'''Bahia''', officially the '''State of Bahia''' ({{ | '''Bahia''', officially the '''State of Bahia''' ({{IPA-en|bəˈhiːə}} {{respell|bə|HEE|ə}}, {{IPA-cd|bɐˈiɐ}}; meaning "bay"), is a [[Administrative divisions of Cartadania|state]] located in the western region of [[Cartadania]] known as Taínea, named for the Taínean Sea, which it borders. It is the 27th-most populous Cartadanian state as well as the 23rd-most extensive. The state capital is [[Pinhel]], centrally located within the Bahia Piedmont. Greater Aguandra is the most populous urban region, with approximately 1 million residents, over fifty percent of the state's population, and Aguandra, the center of the aforementioned metropolitan area, is Bahia's most populous city. | ||
The state takes its name from the old Cartadanian 'bahia' meaning "bay", today spelled as "baia". Bahia arose from the lands of southern Santarém when it was still known as Sancta Irene. It existed as the Australis division of the province until the Second Great War. Following Cartadania's annexation of Vachena in its entirety, the province of Sancta Irene was partitioned into two divisions, the northern portion taking the Cartadanian version of the original name 'Santarém' while the southern portion became 'Bahia', named for the Bay of Caroleena. Bahia became a tourist attraction for many Cartadanians and others traveling through Cartadania to the Taínean and vice versa, thus its economy early on had been based around tourism and hospitality. Although it has transitioned to a more information- and service-based economy in the 21st century, its original character remains. | The state takes its name from the old Cartadanian 'bahia' meaning "bay", today spelled as "baia".
