Gallasia (Ebrarese: Gallasia; Gallasian: Fwedsma), officially the Province of Gallasia, is a landlocked autonomous province in western Ebrary bordering other countries in the west and north and the province of Aberna in the south and east. The Autonomous Provinces Act of 1986 devolves certain powers to the province of Gallasia which are not devolved to other provinces. Gallasia consists of six counties, and its capital and most populous city is Vugo. Gallasia is one of the least populated provinces of Ebrary.
Gallasia is the homeland of the Gallasian people, a Geltic people group native to the area encompassing the Province of Gallasia as well as parts of the province of Aberna. Approximately 78% of the population of Gallasia were classified as Gallasians in the 2020 Ebrarian Census. Most of the rest of the population are Ebrarians. Religiously, the majority of the population of Gallasia adheres to Christenism, but the Orthodox Church is the fastest growing denomination in the province.
The primary sector of the economy of Gallasia is dominated by coal mining in the Gallasian mountains. Gallasia is the most impoverished province in terms of median household income in Ebrary.
The history of Gallasia has its origins in the Christianization of the Geltic peoples in Ebrary after the establishment of Aroman settlements in the 5th century AD. By the middle of the 6th century, Christian Geltic Kings had established the Kingdom of Gallasia centered around the modern province of Gallasia. The original kingdom encompassed what is now termed "Greater Gallasia", and area encompassing the modern province of Gallasia as well as large portions of Aberna and small areas of neighboring countries. Most of these lands in Ebrary to this day have a large Gallasian presence. The Kingdom of Gallasia was conquered in 1129 by the Kingdom of Ebrary, ending centuries of independence.
In the modern era, Gallasia is the center of terrorist activities by separatist groups, most notably the Gallasian Independence Army and the Gallasian Wildcats. The Gallasian capital Vugo has been placed under martial law twice by the national government in the last decade to deal with terrorist attacks.
