Nogoa Division

The Nogoa Division was a local government area located in the Capricornia region of Central Queensland, Australia.

History

On 11 November 1879, the Nogoa Division was established as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1251.[1] However, the residents failed to elect a board and those appointed to the board by the Queensland Government failed to take any action. The division was described in 1881 as "inoperative"[2] and the Queensland Government attempted to persuade neighbouring divisions to take over the management of Nogoa Division but without success.[3]

About 10 years of inaction followed, before it was decided to abolish Nogoa and split the area across a number of neighbouring divisions. Gogango Division acquired approximately 1000 square miles of very sparsely populated land.[4]

gollark: That's basically what I said (the extra volume of halloween stuff mucks up the ratios).
gollark: Any opinions on my theory of what's going on with the pricing? Basically, I said that if extra dragons are introduced to the total but not the rest of the system (golds, whatever else), then rarer stuff's ratios will be affected more than common stuff, so the gold pricing goes crazy and nebulae stay the same.
gollark: 3.
gollark: My theory of what's up, copied from the forum thread:If many new eggs are being introduced to the system, then that will most affect the stuff which is rarest, by making it rarer by comparison, but commons will stay the same. As for why it happened now? Weekly updates, possibly.Example:Imagine there are 200 dragons, 5 of which are golds.The ratio of golds to total dragons is now 5:200 = 1:40. If the target ratio is 1:50 then prices will be higher to compensate.Now imagine there are an extra 200 dragons added, none of which are golds.The ratio would then be 5:400 = 1:80. Then, assuming the same target, prices will drop.This is of course simplified, and the ratios may not work like this, but this matches observed behavior pretty well.
gollark: That why was rhetorical.
