The Province of Urru
----------------------------------
The Province of Urru is located on the southern peninsula in The Empire of Procellia. The province has been part of Procellia since the first theocratic war, but ethnically has has always been distinctive from the mainland.
The official languages of Urru are the national language of Procellian and the native language of Urlandish. Compared to the soft sounds that distinguish Procellian, Urlandish is very harsh and is frequently called angry sounding.
Do to its location Urru was one of the major trading regions with the west up until the era of blissful isolation, which left a permanent mark on the heritage of the province. By the start of the era of blissful isolation western missionaries had converted most of the Province to Roman Catholicism, causing tension with the demon worshipping and atheist mainland.
Three hundred years later this boiled over into the fourth theocratic war, which lasted over a century. The war virtually decimated the whole province, as the wealthier mainland burned churches to the ground and executed those who refused to abandon their faith.
The Pope at the time, Pope Vasdun II, negotiated a peace treaty between the three parties in 6532. It was in this treaty that the religion officially became Urrubianism, and that the Pope declared the Dras, and The People's Assembly to be the chosen governors of Urru. And that it was god's will for the nation to never be divided again. I'm exchange the now reformed Christianity was added to the list of legally protected religions.
In modern times the Province has become a semi autonomous region, complete with its own legislature and governor. This expansion of rights began two hundred years ago during the socialist revolution. The citizens of Urru actively opposed reforms on the federal level, and complained about being forced to go along with a new system they felt didn't align with their religion.
Out of concern the issue could reignite old tensions The People's Assembly agreed to allow the Province more autonomy. However, the federal government reserved the right to pass laws they must abide by if they failed to provide for their citizens, and the federal government remained in charge of all noneconomic functions, which meant the Province still had to send delegates to the federal assembly.
