Provinces of Prizyetsa

The United Federation of Prizyetsa is divided into twelve provinces.

Provinces

Issla Province

Issla Province (Priz: Isslälannädel) lies at the heart of Prizyetsa, and contains the capital district of Venbruä. Historically speaking, it is often recognized as being the capital region of a united Prizyetsa, and idea which has only ben reinforced in recent times by the presence of the national capital within it's borders.The capital and seat of the provincial government is Vosto, which is also the second largest city in the province. The largest city is Venbruä.

Historically, Issla has always been referred to as the heart of Prizyetsa. This name is due to a number of reasons, though the most important was it's geographical position; Issla province sits at the end of the Innlannäsjo (Eng: Inland Sea) far from would be invaders given that the lands to the south (Fronten Province) served as a buffer from any incursions made by the Kauvaran city states.

The coat of arms of the province feature a blue wave due it's association to the sea, two red fir trees which represent the vast expanses of forest which still cover the hill-lands of the province today. All of this sits on a golden background, representing the province's wealth and prosperity.

Fronten Province

Fronten Province (Priz: Frontenälann) is the southernmost province of mainland Prizyetsa. The capital and seat of the provincial government is Ytteborg, which is also the largest city in the province. As the frontier with Kauvara to the south, Fronten Province is the most influenced by Kauvaran culture, and as such it is home to the largest population of Kauvarans outside of Kauvara. Fronten Province is often seen as the linking element between the two countries.

Ytteborg, the province's capital, is one of seven Prizyetsi fortress cities. The old city center is still surrounded by the ancient walls of which sections date back to around the third century, making this one of the oldest fortifications of this size on the continent, as well as the region as a whole.

The coat of arms of the province feature a local type of traditional picket fence found in the region, symbolizing the frontier or border with Prizyetsa's southern and western neighbors. The background is split vertically and colored green and white, referring to the Kauvaran wilderness to the south, and the relatively open terrain to the north.

Sorlänn Province

Sorlänn Province (Priz: Den Sorlänn) is the thirs largest province, and is made up flat fertile land. For this reason, it is referred to as the bread-basket of the Federation, and suits the agricultural needs of a majority of the nation. The capital and seat of the provincial government is Roensby, which is also the largest city in the province.

Sorlänn has always been the envy of the numerous kingdoms and city states that make up the modern day Federation due to the richness of the province's soil. Over the ages, Sorlänn has fed nearly every one of these states either through trade, or having been conquered by them directly. Because of this, Sorlänn is considered by many Prizyetsi to be a "new" province compared to the others, though historians argue otherwise.

The province's coat of arms feature a diagonal blue line, representing the many rivers which run from the Rykgrat mountains to the north to the Innlännsjo to the south, making the land very fertile. Within this blue stripe there sits a golden stalk of wheat, symbolizing the fertility and prosperity of the province. All of this sits on a golden background, representing the province's wealth and prosperity, a feature the province has always boasted thanks to it's fertility.
