Political Subdivisions
In Appenzell Innerrhoden districts are the lowest administrative division: the canton is not subdivided into municipalities. Because of that, for firefighting, energy and water, the town of Appenzell has a special-purpose municipality, the Feuerschaugemeinde.
The Canton is divided into 6 districts:
- Appenzell
- Gonten
- Oberegg
- Rüte
- Schlatt-Haslen
- Schwende

Famous quotes containing the word political:
“The man possessed of a dollar, feels himself to be not merely one hundred cents richer, but also one hundred cents better, than the man who is penniless; so on through all the gradations of earthly possessions—the estimate of our own moral and political importance swelling always in a ratio exactly proportionate to the growth of our purse.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
