DISTRICT 21 OF 73
keeper of the first prime after seven thousand
WORKING NAME — PROVISIONAL UNTIL THIS DISTRICT NAMES ITSELF BY BALLOT
Computed by the Secretary. Nobody voted on it.
Surveyed, named and drawn by the Secretary, computed from the district's number and a published seed — the whole Atlas is here. At twenty-five confirmed seats this district votes on its own name, and whatever it picks replaces this outright.
JUSTICE
District 21 has never sanctioned anybody.
District 21's sanction record and any charge now running. A sanction can cost a member an address; it can never touch a seat, a vote, or a candidacy, and the record stays here forever.
This page is permanent and it is the district's, not any member's. What a government did is published here in full and forever, because the record attaches to the power, not to the person. The member's own page says whether something is in effect and never says why.
The ledger
Nothing has ever been charged here. That is the ordinary state of a district and this page will say so for as long as it stays true.
This season’s arithmetic
CENSURE 0/3 · THE BENCH 0/3 · EXILE 0/3
Three of each rung per district per season, and one live sanction per member per season. The caps are on the government rather than on anybody's conduct: a district that has spent them has spent them until the season turns.
How this works
- Censure — a published minute of disapproval. It takes nothing away.
- The Bench — a fortnight without the pen and without office. Never the ballot, never candidacy.
- Exile — a season in the Interior, and the right to come home to the district of your number afterwards.
The Secretary is the sole finder of fact: a report is upheld by the desk and by nobody else, and a district may cite an upheld finding but can never produce one. A censure is an act of the district's government. The Bench and exile are district ballots at Article VI quorum, carried only by two thirds of the seats that answer — a tie dismisses the charge, and no beacon and no chance is ever consulted about a sanction. Nothing on this page touches anybody's vote or candidacy, in any circumstance; electoral immunity is absolute, and no sanction may even be charged during a district's campaign fortnight or election week.
