Sildar, also known as "the Sunshine Province", juts off a peninsula forming Aloria's western coast.

Geography
Sildar's geography is rich, complex, and varied. In the middle of the province is a great central valley. The Sildarian Valley is bounded by coastal mountain ranges in the west, lush subtropical forests in the east, and another remote, dry in the south.

Sildar is one of the richest and most ecologically diverse regions of the world. It is home to many endangered ecosystems. Urbanization, logging, overgrazing, and the introduction of exotic animals have encroached on Silar's ecosystems, threatening many native species with extinction. One such species is the Alorian Lion, the proud symbol of the nation.

Sildarian climate varies from mediterranean to subtropical. Cool rainy winters, and hot dry summers prevail throughout the year in most of the province. The regions east of the coastal mountains, and the Yellow River valley, are warmer and rainier, giving life to the Sildarian subtropical forests.

Demographics and culture
Although most of the land in Sildar contains remote forests and barren valleys, the coastal areas and the area around the capital Sildar City are highly populous. Most people lives in the cities Sildar City in the north and Ceres in the southwest. Sildar City has the largest university in the country, the University of Sildar.

Sildar is Aloria's wealthiest province, and its most progressive. Its political elite realize the province is surrounded on the one side by the intensely conservative Ultran, and on the other side by provinces dedicated to libertarianism. In such an environment, Sildar's chief concern is for the devolution of power to provincial governments.

Economy
Despite its mass of fertile land, there is little agriculture in Sildar. While coastal fishing generates enough food for export, Sildar's chief source of income is tourism. Because of its highly educated labor pool, Sildar City is also home to a thriving technological industry. Its established computer and aerospace firms now vie for labor with a budding biotechnology sector.

With her exotic forests and pristine white beaches, Sildar is a favorite destination for tourists. The city of Ceres boasts an adult theme park atmosphere, brimming with luxury hotels, casinos, and escort services. Sildar Beach and its famous movie studios are also popular destinations. Tourists flock to Sildar Beach in the summer, and students throng its sands during spring break. Sildar's subtropical forests also draw thousands of eco-tourists each year.
