East Xiang is a province on the island of Xiang with a population of 1,275,735 and is home to silicon and copper mining. Although it produces important basic materials, the province is one of the poorest in the country with an average household income of $51,678. The province has suffered from the economic crisis of the early 2010s leading to support for more populist figures such as the New Right. Its capital is Saint Anthony with a population of 210,768.
History
East Xiang was originally settled by the Ibaloi people who primarily built their culture around emeralds, which are abundant in the Xiang Pletaeu. In the 1050s, Minjian settlers established a conclave dedicated to the pursuit of science and thus named the entire island "Xiang" or "thinker's island". Eventually, the nearby Pindai Kingdom discovered the island's natural resources and began extracting them at the expense of the Ibaloi.
