Zanoma Regional Administration

The Zanoma Regional Administration - ZRA (Zanoma Do-ro'ik Vong), is a province of League-occupied Varshan located in the northeast region of the country. It is bordered by (Kiravian region) to the east, (Urcean region) to the west and south, and Corummese Xisheng to the north. It has a population of 86.5 million of mostly ethnic Varshani natives, and its capital is Tizro. Created under League of Nations auspices after the end of the war in Varshan it is governed by the Party of Varshan Democrats with military support of its Corummese benefactors.

History
The territory administered by the ZRA was previously known as the Corummese Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (COETA) and encompassed twelve Varshani districts captured during the Xisheng offensive, later merged and consolidated into just seven. The military occupation authorities handed over administrative control to the forces of the Party of Varshan Democrats in 2027. Since the city of Shimrra was too irradiated to be occupied, the city of Tizro was chosen as the alternative administrative center. Corummese ground troops mostly pulled back across the new border to Xisheng, handling security control to Cooperative Varshan Army units. They continued however to provide air support against the Army of the National Homeland insurrection.

Almost immediately upon taking over, regional administrator Nas Mecama ordered the closure of the regional borders citing security concerns and a lack of means to feed and house any further refugees from other parts of the nation. The Tizro Refugee Center built by Corummese military authorities was overflowing, housing at least twice the originally designated amount of people. Up to half a million more were eking out an existence in makeshift camps with no running water, electricity or sanitation services. The administration's top priorities are guaranteeing local food supplies by ensuring enough manpower is available for the seasonal harvest, restarting some semblance of an economy and taxation(currently completely dependent on Corummese financial aid) and sustainably settling the refugees already inside the region, while keeping tabs on possible radical arzalist and ANH supporters. Plans to bring back a reformed caste system are under analysis to try and resucitate the economy, in defiance of League mandates.

Economy
The regional economy was completely decimated by the war and the emancipation of the slave population. The burning of millions of hectares of forest during the Corummese offensives hit the local timber industry hard. A League funded program of tree planting is in the initial stages of implementation, with a goal of planting three million trees by 2030, hoping to rebuild the timber sector in a sustainable way. The destruction of the city of Shimrra wiped around 45% of local GDP, so most new economic development is being planned in and around Tizro. Mimban Corporation has bought the concessions to several emerald mines in the area, recruiting internal refugees to work in them.
