Little Presque is a populated territory in the Federal Union of Wegmat. Located around the area of Marquette, Michigan. The territory has claims on two islands in Lake Superior and four inland claims.
Etymology
Little Presque is named after Little Presque Isle, the sister island of Presque Isle in Marquette.
History
Little Presque is the oldest claim of Wegmat called a territory. Claimed in 2019 under administration of the Local Government of New Finland the territory remained as a place of interest but was never visited. In 2023 the Federal Government reorganized the territories of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Commission of the Territories on Lake Superior, Marquette Area, and Northwest of Humboldt was established to take control of Little Presque and the Escanaba River Territory away from the Wegmat Navy and into a civilian agency. Little Presque expanded its borders and moved its territorial seat to Agaasaa in Northern Michigan University. The territory officially became populated and has a higher growth rate than any Weg province.
Geography
Little Presque is made up of six separated claims enclaved in the US State of Michigan. Agaasaa is located around 27 miles from the nearest Weg city of New Helsinki in the Province of New Finland. Agaasaa is the territorial seat and largest community. There are only two other communities in the territory. Wrightville and Marquis. Wrightville is the second largest community and is located on Wright Falls. Up the stream of the Dead River is the Forestville Dam, considered to be the most scenic place on Weg territory. The dam makes up the border with all infrastructure being in the United States. The six claimed areas are as follows: Agaasaa, the territorial seat and community center. Little Presque Isle home of Marquis, a naval station. Partridge Island, largest island in Wegmat and the Marquette region. Bingwi is home of a large sand pit and Boy Scout Island. Mallard Narrows, home of the old 510 bridge. Wrightville, the community and Forestville Damn.
Economy
The economy of Little Presque has significantly grownn since its population boom of 2023. According to the Wegmat Domestic Development Board the GDP of the territory is around 120,000 Gogos, higher than the province of Drystone. Since the territory does not have the power to levy taxes and only federal taxes apply, fishing and manufacturing are the largest industries in the province. Agaasaa produces more prodcuts then New Finland does.
Culture
The culture is identical to that of New Finland with influences from yooper, northwoods, and midwestern culture. Humans, dogs, and cats are the only animals who can obtain citizenship in the province.
Law and politics
The Wegmat Government established the Commission of the Territories on Lake Superior, Marquette Area, and Northwest of Humboldt following the population boom. Previously the territory was under military law from the Wegmat Navy. A Territorial Commisioner is the chief executive of the territories within this commission which also serves Escanaba River Territory. The Commisioner is apointed by the Prime Minister of Wegmat. There is no legislature or territorial court system of the territory. The Federal Government exercises judicial administration of the territory at the federal courthouse and offices in New Helsinki.
