Note that, in order to have some consistency, we're always writing

Once you have CONSUL running on the server, there are some basic configuration options that you probably want to define in order to start using it.

## Definition of Geozones
Geozones are smaller territorial areas than the area in which you use CONSUL \(e.g. districts in a city in which CONSUL is used\). If the geozones are activated, it will allow for example that the citizen proposals are assigned to a specific area, or that the votings are restricted to people living in some area.
