The unique tidal geography of the southern coast means that the city of Porta Armada is actually comprised of five urban districts around the Litic Lagoon. The districts of Porta Centra, Porta Oeste, Porta Norte, Porta Este, and Porta Sur are functionally all self-contained cities, each with its own emergency services, municipal council, and public services. Due to the inextricable economic and military functions of the metro region, each district remains subordinate to the City Council of Porta Centra, the oldest district. Porta Armada is home to the southern branch of the Corric Maritime Port Authority, the Armada International Airport, the Royal Corric Tourism Board, and the FDCR Command Armada South. The city has a rich cultural history, with a large tourism draw to its architectural landmarks, nightlife, cruise ship terminal, and beaches.
