Settlement Classification

Highland's settlements are classed as either Villages, Towns, Cities or Principalities.

Principalities are administrative villages, which are classed separately to regular villages due to a large impact on surrounding areas, such as economy or power. These can house residents but are often used for businesses.

As of 2018, Highland has 3 principalities:

Fivetrees (Southern Hills, Farsk), Camberchester (Pipermall), Jayport (Holmselley)

Cities are the largest settlements in Highland and can often contain several villages or even whole towns within the area. Highland has 13 cities as of October 2018.

Cities do not generally require a certain population amount.

The largest city by population is Drum (467,350) while the smallest is Hollywood (26,665).

Towns are non-cities, though are much more common. These are usually major areas, especially if more rural. Some towns are part of suburban city areas, such as Holts, Drum's largest suburb, which is also classed as a town.

In Highland, a Town has a minimum of 5,000 residents. Any town with a population of over 30,000 is classed as a Large Town.

As of October 2018, Highland has 40 towns with a population of over 10,000. The county with the most towns is Drum & Colby, or Hurshing County if counting outside of the capital.

The largest town in Highland is Holts, (119,627) or Rawdon (60,880) if counting outside of the capital.

The smallest town in Highland is disputed, though many agree that it is Cinderstead, Portsboroughshire, with 3,655 residents. The town lies about 10 miles south of Pitt and is rural.

Villages are small areas, with no more than a few thousand at most. These are only minor settlements which average only a few hundred residents.

An official document from the government in 2017 confirmed that villages could house up to 15,000 people - and if larger, will be classed as a town.

As of October 2018, the largest village is Towerhill, West Pipermall.

While the smallest village is deemed almost impossible to determine, Holmselley has the lowest average settlement population with 1,220. In comparison, Drum & Colby's average is 41,000.
