'''Brissac''' is a [[Laeral|Laeralian]] province located in the [[Xianhai Peninsula]] region of Laeral, bordering [[Lematre]] to the north, [[Libertas Omnium Maximus]] to the south and west, and the [[Albarine Sea]] to the east. It is Laeral's second least-populous province and the smallest by area. It is divided into Monthion township in the north and Galapian township in the south.  

The region contains large deposits of crude oil, which today is central to the province's economy. The distribution of these oil revenues is a source of friction between the province and the central government. 

==History==
Prior to colonial settlement, Brissac was largely inhabited by fishing communities of proto-Valahan ethnicity. During the colonial era, offshore reefs and shoals prevented Arrivée settlement beyond mapping of the coast. By the mid-19th century following the [[Laeralian War of Independence]], Arrivée settlers from [[Bethune]] province began migrating southwards along the [[Xianhai Peninsula]] in search of unclaimed farmland, in spite of Libertas Omnium Maximus's nominal sovereignty over the region. These settlers totaled roughly 40,000 by 1873. Growing conflict between the newcomers and native Brissacians led the settlers to assemble at the Legrange Convention in 1875, proclaiming the region as a Laeralian territory. 

Between 1875 and 1877, this led to the [[War of the Seven Provinces]] as Libertas Omnium Maximus put down this uprising, which was backed by seven Laeralian provinces who sent troops to support the settlers. From 1877 to 1927, for five decades, Brissac was a Maximusian province, albeit underdeveloped and sparsely populated. The Arrivée population of the province largely stayed in place and was frequently restive. In 1917, Maximusian surveyors discovered rich crude oil deposits in the province, spurring immediate interest from Laeral and LOM. In 1925, an uprising by Brissac's Arrivée community served as casus belli for the [[Republic of Laeral]] to declare war. 

==Politics and Government==
Like its fellow rural Xianhai provinces, Brissac is among the most conservative provinces of Laeral and has consistently supported the [[Laeralian People's Party]] in presidential elections since 1980, when it supported [[Jacques Carlier]] on the basis of his ties to the peninsula. Brissac has historically been prone to support for the 

==Economy==
Brissac's temperate climate has spurred a small wine-growing industry, although the bulk of wine production in Laeral is in the Beuvron Valley in continental Laeral.
