Where is Somerset? 
 Somerset is in South West England. 
 What can you tell me about the local government? 
 There are 4 districts of Somerset, Taunton, South Somerset, Mendip and Sedgemoor. 
 Are they a democracy? 
 I do not have that information, I can tell you in 2016 councils agreed to merge the district into 1 subject to consultation. 
 Can you tell me about the toponymy? 
 The old English name is used in the motto of the country. 
 Anything else interesting? 
 The pier Burnham was used for commercial goods, one of the reasons for the Joint railway was to link the Bristol channel and the english channel. 
 Thank you. 
 You are welcome.
