Ellinesa, officially the Province of Ellinesa, is a province of Seketan. Made of two distinct regions, the heartland on the Ellinesan Islands in the Ellinesan Sea and the hinterland of the Tjalese Coast and Hyskeanþ Mountains. Ellinesa has borders with Gjenor and Nelderjen to the south and Giorgi-Alesk to the east. The provincial capital and largest city is Porta on the Alyþan Island. With a population of 604,095, it is the second least populated province in Seketan, though it is also the fastes growing province in Seketan, with a 200% growth rate since 1980. A vast majority of the population live on the Ellinesan Islands
Historically, Ellinesa comprised of the islands and the Tjealese Coast, with the northern mountains being entirely unknown until the 1850's with the Secetan Imperium giving the land north of what had been mapped out on the Tjealese coast was given to the Duke of Ellinesa. On the islands the geography is charecterized by hills and valleys, covered with dense forest. The coast is marked by a foothills and the Seketese shield. The non-mountainous hinterland is quite shallow, with the large Hyskeanþ Mountains taking up the almost the entirety of the north, with only some flat valleys along the coast.
Today Ellinesa is a hub of Seketan's information technology and energy sector, based largely in Porta. Massive natural gas deposits in the Geša Valley (shared with Giorgi-Alesk) fuel Seketan's energy industry. Ellinesa has the highest Human development index of the Seketese provinces, though this is unevenly dispursed with the quality of life in northern communities signifcantly lower than on the islands.
