Etourney is one of the six provinces of the Florian Republic and additionally is one of the two provinces which has special autonomy within the nation as the province is predominantly French-speaking. It was discovered after a long voyage from Florian settlers fleeing from the Xhusor War and other wars on the mainland. It currently consists of the island of Etourney and the island of Tanbury. These main islands are also accompanied by uninhabited islets and rocks covered with snow and glaciers. The territory has its own financial, legal and judicial systems, and the power of self-determination. Florian cultural influence on the island is evident in its use of Florian as one of the main languages and the Florian Dollar as its primary currency. Additional cultural commonalities include driving on the left, access to Florian TV channels, a school curriculum following that of the Florian Republic, and the popularity of Florian sports, including rugby league, ice hockey, football and basketball.
