About the
Province
Provincia America Boreoccidentalis covers a vast territory.
Including the macronational state of Alaska, the provincia's
territory covers 817,239 square miles, with a total macronational
population of 11,416,738 — just 14 people per square mile!
The most densely populated areas centre on the provincia's two
major port cities, Seattle and Portland, with a large number of
cities in the western portion of the states of Oregon and Washington
averaging a consistently higher population than the arid eastern
portions of the two states.

miles, or 136.5 per square mile. Southwestern Oregon's macronational
population is 956,910 persons living in 26,205 square miles of
territory, with a population density of 36.5 people per square mile.
The eastern half of the state is very sparsely populated, with not
quite four people per square mile. Just 209,516 people live in
52,904 square miles of territory.

local governance:

Northwestern Washington has a much higher population density due
to its topography: 3,387,427 people live in just 16,007 square miles
of territory, creating a population density of more than 211
persons. Rural southwest Washington has 1,277,814 people living in
8,707 square miles of territory for a population density of nearly
147 persons per square mile. Conversely, Eastern Washington, though
much larger in area, is more sparsely populated, though its
geography and industry supports many more cities than eastern
Oregon. With 1,288,857 people living in 39,531 square miles of
territory, the population density is just over 32 people per square
mile.
The state of Washington is divided into three regios:

I

The smallest state in the Provincia is Idaho, with 1,321,006
people living in 82,747 square miles. The population density is just
16 people per square mile. Further, the northern "panhandle" of the
state is virtually cut off from the southern portion by nearly
impassable mountains, so practically, northern Idaho is completely
separate from southern Idaho.
Alaska is the largest state, dwarfing the
other three states and indeed outsizes nearly all of its sister
states. From the Aleutian Islands in the west to its border with
western Canada in the east, the state is wider than the lower 40 US
states combined! Alaska has ever so much more land than people: with
a macronational population of just 634,892, there are only 1.1
people per square mile living in America's last frontier.
