Rasina
Rasina is a province of the Divinarate, and its seat of power. Originally an ancient kingdom of the Era of Kings, it withstood fierce turmoil and pushed through the Era of Crisis under the leadership of Fabien Nadia, who would found the Divinarate that Rasina then became but one of four provinces of. It's today the largest populated area of Tempertaria, and is host to many large cities, chief of which being the capital of the Divinarate Rasinoplita.
Culture
The Rasini are proud of their ancient past and legacy. Their history fraught with war since the beginning, only intensified after the First Collision. Their tenacity for armed conflict has decreased as of recent, but with the recent increase in Bezjan activity to the north, it is clear that this is only a temporary change.
The Rasini feel most at home on the farms of Bathae, working in the fields with sickle in hand, and many still do so. They still celebrate many of their ancient festivals relating to farming and the like, though the ancient blood sacrifices were thankfully abandoned with the adoption of Geminism.
It would be a disservice to only speak of the Rasini as farmers, as their cities dwarf most others on Tempertaria. Though the Divinarates urban population had decreased for many centuries since Caralio's reign ended, it saw a huge increase after industrialization.
Tradition is held in high regard in Rasina, as is acting with proper manners and respect. You're community and family are above everything else, at least most of the time.
Agriculture & Industry
Rasina is the leading agricultural provider in the world, as it contains the largest amount of fertile land in all of Tempertaria. This also makes it the largest industry in the province, and most people up until recently worked as farmers. With the rise of industry, manufacturing has quickly become a huge part of the economy of Rasina, especially the arms manufacturing industry. There has recently been a push to expand production towards civilian products also, which has been a huge boon to the economy.
Trade & Transport
Travel between the other provinces in the Divinarate is pretty easy, and Rasina is the primary supplier of food produce for all of them. Trade with Artesja either occurs by sea, or flows up from Nousartia, though with the outbreak of civil war in Artesja, trade as of recent has been limited.
Infrastructure
The train networks of Rasina have recently been renovated under Haeasvethi III, making it much more expansive and useful to the civilian population. Car roads are a different matter, as Rasina has largely neglected anything past the bare necessities.
