Falcon Federal District

(Governmental buildings not included)

The **Falcon Federal District (FFD),** commonly referred to as the **Federal District,** or simply, as the **Capital**, is the capital city region of the Falcon Federation. The Falcon Federal District was founded on August 28, 2021, pursuant to the "National Capitol Act", passed by the Pre-First Election Parliament. The Falcon Federal District was founded in the aftermath of the conflict between the pro-states faction, which advocated for the establishment of national subdivisions in Falcon, and the pro-unitary faction, which advocated for a unitary model of government, similar to that of the Federalist Republic. As a compromise, the Speaker came together with Member of Parliament Darth Bane to draft the "National Capitol Act", which became the only national subdivision of the otherwise unitary Falcon Federation.

## Area

The Falcon Federal District alone, excluding governmental buildings, consist of one category, entitled the "Falcon Federal District". This category consist of six channels: the downtown of the Falcon Federal District, the district announcements, the district council, the district court, the Secret Service headquarters, which is closed to the public, and the "Fuck Hat" Memorial, which is only open on the 27th day of every month.

## Powers

The Falcon Federal District was granted special powers pursuant to the "National Capitol Act". For example, the national capital city may self-manage the affairs of the federal district, including creating its own laws, provided that such laws do not conflict with that of the Parliament of the Falcon Federation at-large. The national capital city was also offered the ability to be named by its constituents after a public poll, with the best name selected as winner. However, no such public poll has taken place as of yet due to the lack of a sufficient amount of entries for the best name.
