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 [[Dhearg River|Dhearg]] (Red) River and [[Snaight River|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.  

==History==

===Antiquity===

===Conquest and Vicarial Era===

Main Article: [[Tundra Wars]]

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.

===Monarchic Era===

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.

===Republican Era===

After the Civil War, Lyukquar was reorganized as a single province.
