The Constantine Peninsula (Moldanian: Peninsula Constantin) also known as the Derazhchiv Peninsula, is a peninsula in Deraz that froms part of Moldanovica's eastern coast as well as it's border with Tiskaiya. It extends eastwards and is home to around 7.6 million people as well as the cities of Leva and Derazhchiv.
Geography
The Constantine Peninsula is a part of the same geographic Massif as the Nouman Peninsula in the north. Within the peninsula lies the estuary of the Tyman River as well as the Trebuie Bay region. It forms the entirety of the Deraz province as well as the bulk of the Leva Province. The most western areas of the peninsula, known as the Mlaștini (Marshlands), lie near the towns of Băirești and Hořov.
The largest city on the peninsula is the Slavic-built city of Leva which lies in the western regions of the peninsula.
The northern coast of the peninsula faces the islands of Sacalin and Želšava, or the Insulele Canalului.
Culture
The culture of the peninsula is destinctly Slavic compared to the rest of the country, being due to the history of slavic tribes and years under Tiskaiyan control that have left a great amount of Slavic-Moldanians on the peninsula. This can be seen in a lot of settlement names such as Derazhciv, Leva and Penograd. This is further backed up by the accents and dialects of those found on the peninsula, which is much closer to that of Tiskaiya than the rest of Moldanovica. Not only that but, according to a study[1] done in 2009, the people living on the peninsula shared much higher percentages of Slavic heritage than the rest of the country.
