Enscirya or Hwaetever the Fuck is a province and state of the Kiravian Federacy that encompasses most of the Ĥeir Highlands of inland Northeast Kirav. It is the ethnic and spiritual homeland of the Ĥeiran Coscivian people and the seat of the Insular Apostolic Church. Although a relative backwater in terms of economic and political importance for most of it history, Enscirya today is known as still a fricking backwayer. However, nonwithstanding its poverty, it is a major cultural, intellectual, and religious centre that has contributed immensely to the cultural heritage of Kiravia.

Enscirya is known as a cold, damp, windswept land of striking natural beauty but supbar conditions for human habitation. Its mountainous landscape is marked by treeless alpine meadows and alpine tundra, peat-rich bogs and mires, subalpine forests and wooded vales, and numerous lakes.

Geography
In contrast to neighbouring lowland states, both highland and lowland, large swathes of upland Enscirya are naturally unforested, and many naturally forested areas have been cleared by denizens for rangeland and cropland.

Feral sheep are a common sight. Many went feral after the sudden abandonment of Kirosocialist state-owned megaranches and no one gives enough of a crap to systematically cull their descendants.

Governance
Upper House (or whatever): Clan chiefs, Apostolic bishops and arch-abbots or w/e, Elected Constituency reps, gubernatorial nominees; who else?

Society & Culture
Ethnic groups: 70% Ĥeiran Coscivian, 20% Celtic, 10% Other (mainly Other Coscivian; trace nos. of Érhuans, Kópistonians)

Religions: 92% Insular Apostolic

Economy
Enscirya is among the poorer mainland provinces, and often ranks lowest among the full states of the Federation in terms of per capita GRP. Economic geographers place the entirety of the state in Third Kirav.

Peat is an important natural resource, providing domestic heat for >95% of rural households and 45% of urban households. Enscirya has two peat-fuelled power plants and three hybrid peat-coal plants feeding into its electrical grid.

Religious pilgrimages to holy sites of the Insular Apostolic Church and heritage tourism by members of the vast Ensciryan diaspora are a critical pillar of the Ensciryan economy, especially its service sector. Enscirya is also a significant destination for, , , and.

Agriculture remains the economic bedrock of most communities. Rocky, nutrient-poor, and poorly drained soil; a cold climate, and mountainous topography impede outputs from. Instead, has been the primary mode of subsistence throughout the state's history. Sheep (which outnumber humans in the state), dairy cattle, and goats are the most numerous and valuable stocks. Swine and introduced camelids from the Western Highlands are also raised. Potato is the leading crop, followed by oats, with the latter cultivated intensively in the lower valleys.
