Selleaux has two main geographical regions: the coastal basin plain, and the fertile inland plain. The first consists mainly of sand dunes and clayey alluvial soils in the polders. Polders are areas of land, close to or below sea level that have been reclaimed from the sea, from which they are protected by dikes or, a little further inland, by fields that have been drained with canals. With similar soils along the lowermost basin starts the inland plain, a smooth, slowly rising fertile area irrigated by many waterways that reaches an average height of about five metres (16 feet) above sea level with wide valleys of its rivers upstream as well as the Meine region to the west along the Drambenburgian border having sandy soils at altitudes around thirty metres.

Its provincial capital, largest city, and namesake is Selleaux, with other major cities including Monaford, Eppelborn, Saint-Hubert, and Oftcote.

Selleaux has two main geographical regions: the coastal basin plain, and the fertile inland plain. The first consists mainly of sand dunes and clayey alluvial soils in the polders. Polders are areas of land, close to or below sea level that have been reclaimed from the sea, from which they are protected by dikes or, a little further inland, by fields that have been drained with canals. With similar soils along the lowermost basin starts the inland plain, a smooth, slowly rising fertile area irrigated by many waterways that reaches an average height of about five metres (16 feet) above sea level with wide valleys of its rivers upstream as well as the Meine region to the west along the Drambenburgian border having sandy soils at altitudes around thirty metres.

History

Selleaux became a region of Avergnon at the conclusion of the Fifty Years War in 1389. Selleaux was contested over during the Avergnon-Indiginous War (1750-1757) as disputes for Den Haag and Chaesia ensued.

During the industrial revolution, Selleaux became the manufacturing hub of Avergnon. Factories and shipyards funneled the economy, complimented with booming agricultural output, and Avergnon quickly became the richest nation in Euronia by 1830 due to Selleauxan industries.

Selleaux was invaded by Drambenburg in 1949, which began the World War. The Battle of Selleaux is regarded as one of the bloodiest battles of the war, occurring in the first month of the conflict and claiming the lives of nearly 100,000 soldiers. Selleaux was fully liberated by early June 1954, with the Battle of Saint-Hubert considered the last major clash in the Avergnonian front.

On June 13th, 2024, a highly disputed referendum for Selleaux to secede from Avergnon and cede to Drambenburg passed. The referendum was marred by irregularities, and the majority of the Selleaux population were seemingly unaware that it had been held until after it passed. Furthermore, polling of the Selleaux population indicated less than 25% support in favor of the referendum's passage, yet it cleared by 53%. Following the referendum, the Provincial Council of Selleaux instituted martial law, backed by Théo Barrault's administration, which in turn resulted in pro-Drambenburg protests, some of which turned violent. The referendum was illegal under the Constitution of Avergnon, and is not recognized by most countries. The ZIS and other WEDA intelligence agencies stated Drambenburgian espionage helped stage the referendum.
