Politics
At the moment, Bindeborg is dominated like all other provinces by a authoritarian military one-party state, with Stig Rune serving as the Governor from the Kivonian National Salvation Party. Because of the existence of only the KNSP since the creation of the Third Republic in 4754, it is the only party to currently hold power.
Economy
Nyberg's primary industry is the mining of ore and precious stones. There is also a significant fishing industry off the coasts. The military industrial shipping complex is also located in Nyberg.
Like Nyberg, the Bindeborg Proper's economy has a large fishing industry. It also has a large agricultural base and livestock traders. Transportation is an essential industry in Bindeborg Proper due to its isolated location. The island has a complex shipping industry and is the largest supplier of navy ships to Davostan. A ferry fleet run by the government and private sector secures transportation of civilians from Bindeborg Proper to Nyberg, Dovmark, and the mainland. The temperature of Bindeborg Proper is warmer than the rest of the nation making it the largest tourist resort.
Geography
Bindeborg Proper
Bindeborg
The island of Bindeborg Proper was created due to ancient volcanic activity. Originally a hot spot, as the plate tectonics moved additional islands were created moving northward. After millions of years the islands came together to form the main island of Bindeborg Proper. Geologists predict that in several million years, Nyberg and Bindeborg Proper will become one larger island. Although mountainous down the center of the island, it also features wide plains and rivers.
Nyberg Island
Nyberg is a volcanic island with one active shield volcano roughly in the center of the island. The volcano frequently erupts creating quick and dramatic changes to the islands topography. The island features brief warm summers followed by cold winters. The island would be significantly colder if not for the green house effect created by the volcanic gasses. It is the second smallest island in Terra.
In ancient times, Nyberg was below sea level. Millions of years of volcanic eruptions caused it to gradually rise above the surface.
