Counties of Ananto

The Kalistani Province of Ananto is divided into 64 administrative districts known as counties. There is some variation in these district's governing form, and they can be grouped into Counties, Regional Counties, Munisipal Counties, and Historical Counties. In addition, the capital city of Kaliburg and its neighbor Port Davon are part of autonomous Kaliburg-Port Davon Federal District also known as Kaliburg-Port Devon Autonomous Region.

Lt. General David Carter was appointed as Governor General for the province of Anantao on Sept 4874 by President Joseph Steele.He will report directly to Head of State

Anantao is also a federal state of Republic of Kalistan. It was recognised as per the Anandrao Administration Act.Governor General is the Chief Administration & Political Head of the Region

The Counties of Ananto date back to 1420, when Jorge I the Magnificent, Emperor of Ananto, divided his island into strictly drawn fiefs, each of which was given to a Count on the Council of Nobles (which served as a largely powerless legislature until 1907). These borders have changed a great deal, as have their ruling houses, but survive to this day as the chief administrative units of Ananto.

Regional Counties

Regional Counties

These counties are located on the historically sparsely populated east coast, but were subdivided into buroughs in 1913 because their populations had grown too large for many of the governments. The historical counties survive for formal purposes, but all the duties of the county are carried out by the smaller buroughs, which are given letters. Buroughs do not have counts or houses. Each borough sends a representative to the state legislature, like a county.

Historical Duchies

While these counties still exist officially, they have no officials, offices, counts, or powers, because they were absorbed by the Kaliburg-Port Davon Federal District ,also known as Kaliburg -Port Davon Autonomous Region. Therefore they are also completely unrepresentated in the Legislation Assembly. These two counties are also different in that they are in fact Duchies, not Counties.They have recognised as Autonomous Administration Divisions as per the Anantao Administration Act

Dr. Liam C Jones was appointed as Officer on special duty / Commissioner for Kaliburg-Port Davon Federal District

Blazons and Coats of Arms

The Houses of the Counts of Ananto (as well as the Duchies of Davon and Kaliburg) are Kalistani High Houses, and thus have certain restrictions and priviledges in Kalistani Heraldry.  Firstly, they are restricted to certain traditional symbols, rather than the more modern symbols allowed to Low Houses and Minor Houses.  Secondly, they are allowed only the following tinctures and furs on their blazons:  For tinctures: Or, Argent, Azure, Gules, Purpure, Vert, Sable, Murrey, Sanguine, and Tenne.  Note that Kalistani Heraldry does not follow the rule of tinctures, thus the separation between metals, tinctures and stains is not important.  The following furs are allowed to high houses: Ermine, Ermines, Erminois, Paen, Vair, Counter-Vair, Potent, and Counter-Potent, all of which must be in their traditional colors.  Finally, High Houses may not show any charge proper.  For example, when the House of Fletcher-Ananto was elevated to the status of a High House, their blazon, which originally included three anchors proper was changed to Three Anchors Tenne.

However, the High Houses, and specifically, the  are allowed to use the following:  Supporters may be shown with the arms outside of the House's home territory, though like all Kalistani Heraldry, Supporters are only used in the Fancy, rather than Common Form.  Additionally, the Fancy form may use a Crest.  For the House of the current Emperor, the crest is an Ippogoggy proper, crowned Or, Rampant battling a Serpent cendree.  For all other Counts of Ananto, it is an Ippogoggy Rampant Proper.   This is despite the fact that cendree and proper are not normally allowed in High House blazons.

When the House of House of Dulnar-Hohenzollern was demoted to a Minor House and removed from the Damask Rose Throne of  Isle of Dunlock due to their treasonous actions in the Third Crisis, they were originally supposed to lose both the countercharging (normally a mark of honor) from their arms, and to accept a mark of Abatement.  However, a deal was made in which three of their mainland holdings would be overseen by House Labanca (The Counts of Noella) and those houses were marked with a mullet celeste and the main charge of House Labanca (a pelican in her peity) instead.  Due to their demotion, however, they could not use Supporters outside of their home territory, and were stripped of thier Crest.

The following blazons are in the House's Common Form:

Blabbaroon

From 1432 until 1907, the 64 Counts of Ananto met in the Blabaroon (literally Council of Nobles, a term often used because it is more easily taken seriously) to act as the legislature of Kalistan. The council was originally formed as a feudal legislature meant to appoint a new king upon the death of the previous monarch, and levy troops. Starting in the 16th century the powers of the council began to increase dramatically. In 1813 two representatives from Vintalli joined the blabaroon (the Dukes of Vintalli). In 1907, the blabaroon was abolished and replaced with the hoomooroon (Council of Men), wherein each county/borough/metropolitan district elected a representative. With the foundation of the Federal Republic of Kalistan in 1924, the legislature of the island of Ananto ceased to rule the entire land of Kalistan, a duty which fell to the federal parliament (translated into Anantonese as, of course, blabaroon). The hoomooroon remained as the local provincial (later state) legislature of Ananto, a purpose which it still serves today. Notable reforms are that the Federal District does not send any representatives, and that the boroughs and metropolitan districts of Luxise, Evearia, and Dulnar send their own. The counties retain their historical borders, first set out in the 1400's, for ceremonial purposes, largely to keep historians, monarchists, and noblemen happy.
