Cenwister is the most economically active province in the Federal Union of Wegmat. Located West of Lloyd, Wisconsin. Cenwister is an Out-Province meaning it is out of the general area of Two Pine. Cenwister became a territory During the existence of the Kingdom of Ridab era. Cenwister saw tremendous growth during 2021 when the claims were revitalized and the federal government got more involved.
Etymology
Cenwister is a shortening of the term "Central Wisconsin Territories" which was the original name given to the claims that make up the province.
History
Cenwister was claimed in 2018 when Wegmat was founded but the claims were never officially recognized until 2019 when the residents of Fullerton voted to join the Kingdom. Cenwister due to its distance from mainland Wegmat would remain uninfluential until the first official Cenwister Deer Hunt. Cenwister is the only province in Wegmat that allows citizens to hunt deer. Deer are not recognized as citizens in Cenwister but even if they were due to Predator and Prey Act deer can be killed for resources. In 2021 the Deer Hunt was successful and the province gained more official citizens. Dulles was claimed and is the largest city in Cenwister. Cenwister has always had a large economy but between 2021 and 2022 the economy grew even without dairy cows.
Geography
Cenwister is the largest province in Wegmat and one of the largest known plots of land legally owned by micronational co-operators. The original charter of claims was 200 acres around the Fullerton area. In 2021 the province was rechartered to include the Dennis area. Cenwister is one out of two provinces to subdivide the province further into counties. There are 8 counties in Cenwister. Kelvin County is the largest and least populated located north of Dulles. Dulles unified city and county being the most populated and smallest. Rustic View County is the county in which Fullerton is located. Skyview County encompasses the flat area of the Skyview range. The Skyview range makes up the majority of the eastern part of the province. The Rustic Valley makes up the western part of the province. Notable geological features include Steves Cliff, the largest cliff in the Federal Union, Kelvins Face, and Baird Cliff.

A major part of Cenwister is deer hunting which is enjoyed by 90% of citizens according to the provincial Government. Deer hunting is legal in Cenwister despite deer being recognized federally as citizens. It is up to provinces to admit citizens and Cenwister has a law that refuses to let deer become citizens.
