Wards
There are twelve wards in Ikan, officially established in 1926 to better administrate the capital. Initially, there were only eight, with the rest being added over the course of the next ninety-four years. Below are the wards of Ikan:: The wards were, in years passed, cities of their own, and in many respects, they maintain that status within Ikan, though to a lessened degree. They have their own elected mayors who, in turn, make up the city's council. Ultimately, the mayor of the Ikas ward is seen as the overall mayor of the city as a whole.
