Alcanzar

The province of Alcanzar is one of the largest provinces of the Kythiran Empire in terms of size, only being outsized by the Golden Province of Ardoragh. Despite its size, Alcanzar is extremely sparsely populated, the majority of its population living in the capital city of Solleria.

Economy

The Alcanzari economy depends mostly on the Imperial Forestry Company, whilst most employment is provided by the Mediori Sea Fleet. The province of Alcanzar is considered the most economically weak of the Empire, as most of the land and resources remain uncultivated due to the Golden Province system of the Kythiran Empire, which limits what each province can produce, allowing the Alcanzari to only produce raw wood related products, compared to Camuria's mines and Ardoragh's unique laissez-faire capitalistic system.

Politics

Alcanzar, although a Golden Province, today remains without a High-Lord, which contributes to the province's general stagnation. Officially it is ruled from the Castle of Verano, which stands above the city of Solleria. However, de jure it is ruled by decree from the White-Gold Tower until a new High-Lord has been appointed.

Geography

The province of Alcanzar is due to her size quite diverse, maintaining control over the Southern Sea and all islands in it, the largest snow biome in Kythira, and the unique Red Mountain. Most of this territory remains unused however, in great contrast with the wealthy Ardoragh, which is both larger and houses a large array of towns, cities and other man-made structures.

Since Alcanzar is not protected by a great wall, as opposed to the Heartlands, Riverlands and Camuria, it instead relies on a large amount of castles, fortresses and armed towers to defend the province.

Territorial Disputes

In recent years the Imperius Reich has filed several complaints with the Minecraftia Forum and the Kythiran Empire over the Alcanzar Peninsula, a large peninsula consisting of four islands, which splits the Narrow Sea and the Southern Sea. So far the Kythiran Empire has however rejected all these claims, and has continued to fortify and expand the peninsula.
