'''Vitrea''', officially the '''State of Vitrea''' ( | '''Vitrea''', officially the '''State of Vitrea''' ({{lang-cd|Estado da Vitrea}}), is one of the thirty-eight federal entities, including [[Alahuela]], that together constitute [[Cartadania]]. It is the nineteenth-most populous Cartadanian state as well as the fifteenth-most extensive. The state capital is [[Aguerica]], centrally located within the Valley of Sun. Santaluz, is Vitrea's most populous city, with just over half a million residents, and its metro area is the most populous urban region, with approximately 4.8 million residents. | ||
The state's name literally means "stained glass", originating from the exposed amethyst outcroppings found in the state's interior, thought to have been created by the volcano that once stood there, now a caldera lake. Vitrea arose from the lands of southwestern Satheria. Vitrea, though not as economically influential as some of the eastern states, became one of the earliest and most influential industrial powerhouses during the 18th century. The state's economy is moderately diverse, although health care, transportation and the government remain the largest sectors, and it remains largely dependent on oil and gas production, as well as tourism. The state government has an elaborate system of tax credits and technical assistance to promote job growth and business investment, especially in new technologies. | The state's name literally means "stained glass", originating from the exposed amethyst outcroppings found in the state's interior, thought to have been created by the volcano that once stood there, now a caldera lake.
