Information about Cadilly

**Cadilly** (Cadillian: *Cadeilles*), officially the **Democratic Republic of Cadilly** (Aurorian: *República Democràtica de Cadeilles*) is a country in the south of the continent, having coast to the Asrack Ocean to its south-west and a small coast to the Slavic Sea to the south-east. The country is bordered to the north by Aurore and Phialia, to the east by South Slavia and to the west by Al-Nasri and Osebia.

With an area of 356.400 km², Cadilly is the eleventh largest country of Tena and the second largest of the Economic Community (ECo). With a population exceeding the 16,6 million of inhabitants, Cadilly is the eleventh country by population, and it is the eleventh with bigger population density at 46,69 inhabitants/km². The country's capital city is Argelich, which is also the major urban area of the country, followed by Camins, Torregrossa, Bergeron and Col d'Olga.

Proto-Cadillian people arrived to Cadillian grounds during the Bronze Age, evolving in different kingdoms that were finally unified by the Aranese, the older version of the current republic. The Kingdom of Aran was an absolute monarchy that controlled the area without problems and without trying to conquer or expand to any territories. It is thought to be the most peaceful and advanced regime at the time, since the first constitution and human rights protection documents of history were signed by an Aranese king. However, after the Zakaria Caliphate invasion and re-conquest of the lost territories, the regime changed to the Kingdom of Cadilly. Although the population was not as immersed in poverty as elsewhere, the people started to riot in different parts of the country in order to remove the figure of the King, as the first vestige of the Revolution of the Aurorians. In that way, the kingdom was replaced by the Democratic Republic of Cadilly, as it is currently known.

The Aranese community is still living in the country, although it mostly migrated to the north and settled mostly in Aurore and also in Phialia. However, their language and traditions are still protected and promoted in the population, since they have not changed in a long time and are considered part of the national heritage.

At present, Aurore is a secular parliamentary republic with a presidential and constitutional regime, with Irene Aragay serving as the head of state. It is considered a developed country, with the eleventh largest economy of the continent. It is a member of different organisations, including the United Tenan Nations Organisation (UTNO), the Economic Community (ECo) and the Tenan Broadcasting Union (TBU). Since the country is part of the ECo, the official currency is the shared Subo ($) (ECS).

## Political Geography

Cadilly is divided in five provinces. These are Avirròs, Camins, Canteixo, Giroida and Olga.

In alphabetical order, **Avirròs** is known for being the most mountainous province of the country and having the majority of Aranese people. It is located in the south and west side of Cadilly, bordering with Al-Nasri, Osebia and South Slavia, and being the only province in the country with coast. It is the most rural one of the republic although it is where the third largest city of Cadilly, Torregrossa, is located, which is home to more than the 75% of the province population. The weather is generally cold with snowy days all-year-round, although it is true that in the seaside, it is not that common, and temperatures are hotter in comparison with the rest of the province.

**Camins** is a province located in the west of the country, bordering with South Slavia and its main city being the homonymous Camins, the second largest city of the country. Its main economic sector is the agriculture and industry one, since it receives the rains of the clouds that are stopped in the mountain range and in that way, land is mostly fertile. Industry started when industrialisation arrived to Cadilly and stayed in the area which started to be the most populated in the country, turning Camins into the second largest industrial province of Cadilly. However, the population exodus of the last centuries because of digitisation and the increase of the service sector importance. However, tourism in last years arrived to Camins and a new horizon is showing with new future opportunities.

**Canteixo** is located in the north of the country, bordering with Aurore. Being the second most populated province in Cadilly, is where the city of Bergeron is located. Its economy is based on the service sector and the highly developed industry, being at present the highest industrialised province in the country. Tourism is also important for its economy, although visitors are usually more attracted to the capital city and visit the province in only one day, due to its closeness with Argelich and Giroida. Canteixo is the province with the highest average temperature since it is totally located on the Cadillian Valley without major elevations in the area.

**Giroida** is the most populated and richest province in Cadilly, being also the home of Argelich, the capital city of the country. It is located in the north side of the territory, having border with Aurore and Osebia. It is also one of the provinces that lay on the Cadillian Valley between the two mountain ranges. Because of its location, historical and artistic relevance over the years, Giroida has always been the major urban, industrial, touristic and economic area of Cadilly. For that reason, the Cadillian government has made several efforts to reduce the centralisation and give more opportunities to the rest of provinces.

Lastly, **Olga** is the province located in the north-east, in the Cadillian part of the Philish Plateau, bordering in that way with Phialia and with Aurore and South Slavia. It is the third most populated province of Cadilly, being also the one where the city of Col d'Olga is. The province is famous for the recovery made over the years regarding the attraction of the population back to the province, after the rural exodus that arose with industrialisation. Nowadays, Olga got to improve its infrastructure and offer in that way more and better opportunities to the population. Industry, mining and the tourism sector are the main wealth source. Visitors are attracted by the nature and sports tourism that the province has promoted lastly, giving more importance to Olga for nature lovers.

### **Main cities description**

**Argelich** is the capital and largest city of Cadilly speaking of inhabitants, with 2.341.000 people living within the municipal limits. It is located in the north-centre part of the country, where the Cadillian Valley lays. There have been settlements from the Bronze Age, when the Proto-Cadillian people started colonising the area. The economy of the city and its surroundings have always been based in agriculture and fishing, but since the end of the XVIII century when major industrialisation started in Cadilly, Argelich got better infrastructure and opportunities, letting tourism, industry and services flourish, and taking advantage of the capital status. Although it is located in the south side of the continent, the city has a mountainous climate due to the closeness to two big mountain ranges. However, the city is located in the small Cadillian Valley, making temperatures hotter although there are still mild summers and cold winters, with snow being easy to be seen.

**Camins** is the second largest city of Cadilly speaking of inhabitants, with 1.206.000 people living within the municipal limits. It is located in the centre part of the country, being the main city of the homonymous province, Camins. There have been settlements from the Bronze Age, when the Proto-Cadillian people started colonising the area. Because of the agricultural exodus since industrialisation, the city and its surroundings lost a lot of population, but it was slowly recovered over the last few decades. However, the city of Camins is the only area in the province that has really increased its population from the one that it had centuries ago. As it is located close to the Philish Plateau and the Cadillian Mountains, it receives big influences from the mountain climate, making it colder in winter and summer. In addition, raining is common in the area instead of the usual snow in the rest of the country, making it perfect for agriculture despite its average temperatures.

**Torregrossa** is the third largest city of Cadilly speaking of inhabitants, with 683.000 people living within the municipal limits. It is located in the farthest south part of the country, being the main and only major city of its province, Avirròs. The first settlements are thought to be from the Bronze Age, when different Proto-Cadillian tribes started to build a home in the area, that later became the Aranese people, ruling the country until the Zakaria Caliphate invasion. The rest of the country evolved in the current Cadillian, but many Aranese people can still be found in the surroundings. The city and its surroundings have always had a big fishing sector, and it has always been the only major urban area in the province due to its mountainous geography, giving the city the isolation that kept the Aranese people existing. However, the weather in Torregrossa is not considered as a common mountainous weather, since, although it is located where it should be one, it is also a coastal area, giving it a mild influence.

**Bergeron** is the fourth largest city of Cadilly speaking of inhabitants, with 436.000 people living within the municipal limits. It is located in the north part of the country, being close to the Aurorian border and to the capital city of Cadilly, Argelich. There have been settlements from the Bronze Age, when the Proto-Cadillian people started colonising the area. The city and its surroundings have been always important for agriculture and mining, but since the beginning of the XIX century when major industrialisation started in Aurore, Bergeron got better infrastructure and opportunities, also from Aurorian travellers and investors, letting tourism, industry and services flourish. As it is located in the south of the continent, in the Cadillian Valley, the city gets influence from the two big mountain ranges that are around and the wind flows of the valley, giving the area in that way mild and sometimes hot summers and cold winters.

**Col d'Olga** is the fifth largest city of Cadilly speaking of inhabitants, with 420.000 people living within the municipal limits. It is located in the north-east part of the country, being the main city of its province, Olga, and being close to the border with Phialia. There have been settlements from the Bronze Age, when the Proto-Cadillian people started colonising the area. The city and its surroundings have been always important for agriculture and mining, but since the beginning of the XIX century when major industrialisation started in Aurore, Col d'Olga lost most of its population. However, over the years, huge efforts were made by its provincial government and with the improvement of the mining sector, they gave more opportunities to the locals and brought the migrant population back to their homes. As it is located in the south of the continent, close to the Cadillian Valley, the city gets influence from the two big mountain ranges that are around and the wind flows of the valley, giving the area in that way mild and sometimes hot summers and cold winters.

## Physical Geography

Cadilly is a mostly mountainous country with a small valley in the north. The centre and south are covered by the huge Cadillian Mountains, that prevents the population from having settled in large numbers. The north-east side is also montainous beacause of the Philish Plateau. The only flat part of the country, and where the majority of the population lies, is in the centre-north side, in the area between both mountain ranges, called the Cadillian Valley. As the country has a really high average altitude, and the sea-level area is not big, the temperatures are usually cold despite being on the south of the continent, that usually influences with hotter weather.

The south of the country has coast to both the Asrack Ocean, in the west side, and the Slavic Sea, in the small west side, where the Jade River empties making the border with South Slavia. The two main rivers that are born in Cadilly are the Norne River, that flows to Osebia, and the Dorlein River, that begins as two different ones but unites south of Argelich and then flows as one to the Aurore-Osebian border.

Talking about the Cadillian climate conditions, the country mainly has a mountain climate in contrast with its location, with mild summers and cold winters, making it in that way not difficult to see snow all over the country in any month of the year, although it actually is not probable in the Cadillian Valley in summer. However, west of the Cadillian Mountains, in the Asrackian coast, temperatures are usuallly more appropiate for agriculture and general life, but because of its isolation to the rest of the country, there is only one major city.

## Politics

Cadilly is a presidential constitutional republic, meaning that the executive power is held by one person, the President of Cadilly, and the legislative power is held by the parliament, Consell General (General Council), that is elected and replaced every four years. The elections take place in such a way that each province of the country provides a number of seats proportional to its population, making it to 150 seats in total.
