Provinces and Cities

These are the seven Provinces of the Republic, including their capital cities and the two largest cities after that, as well as current governors and city governors.

The population of the country as a whole was recorded at around 10,287,650 in January, 1920. The number was recorded due to the country's size but also due to the lack of industrial and economic sustainability at the time of it being recorded.

Königsland
Königsland is the largest province on the island, represented by a distinguished red flag. It sits on the east and south-east of the island, and holds a population containing a mix of European, British, Gaelic and Scandinavian heritage, and holds the island's capital, Roessen, in its core. The largest two cities alongside it are Verringen and Apelter. The population sits at approximately 2,057,530, making it the most populated province in the country.

Königsland was majorly turned left wing as a result of the 1920 election, aside from one independent seat, given to Franz Hildebrand.

Viva Las Verringen!
Königsland finance soon became strongly concentrated and developed in one major city, Verringen. What had once been a regular and working city, soon became a home of entertainment and the aristocracy. Franz Hildebrand's position as the City Governor for Verringen oversaw the transformation of what was a regular city corrupt with organised crime, into the Viva Las Verringen! that it became known as, using funding from businessmen such as Wilhelm Moritz as well as secretive Mafia aid.

Wolfszing
Wolfszing is the north-east province, represented by a distinguished grey flag. It holds a population of a staunchly German and Scandinavian mix, who are exceptionally nationalistic and sceptical of the British and Gaelic populations, and have been since the mass migration program of 1919. The capital city of the province is Lustendorf, with Klingsingen and Kirchfelden as the second and third largest cities. The population sits at approximately 1,543,147, making it the fourth most populated province in the country.

The alcohol and sausage industry in Wolfszing, as well as several aspects of German engineering, from vehicles to war machines, have made it an industrial and agricultural centre for German culture, which is where it earns most of its revenue. The Jewish majority in Kirchfelden, however, have widely moved away from this sense of German nationalism, in favour of Jewish culture and traditions.

Großer Klee
Großer Klee is the north-west and west province, represented by a distinguished dark blue flag. It holds a population of strongly British and Irish, and is seen by many as a socialist and liberal fighting ground. Großer Klee and Wolfszig have undergone several border changes as border nationalities change, which could become a new government priority. The capital of the province is Hartberg, with Kilnes and Boulles as its two largest cities afterwards. The population sits at approximately 1,748,900, making it the third most populated province in the country.

Großer Klee is an industrial powerhouse, filled with British and Irish migrant workers. Factories and workhouses litter the city, which makes up the majority of its consumer goods, often neglected in places like Wolfszing.

Anderlaas
Anderlaas is a landlocked province, connected to Königsland, Wolfszig, Großer Klee and Sarmont, represented by a distinguished green flag. It has a population of predominantly Swiss investors and some Germans. It is seen as the economic centre of the island, being home to the Roessen Central Bank, stored in its capital of Artry. Donelow and Herbeck are its second and third largest cities. The population sits at approximately 1,337,394, making it the fifth most populated province in the country.

Sarmont
Sarmont is a landlocked province, connected to Königsland, Anderlaas, Großer Klee, Freinau and Dornhal, represented by a distinguished orange flag. Like Königsland, it has a varied population, but was mapped accordingly as to not conflict the provinces of Königsland and Großer Klee. Its border with Anderlaas is covered by a mountainous region known as the Rupprecht Region, making travel difficult between the two provinces. Its capital city is Valon, with Erschwil and Gorstadt as the two largest cities after it. The population sits at approximately 1,851,777, making it the second most populated province in the country.

Dornhal
Dornhal is a province in the central south of the island, represented by a distinguished purple flag. It is a heritage site, containing war monuments used by the British to prevent a German re-invasion of the island after its Allied capture in 1917. Because of this, Dornhal has a strong British population. Goernitz is its capital city, with Bunschton and Neunitz as the two largest cities after it. The population sits at approximately 1,028,765, making it the sixth most populated province in the country.

Freinau
Freinau is a province in the south-west of the island, represented by a distinguished yellow flag. It is seen as the fishing port of the island, holding some claims to territorial waters in the North Sea. Its population is a mix of German and British. Rivierport is its capital, with Herrefin and Bismarck as its two largest cities after it. Bismarck used to be the capital city of the island, until the Treaty of Versailles. The population sits at around 720,135, making it the least populated province in the country.

City Governors
City Governors can make city-only laws, the same way a mayor can, as well as command the local constabulary. They are also in charge of the infrastructure and districts of their own city, including investments, roads, tourist sites, rail services and bus services. They can also set city-wide taxes, and receive private funding from businesses within their areas.

Provincial Governors
Provincial Governors can overrule City Governors on decisions, however, if they feel it would not work with the province as a whole. They have total command of the provincial constabulary, and can dictate what happens inside, as well as outside of the cities, like road designs, taxes, etc.

Both the Provincial and City Governors can be overruled by the Chancellor, as seen with what happened in the Kirchfelden Aggression.
