Presbury (/ˈprɛsbɜːi/), officially the Sovereign Province of Presbury, is a province within the Heldervinian Socialist Autocratic Reich. It borders Berush to the north, Tuujarnia to the East, and the Great Heldervinian Ocean to the south and east. Having a population of 17,837,913 and a land area of 293,934, Presbury has the lowest density per square kilometer of any province in Heldervin, at 60.68. Its capital is Presbury.
The Vrebsicourg Republic was the first country to claim and control the area of Presbury. Following a bloody war that lasted from 1849 to 1857, Presbury became a part of Heldervin. After the end of the war, Presbury experienced an economically stagnant state.
Historically, the cotton, sweet potato, and timber industries have supported the Presburian economy.
History
Precolonial era
The earliest evidence of human inhabitance in modern-day Presbury was discovered in Cantorlia. Arrows and armour have been found here dating 5,000 to 3,000 BL. It is suggested that these people were hunter gatherers.
Inhabitants of the region later domesticated sweet potatoes. An archaeological site in Caligratia revealed ancient irrigation ways, likely used by the Biʻilon Civilization
