Ah yeah - thanks.  Hey, it's 4:25am here...  hehe

In Australia, we have Shire Offices that represent a collection of small
towns geographically co-located.
I'm in the Golden Plains Shire.  We go to the Counsel's office for things
like rubbish collection, water rates, house rates, etc.
Rates are basically taxes.  I think a Shire and a County are similar in
function.

And thanks to Tom for the correct name of Honor's company.
Grayson was the name of the world that started out as the "poorer cousins",
but ended up out-producing Manticore in ship building.
There has to be Traveller fodder there...
