Wards of Tangier

Tangier is divided into 6 wards: Tangier Island, Nassau Island, Northpoint, Luckman, Tanden, and Mount Vinings. The wards also comprise the entirety of Tangier County. The wards were formed in 1923, with the merge of Tangier, Nassau, Northpoint, Luckman, and Tanden (also including Mt. Vinings). Before, Northpoint was more populous than Tangier, and was the largest city in the URT.

## Tangier Island

Tangier Island is the second smallest and most densely populated borough, with a population of 1.82 million as of 2020. It is the center of urban development in Tangier, home to over 80 skyscrapers (over 150 meters). Tangier's "downtown", known as "Center City", is located in the southeastern corner of the island, and was the location of the original settlement of Tangier by the Anglish. It is often considered the financial, cultural, and entertainment capital of the world. The ward consists of Tangier Island itself and Ronett Island, to the southwest.

## Northpoint

Located to the north of Tangier Island, Northpoint is the most populated ward in Tangier, with a population of 2.45 million. It is known for its historic architecture and buildings, and its art scene. It is the most ethnically diverse ward in Tangier. In the east, it has a coast with the open Bay of Tarnathia, with several sandy beaches that have turned parts of it into a resort city. South of these beaches is the namesake North Point, the northern entrance to Tangier Harbor. It is known for its ethnic cuisine, mainly in places such as Leshantown, Little Catalina, and Teresia Street.

## Nassau Island

To the south of Tangier island is the smaller Nassau Island. It has a population of 1.02 million. The ward is comprised of the namesake island and a small area of land on the mainland, often referred to as "South Nassau". Due to its location directly across from Center City, it has a number of skyscrapers and high rises in the north, and shares a similar culture to Tangier Island. On the mainland portion of the ward, where Nassau Creek splits from the Tangier River, is Nassau Island International Airport (NIIA), the only international airport within city limits.

## Luckman

Situated North of western Tangier Island and east of Northpoint is Luckman. It has a population of 964,284. Being farther from Center City, it is less densely populated then the closer boroughs, but urban areas still exist in the south near the Tangier River. It also has several industrial areas near the river, making it the most industrial ward.

## Tanden

Tanden is the largest ward by land area, taking up most of the south bank of the Tangier River from Nassau Island to the western city border. It has a population of 1.23 million. Similar to Luckman, it has urban areas closer to Center City and is suburban farther away. Tanden has a smaller downtown area with a few high rises in the northeastern corner. Tanden is known for its many universities and tech companies.

## Mount Vinings

Mt. Vinings is the smallest and least populated ward in Tangier, with a population of 398,582. It is the only ward that doesn't border the Tangier River or ocean and unlike the other wards is mainly suburban. It is known for its many affluent developments and modern mansions. Due to its differences from the other wards, there is a movement to seperate from the city and become a seperate city in Riverbank or South County.
