Division of Papele

The Division of Papele (/pəˈpɛl/ puh- pell ) is a Craftian federal division in the state of Addams. It was created in 2012 and was first contested at the 2013 federal election. It is named after Vincent Papele (1895–1983), a surveyor and cartographer who demarcated the Holbrook Line, marking the boundary between arable and drought-liable areas of central Addams. The division is Addams' largest by area, and was created with its southern border being the original line, but no longer follows it due to redistributions. It is located in northern Addams, wrapping around in a rotated L-shape from the Jebsten border to near the the Kota region.

The sitting member, since the 2061 federal election, is Jeff Nygaard, a member of the Craftian Conservative Party.
