Prior to this, the subdivision was an independent group of third-level divisions, known as parishes.

Its position on the basins of both rivers, along with its warm climate earn the city the nickname “Sunshine Basin”.

The city hosts all three branches of the Woqalate, the Qangreč (legislative), the Crown (executive), and both the Imperial and Tribunal Courts (judicial), and the Teklan, a fortified citadel consisting of government buildings that house most of the Woqalate, including the Na’atlens, the Qangreč Hall, the Tribunal Hall, and multiple executive departments and agencies.

Etymology
The name "Taisgol" was derived from a Pelaxian mistranslation of the Qabóri word taisagola, which roughly translates to "lower valley".
History
Law & government
Government
Politics
Crime
Taisgol's crime rate in 2030 was 2,643 per 100,000 people, the second-highest in Tierrador, only behind Qabór. During the Walakee State, Taisgol experienced major rises in violent crime, especially throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Throughout this point in time, Taisgol earned a reputation of being one of the most dangerous cities in not just Tierrador, but the entire Cronan continent. Taisgol's biggest criminal justice struggles have changed little over the last 50 years, and statistically reside with homicide, armed robbery, gang violence, and aggravated battery. Taisgol has attracted attention for a high murder rate and perceived crime rate compared to other major global cities like Urceopolis and Alstin City.
Violent crime rates in Taisgol usually depend on whatever neighborhood in question. For example, the neighborhoods of Tasokee, Kolkalee, and Goa Terra, which anchor the southern end of the city limits, typically see violent crime rates up to ten times higher than other neighborhoods. It is estimated that there are over 104,000 gang-affiliated residents from over 55 reported factions. It is widely believed that most of the crime seen in the city is derived from illicit drug trade, which, ironically, skyrocketed during the reign of the Walakee-led police state. Taisgol has a long history of public corruption and media suppression, which, in most situations, has attracted the attention of the Imperial Government. The Conniegate scandal in 2015 saw 64 TCU-affiliated politicians, 14 of which were actively serving in the Taisgol General Assembly, were removed in the middle of a session and charged for allegedly taking illegal campaign contributions over a 7-year period. Most corruption cases are settled and prosecuted by the Imperial Court, due to convenience.
