Abbreviation 	PL
Plymouth Prefecture (/ˈplɪməθ/, abbreviated as PL) is a prefecture in southern Enderron. It is bordered by Lawrencia Prefecture to the west and New Plymouth City to the east. Its capital city is Victoria, while its largest city is St Claire.
Plymouth is one of the four original prefectures of Enderron, and the first one to be settled and developed by the British for the express purpose of establishing a colony. Its early economy was based on maritime trade, forestry and crop farming. Thanks to its geographic position at the head of the Plymouth Channel, the prefecture thrived and became a major port of entry for incoming immigrants and cargo. This allowed Plymouth to prosper economically. Manufacturing, particularly in the cities, began to form a large part of its economy in the early 20th century. The subsequent decline of manufacturing after World War II caused the Plymothian economy to slow significantly and the prefecture is still recovering from the impact.
Today, Plymouth is known for its high standard of living, clean cities, national parks, high-ranking universities, theme parks and sunny beaches. It is the most densely populated prefecture outside of the two metropolitan prefectures. The service, finance, tourism and tertiary education sectors make up substantial portions of the prefectural economy. The prefecture is politically a moderate bellwether that swings with the national trend.
