Zaaga Province

Zaaga Province is a province of the Second Kingdom of Paxaris. It was formed on the 8 September after Paxaris redefined it's borders to fit the entire great lakes. It controls land in the Ishpay and Dabaz regions. It draws the border up to 85°W and following the existing border with the United Cities and Canada. In the Dabaz region, it follows the river Maumee until it reaches the 41st parallel north, from where it follows the 87th meridian west until it reaches Lake Michigan.

Etymology

Zaaga comes from the Ojibwe word for a lake, Zaaga'igan.

History

ZP was initially divided up between the United States and Roupica (later Golania and Paxaris). Roupica divided their land up into the existing counties of Michigan, Golania never had functioning divisions, and Paxaris (when it did not control West Zaaga) used Eamia as the name for the land in the Dabaz.

Unification

On 8 September, Zaaga was silently formed as the first post-caanga province, with the rest of the duchies initially remaining unchanged.
