Atlas: Province
From The Somewhere Else Encyclopedia
Provinces are areas with boundaries that clearly distinguish them from other provinces, and their own culture or set of cultures leading to a shared identity within those boundaries and observed by those outside of them; generally they have their own government(s), though the autonomy of a province and those within it may potentially be affected by being part of a commonwealth. While usually related to provincial boundaries in some way, cultures can also transcend provincial boundaries, potentially significantly affecting identity for more than just one province.
