 {{See also|List of counties in Alexandria}}
-The State is divided into 117 counties across the six regions. Some counties have been named for prominent figures in Cartadanian history, and many bear names relevant to their geography or features. Counties in Alexandria have their own elected legislative branch, usually called the Board of Supervisors, which usually also has executive authority in the county. Alexandria's constitution provides all counties and cities with "{{wp|home rule}}" authority. The county boards have considerable power to pass legislation within their county, similar to how cities would.
+Alexandria, like many states in Cartadania, is divided into counties, a system established in the colonial era by Caphiria. The 117 counties are spread across six regions, each with its own unique history and geography. Some counties bear the names of notable figures in Cartadanian history, while others reflect their distinct physical features. Each county in Alexandria has its own elected legislative branch, known as the Board of Supervisors, which also exercises executive authority in the county. These county boards enjoy a significant degree of autonomy, as enshrined in Alexandria's constitution. Under the principle of "home rule" authority, they have the power to pass legislation within their county, much like cities.
-Alexandria recognizes all local units of government as cities, so all incorporated towns are legally cities by virtue of commonwealth law. While Alexandria does not provide for independent cities like [[Acara]], [[Aleira]], or [[Triessa]], it does allow {{wp|consolidated city-county}} governments by way of a local referendum, of which two exist–[[Alexandria City, Alexandria|Alexandria City]] and [[New Venceia]].
+In Alexandria, all incorporated towns are legally designated as cities by virtue of state law. However, unlike some other states, Alexandria does not provide for {{wp|independent city|independent cities}}. Instead, it allows for {{wp|consolidated city-county}} governments through local referendums. Currently, two such governments exist in the state: [[Alexandria City]] and [[New Venceia]]. The county system in Alexandria provides for a balance of local control and state oversight, allowing for greater responsiveness to the needs and concerns of citizens. The names of the counties themselves reflect the rich history and diversity of the state, while the system of local government provides opportunities for community participation and civic engagement.
