South Acadia is a province located in Slokais Islands, It's one of the smallest by population and the most ethnically homogeneous. The capital city of South Acadia is Clydewood with 178,500 people.
History
Before the arrival of settlers, the Northern Isles were inhabited by a number of tribes such as the Islayas and Arkon'ah people. These groups primarily were farming societies constructing a number of settlements along the flat Acadian plain. In 840, Minjian settlers constructed a remote temple situated high within the Acadia Mountains. Besides this development, the Minjian settlement was minimal. It was not until the 1750s that widespread settlement occurred, primarily made of farmers and sheep herders from Sanctaira. In 1830, the province joined the Acadian Territory, around the same time a trading port was built at the mouth of Clyde River known as Clydewood. This town soon became the center of the timber industry in the region with the population reaching 15,000 in 1890. South Acadia was initially part of Acadia Province, however, local leaders criticized the mostly Ren government for the alleged favoritism towards the Minjian Faith, eventually in 1911 after a series of protests in the provincial capital of Pindai, both North and South Acadia were created. South Acadia soon became a haven for members of the Wellwood Catholic Church who split from the Church of San Fernando in 1918 over the issue of women's rights. Wellwoodans are much stricter than other denominations and thus implemented a series of policies such as the prohibition of alcohol. Today Wellwoodans account for around 20% of the total Province's population mainly in Henwood Township.
