Transcaledonian Territory
The Transcaledonian Territory (Commonspeak: Transkældonan Teritrë), or simply known as Transcaledonia (Commonspeak: Transkældona), is an administrative entity within Aerla. It is composed of the lands conquered during the Vizia Campaign, lands ceded by the Khamil Khanate, and the former exclave of Port Aerla. The area is sparsely populated, with it being mostly inhabited by the native tribes of the region along with several small Aerlan settlements. The capital of the territory is the aforementioned Port Aerla.
The territory is subdivided into 8 Parishes and 2 Tribal Trust Administrations (or TTAs). The Tribal Trust Administrations are distinct by being governed by the local tribes rather than a standard Parish government. The two TTAs are the Pastoral Peoples Tribal Trust Administration (PPTTA), which comprises most of the heartland of the former Ghul Confederation and the Rukh Tribal Trust Administration (RTTA), which was given to the Rukh Tribe due to their alliance with Aerla during the Vizia Campaign.
The Aerlan government announced, staring in 1738 AN, that low-interest loans would be granted for construction projects in Transcaledonia. This was done in the hope to attract industry to the area. The government also announced the selling of discounted tracts of land in certain parishes in order to encourage agriculture.
