Saltèrne—Détroit (French: [sal.tɛʁn de.tʁwa]) is a province of Ainin. With a geographic extent largely overlapping with the Saltèrne Valley and the basin of the Amis River, the province is bounded to the west and south by the Saltèrne Mountains, to the east by the Strait of Tourres and to the north by Ponant. It also shares maritime borders with Isle-Royale and land borders with Côte-Dorée, Radisson―Pays-de-l'Est and Montagnes, although there are no road connections to the last.
The province was created as part of the provincial reorganisation of 1971, when the province of Saltèrne was divided, with its western half being joined to parts of southern Linaque to form Montagnes, and the eastern half joining the extant province of Détroit to form Saltèrne—Détroit. The province's hyphenated name owes to its origin as the merger of these two historic provinces. Covering an approximate 15% of the country's landmass, Saltèrne—Détroit is the largest province in Ainin by land area and has immense ecological and climatological diversity, ranging from tropical rainforests to alpine permafrost.
Its capital and largest city is Amis, which is also its largest metropolitan area. Other major cities include Del, a suburb of Huimont that is home to Esquarium's longest transoceanic bridge and Lac-Saint-Sauveur, the administrative seat of the former Saltèrne province. Template:Provinces of Ainin
