Secano, officially the Province of Secano is a province of Carloso, composed of three circuits on the mainland and a fourth encompassing Vencedor Island off the Carlosian coast. Located in the south-east of the country, as of the 2017 census it had a population of 12,509,802. Its contiguous territory borders Muron to the north, Badasca to the east and south, and the Musgorocian Ocean to the west. The province is bisected by the Valera River. Secano's southerly position relative to the rest of Carloso means it typically experiences the hottest summers of the country, making it a major tourist destination. The sixth most populous province of Carloso, it is densely populated and a major centre for economic, cultural and political activities. It hosts a large Carlosian Navy base. The province's capital is also called Secano. As the economic centre of the south-east, it has many transport links, including a large airport; Secano International Airport, and high-speed Aris rail connections to Madrigal and Ninfas, Agostinia.
During the Emergency War (1946–1951), Secano was one of the first areas of Carloso to be invaded and occupied by Bourgougian forces. During the violent Siege of Secano, up to 80% of the buildings in the province were destroyed and thousands were killed, as Carlosian forces sought to tie up the invaders and delay the Bourgougian advance into Carloso's interior. The Viernes Archives, and adjacent Secano Cathedral were almost completely destroyed during the last stand of Colonel Arits Siurana and his forces in 1947. The city was retaken by Carlosian forces in the Liberation of Secano in 1948 and extensively rebuilt and expanded in the post-war period.
