Etourney is one of the two semi-autonomous territories of the Confederate States of Floria and is the only territory which is predominantly Alexandrian-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 Confederate States of Floria, and the popularity of Florian sports, including rugby league, ice hockey, football and the most popular sport on the island, Amorian football.
History
Etourney was founded on the 18th June 2017 after a long voyage from Florian settlers fleeing from the Xhusor War. It was then given full autonomy by the Florian government. The capital of the territory was announced to be called St. Edwin's and it would have a population of 30,000. As the capital was being built Etournians settled in caravans and tents.
Government and Politics
The province has special autonomy from the Florian government as the province is predominantly French-speaking. Etourney has control over its borders, culture, and economy. However, it is not allowed full diplomatic relations any other state without permission from the Florian government. The local parliament is currently called the Etourney Round Table and there are 10 seats available each election.
Political Parties
Political parties on the territory are subdivisions of the political parties on the mainland as well as numerous minor Alexandrian-speaking parties.
