A village is a type of settlement, which is smaller than a town but larger than a hamlet. Villages are required to contain anywhere between 500 to 5000 inhabitants, and can also include an extra neighborhood to supplement the main neighborhood. Under the Settlement Act, villages become towns when their population reaches 5000, and become hamlets if their population fall under 500.
