Fortuna is an autonomous province of the Freethinker Commonwealth located in the northern PL. After Fargon, it is the largest of the Freethinker overseas territories and is home to just over 100 million people. The province sits on the western shore of the Gulf of Ino and is bordered by Kouralia to the south and several other territories along a roughly defined mountainous border to the west. The province also incorporates the northern Fair Isles located a hundred miles east within the Gulf.

Relatively compact and with a high population density in comparison to the rest of the Commonwealth, the province has already begun to develop a localised culture and demography. It nonetheless retains significant cultural ties to the Mainland, and the Commonwealth maintains responsibility for the defence and diplomatic affairs of the province.

History

Fortuna has a recent past, principally the region was mostly unsettled, montane territory that sat as a borderland between several neighbouring powers. The bulk of the territory consisted of the Kouralian territory of the '

The province shares with Nova Olympia the vast majority (98%) of the Commonwealth's sapient equine population.

Climate & Geography

• Climate & Terrain: Fortuna is a located at a subtropical latitude and enjoys a coastal, mild climate. Significant amounts of the territory are foothills or montane terrain.

• Enviromental Hazards: Limited hurricane exposure, flooding and avalanche risk in mountain regions.

• Enviromental Issues: Increasing pollution levels from rapid economic growth.

Defence

Overall defence of the colony is a responsibility of the Freethinker Ministry of Defence. However, as an Autonomous Province, Fortuna raised a branched military arm as the Fortuna Defence Force to serve as its provincial armed forces. As such, there are both nationally and provincially controlled forces within the colony, although there is significant cross cooperation between the various units. The revision of legislation concerning the defence affairs of the Autonomous Provinces, Commonwealth forces are primarily geared towards external defence and force projection in the region whereas the FDF are principally charged with internal security, disaster relief and economic and border patrol functions.

As part of the Freethinker Commonwealth, all citizens go through national service between 18 and 26 (with a small number of exceptions). Military national service contracts can be completed with either provincial or national forces.
