Lyukquar is roughly two-thirds ethnic Fhainnin or mixed Fhainnin, with the local Lyukqui being a mixed Gaelic-Coscivian people speaking a pidgin language. The region has less than three percent foreign residents, and is the poorest province of Faneria per capita when company holdings are not accounted for. The cities generally are dominated by Catholics and the irreligious, and the countryside is populated roughly equally by pagans, Catholics, and Protestants. Pagan communities primarily live in the lower Deamhainns, while the protestant towns are mainly situated on the rivers. Catholic outposts are most common on the coastal belt and along rail lines, often putting them in proximity to Protestant communities, which suffered serious depletion due to conversions and emigration until the 1910s. | Lyukquar is roughly two-thirds ethnic Fhainnin or mixed Fhainnin, with the local Lyukqui being a mixed Gaelic-Coscivian people speaking a pidgin language.

The Province of Lyukquar is an administrative region within Faneria, spanning from the border of Haibnelann and Sleibann Briste to the west, Connsmonann to the south, the Kilikas Sea to the north, and Caergwynn to the east. It is inhabited by approximately fourteen million people and hosts a significant Protestant minority, with its economic sectors being dominated by timber, fishing, and tourism focused on the outer slopes of the Deamhainn mountains. The local Lyukqui minority is largely admixed with Fhainnin colonists, and Fhasen is the de facto Gaelic dialect.
Geography
The terrain of the territory is heavily defined by the Deamhainn Mountains and its northern coast, and as such varies from low-lying plains in the north to slowly sloped mountains in the south. The climate is typically chilly, and the area sees significant snowing during the winter, leaving port access during the deep winter months a question of luck, or, failing that, icebreaking. Its mountainous areas typically retain snow well into the spring, feeding numerous rivers that host the majority of the local settlements and significant fish stocks. The mountainous areas are heavily wooded in most places by pines, and make for a reliable, although not world-renowned, skiing and winter sports destination.
The countryside is somewhat sparsely populated, and the region is not known for is farming culture, though potatoes and other hardy vegetables do grow reasonably well. Some segments of the lithosphere present are volcanic, but no serious eruptions have occurred within the last several centuries and none are predicted within the foreseeable future. Earthquakes and mudslides, as well as avalanches in the higher areas, are fairly commonplace and programs to mitigate the damages of these events are a significant social and political issue within the area.
The Dhearg (Red) River and Snaight (Carved) Rivers form the major watersheds of the area, along with the Bronnsriver (Abhainn na Bronn) forming the boundary with Haibnelann. The Snaight River also forms the province's border with Caergwynn.
Economy
Lyukquar's largest economic sectors are fishing and timber, followed by wood products, canning, and light industry in the form of several parts and lens manufacture plants. Its economy is growing slower than most areas of Faneria, and wealth inequality is increasing as companies move in and play a larger part of business in the region. Small businesses are stable in the area, as is employment, but the natural resources and logistics of the location make industrialization less than optimal for the private market, leaving available jobs primarily in the blue-collar range.
Politics
The dominant local party is the Party for the Nation of Fhainnaeran, the primary center-left party and second largest party in the country. It typically receives about 40-60% of the votes in the province, followed by the New Way Party (religious center-right) and the Republicans' Starkist faction. The province has fourteen representatives in the Council of the Peoples, four in the Council of the Ways, and two in the High Council.
Demographics
Lyukquar is roughly two-thirds ethnic Fhainnin or mixed Fhainnin, with the local Lyukqui being a mixed Gaelic-Coscivian people speaking a pidgin language. The region has less than three percent foreign residents, and is the poorest province of Faneria per capita when company holdings are not accounted for. The cities generally are dominated by Catholics and the irreligious, and the countryside is populated roughly equally by pagans, Catholics, and Protestants. Pagan communities primarily live in the lower Deamhainns, while the protestant towns are mainly situated on the rivers. Catholic outposts are most common on the coastal belt and along rail lines, often putting them in proximity to Protestant communities, which suffered serious depletion due to conversions and emigration until the 1910s.
The local capital, Lansgadh, is also the largest city in the province, followed by Aberavon and Geoghegan.

Main Article: Tundra Wars
The region was first integrated into Faneria during the Tundra Wars, a series of campaigns spanning over three decades by the Kingdom of the Fhainn to annex the Grand Duchy of Lyukquar and the Kingdom of Reothadt. Following a march through the Deamhainn Mountains, the Royal Army met up with Vicarial troops after sacking several cities, battering the Lyukqui in a series of battles and taking the capital for a second time in 1703. The annexation of Lyukquar was considerably more difficult than Haibnelann, which had been annexed only a little over a decade prior, and the land was slowly converted from a shattered frontier region into two Military Governates, Lyukquar Astaigh and Lyukquar Searastaigh, by 1712. By then the Sutharine Succession Crisis had begun with the births of Sear Mari's sickly triplet sons, and the region became a hotbed of uprising as war raged in the south, with the eventual victory of the Suthar-Màrtainn line leading to a crackdown.
Late Monarchy
Lyukquar's pair of military governments were granted Vicarial status in 1856. In 1881, a third province, Lyukquar Oirthir, was formed out of tracts from the other two Lyukqui Vicariates.
Popular Republic
After the Civil War, Lyukquar was reorganized as a single province.
