Dissolution
Definition¶
The dissolution of one municipality and the distribution of its territory among two municipalities, neither of which is newly created. The original municipality ceases to exist as a legal-administrative entity.
Implication of the change¶
Before (year t):
- Municipalities A (with id 11), B (with id 2), and C (with id 3) exist as separate entities, each with its own name, id, and territory.
After (year t + 1):
- Municipality A was dissolved, and its entire territory was distributed between Municipalities B and C.
- Municipalities B and C did not change their names or ids.
