Srathlann

Srathlann is a province within Faneria, located on the far eastern coast of the Vandarch Sea. It borders Itheachan to the west and Leibhlann to the north, as well as having an international border with the country of Fiannria and its province of (name).

Geography
The borders of Srathlann are largely defined by the Mòr and Deir Rivers. Srathlann is largely flat, with light hills in a few inland regions. The climate is generally warm for most of the year, with a short and moderate winter, and a great deal of the land is arable, with the best running immediately around the major rivers.

Economy
Srathlann is a wealthy province with a large hand in shipping within the Vandarch; it is Faneria's chief port in the eastern sea and even sees some shipping crossing through the Grand Vandarch Canal to reach it rather than closer ports in the west. The province's economy has both a fairly sized crop sector as well as limited ranching and a well-developed maritime construction, salvage, and fishing industry. The higher economy features banking, international communications, systems management and parts manufacturing, with a smaller but growing automotive industry.

Demographics
Srathlann has a large Aenglish minority, as well as a small population of Parvefhainn. The largest popultion center in the province by far is the port city of Spetsford, which since its founding has incorporated its sister city, Sethsport, as well as having a series of orbiting cities, namely including Grenhill and Kilglas, which were originally fort towns established to protect the city. Smaller cities are dotted along the coast and borders, such as Mitchelstown, Mullaghmore, and the misnamed Torrcirit, a former Latin colony named for the Torr River despite sitting on the mouth of the Abhain Deir.

Srathlann's population is more diverse than most of the country, and is richer than average. Literacy is high, as are health indexes.

Antiquity
Srathlann was sparsely populated outside of the coast for much of prehistory, with tribes migrating through the area for more ideal permanent settlements in the central Ninerivers and (name). The local clans adopted horses early, and the area was settled by Latin colonies repeatedly, such as modern Julianstown and Spetsford; however, most of these were repulsed, sacked, or partially assimilated into the local Gaelic tribes, lacking support from their bretheren in the south. The exception to this failure to gain solid roots had a singular exception in the institution of the Catholic Church, which used the area as a launching pad for missions throughout the Ninerivers to great success, at first being integrated as another god within the local pantheons and later supplanting pagan faiths entirely. In the later stages of this conversion by the 13th century, much of Srathlann's coastline was dominated by feudal duchies and baronies loosely confederated under the linneage of the Prince (Dòchas) of Sethsport.
