## History

### Real history

Abenaki is the oldest province in the entirety of the country of Leedonia, being founded in late 2019 as the very first part of Leedonia. Abenaki wasn't officially a Leedonian province until early to mid 2020, but it is still the oldest province nonetheless. In 2023, Ikyuta split from Abenaki, forming what is currently Leedonia's newest province.

## Geography

The province stretches from the border with Buskantan to the south to the Ikyuta border in the north. From east to west the province goes from the Valletta Sea by the Blueland Union to the Thompson Sea by Barenza.

About 60% of the population is made up of descendants of the Getarian and Lacatan peoples. About 20% are made up of Bilurian descendents, who mainly live on the west side of Foxborough in Lometa. About 10% of Abenaki is made up of Vortesians and other Bluelandic peoples, 3% are Mizu, and 7% are a mixture of all kinds of groups.
