Mainland Arlandica (Cebuano: Pangunang Yuta sa Arlandika) is an enclave and is considered the core territory of the Kingdom of Arlandica. It is one of the provinces of Arlandica, encompassing two territories: Santo Niño City, the country's capital city, and Melascoville City. The province is landlocked and holds the distinction of being the most populous province in the country.

Being the seat of monarchy, its political, economic, cultural, and strategic importance makes it essential to protect the province, especially Santo Niño City, to ensure the stability and security of Arlandica.

History

The province was originally a single city called Arland City (now called Santo Niño City), which served as the nation's capital until the establishment of the Kalinawan on October 12, 2020. This development paved the way for its transformation into a province.

On July 28, 2023, following a constitutional amendment, Kalinawan separated from the Mainland and came under the jurisdiction of the province of Nueva Bago. However, as a result, a new territory called Melascoville City was created.
