Abarat

Abarat is one of the wealthiest of the Provinces of Pintonia, as it is the industrial heartland of the Imperial Republic of Pintonia, with a population of just over 50 million, 5/8 of the nation's total population. The Factories on the Island produce the cars, trains and boats of Pintonia, and they are exported worldwide. The GDP of Abarat is close to 70% of the GDP of the entire country.

Cities
The island of Abarat has three major cities. The port of Mayberry has a population of 1.5 million, and thrives on the importing and exporting of goods from the other cities, and from the vast ship-building industry of the port. The regional capital, Aramanth is the largest city in the entire nation, with 9 million residents, and is leading the way in industry for the nation, as it's factories are all run on renewable power, and low emissions, and has the largest number of Eco-Industries of any city in the world.

The third city, Santa Teresa, is the black sheep of the island. 5% of the population has turned to crime, and the criminals are split between two warring gangs, which control portions of the city. The backdrop to this is the steady decline of the mining industry, on which the city depends. The future is bleak for Santa Teresa, as the police force is officially pulling out of the city on the 20th of June, following the death of the 500th officer in three years. The drug trade from Santa Teresa is booming, but more worryingly, the Pintonian Cartel, has begun to increase their influence in Mayberry, looking to export drugs out of the country.
