting a pub, church, and blacksmith. This settlement was the first to be constructed outside of the capital, making it the second oldest settlement in the borough of Salisbury.

=== Winchester ===
'Jewel of Salisbury'. The administrative division of Winchester is approximately 122 metres crosswise with the highest point of the housing district standing at 20 metres above local ground level (70). There is a clear eye for detail within the suburb, with adequately wide inner pathways and sizable open spaces littered throughout. Great care has been taken to ensure the beauty of Winchester and it's boundary zone by the local district administrators, flora and fauna has been carefully manicured into a structured yet messy style which compliments the suburb nicely. Every building with exception of the central residence is detached from those around it with at least 3 metres of pathway or green spaces being the most common divider. Winchester is clearly the recipient of extra government funding compared to suburbs around it, boasting an Inn, a BnB, Cafe
==== Quality of Life ====
The QoL within Winchester is well above the average for the Capital as a whole, the residents within this suburb tend to be upper class with a majority of inhabitants being highly educated and holding government or white collar jobs.
Most locals received a comprehensive education at the Winchester
The community within Winchester is remarked to be snobbish, with residents carrying a 'holier than thou' attitude. It is notable to mention that a majority of residents (56%) support the restoration of the Monarchy. Inhabitants tend to avoid each other outside of organised gatherings such as street parties or national holidays, most families keep to themselves imposing strict schedules and curfews on their children which carries on to shape much of the adult residents of Winchester. Winchester boys are usually expected to follow in their father's footsteps, this is evidenced by nearly 55% of government employees being part of this generational work ethic. This however is not without criticism, many outside Winchester feel that it is improper to allow one such district to practically dictate Capital policy, efforts to combat this have been weak-willed at best with seemingly no change coming in the near future.

==== Notable Buildings ====
The residents of Winchester have a varied selection of food & drink establishments with the immensely popular and posh Cafe Glorina, and the two alcohol serving businesses of The Red Lion Pub and the Royal Bed & Breakfast. However the most recognised Winchester building would have to be that of
=== Hackney ===
Line 263 ⟶ 261:
The QoL within Hackney is considered to be the capital average upon which all other districts base their ratings off of. Residents in Hackney tend to be lower - average middle class with a majority of inhabitants having received a decent local education and working in blue-collar industries within the district.
Hackney locals are proud of their subculture, seeing themselves as highly self sufficient, owing to the centralised industry and the impressive depository in the district. Hackney acts as the city's entrance for 95% of goods that travel by land, imports are then stored in the depository where workers take care to attentively organise goods into their designated storage. Exports from the local fletchery, smithy and

Salisbury has been under a myriad of government systems
=== Monarchy Era ===
''5th June 2018 - 9th November 2018 (158 days)''
The system under which Salisbury was founded and awarded Capital status. Curial laws were enacted under this era, most notably the Code of Laws and Judicial Act which were both later adopted by Varkonia. Although originally necessary due to the small population and the lack of laws within the settlement territories,

=== Civil War ===
''9th November 2018 - 14th November 2018 (5 days)''
This short-lived system was a result of the Monarch branding her government as traitors and installing herself as an absolute monarch, starting the Gabonese civil war. This would be the last time that Jamietech would hold a government position in Gabon.

This system presided over the recovery from the previous conflict, putting funding into expansion and construction projects across Salisbury. Being a Mercantile Republic was seen as a complex and complicated system by many of the citizens and government members alike leading to the reforms that would result in the creation of the Chancellery Act.

=== Reform Era ===
''10th January 2019 - Present (308 days as of November 13th 2019)''
This system has governed over the largest expansion and growth period to occur to the Capital and the greater borough of Salisbury. Economic and population growth has rewarded this system of government and its citizens with an unprecedented era of stability, making this the longest unchanged government in Gabonese history. <br />
