Mäeklen is divided into five provinces:
History
Mäeklen was founded as Mayfield in early July, 2012, as the then Gerenian Colony of New Calarma adopted semifederalism as its government form. The first governor of the Mayfield Autonomous Region was Sheila Toscano, appointed on 16 July 2012.
Mayfield developed more rapidly than New Adarma Autonomous Region, due to the fact that most of Gerenians chose to settle in the north, and along river Maiŷnat.
During November 2013, the name Mayfield was replaced with the Gerenian word Mäeklen, which is similar in meaning to "Mayfield".
Economy
Mäeklen is the most prosperous of the Gerenian regions. Port Elerat has a very active port, and it is the financial and commercial hub of the nation. Klämen is a large city dedicated to agriculture, though several industries have begun to operate in the area. Mergeazes (in the north) and Taizun (in the east) have recently started flourishing as tourist centres.
