The Second City Districts were six clear districts carefully stratified, each of which served a particular function for the city as a whole. [1]
Imperial District[]
The innermost portion of the Second City, sometimes called the Old City, was typically called the Imperial District. [1] It housed the most relevant citizens and guests of the Second City. [2]
Military District[]
The Military District was a huge rectangular fortification which completely enclosed the Imperial District. [1]
Temple District[]
The Temple District was the first district to be created after the city grew beyond the walls of the Military District on its eastern edge. A secondary wall was built to protect this district. It was the Second City's primary center of religion and academic study. [3]
Merchant District[]
The Merchant District adjoined the core of the city along its western edge. [4] It housed the most relevant shops, wares and business of the Second City. [5]
Artisan District[]
The Artisan District was the most beautiful district. Adjoining the Merchant District to its south, artisans and places for amusement as theaters and geisha houses could be found there. [4]
Peasant District[]
The Peasant District in the southern part of the city, was the least orderly district. Standard of living for most peasants was higher than in the Empire. [4]
