The Kingdom of Spana has a number of provinces and marches that have developed over the years. Originally geographic regions, under Amina Araman the provincial system has been strengthened considerably.

Geographically the Peninsula of Hispania runs from the Pyrenees Mountains to the sea. However the provinces of Godosa and Tolosa lie either partially or fully north of the mountains. However for convenience they are listed here.

The Province of Centrajo is the most important province in Spaña. The name comes from the fact that the province consists of the central Tagus region (or Tajo in the native language). It stretches several hundred miles and is bordered in the west by Portugal and Lusitania, and in the east by Iberia. The province completely enclosed the central mountains of the peninsula and stretches south to a ling going east from the Mountains of Toledo. At its center along the River Tagus stands the city of Toledo, the ancient capital of the peninsula and the city of the Christian Umayyads.

Abd ar-Rahman conquered the city in 762, defeating the governor of Al-Andalus Yusuf al-Fihri outside its walls. Ever since that time it has been the capital of the state. Militarily it was sacked and burned during the Consulate War in 804. Since then it only say military action in the recent War of Spañan Succession when it was unsuccessfully besieged by armies led by the former Vizrey of Spaña, Garcia Maurez. Currently the population of the capital is around 300,000 and it is the largest city in Spaña by a significant margin, over-topping both Lisboa and Sevilla by 100,000 people. The province itself has the most land directly owned by the monarchy in terms of area.

Because of the prescience of the capital, there are few larges cities nearby. The population is centered around the Tagus itself broadening out north and south as you travel west. A growing center of population is around the Alcazar Misufa in the north, the headquarters of the Spañan military complex.

The economy of the province revolves around the capital and the upper echelons of the government. Universities in the capital are the primary source of the administrative secretariat, the largest of the state Agencies. There is also a significant artistic community of sculptors, musicians, writers, crafters and painters due to the high concentration of wealthy patrons. Because so many roads lead near or through the capital, it also has a high population of foreign born residents (about 12%) and is largely acknowledged as a major western city. However the practical bent of most of the monarchs of the kingdom has kept the capital from achieving significant renown as a center of scholarship. Outside of the capital, extensive irrigation projects have utilized the Tagus and other rivers and streams to irrigate the otherwise dry soils of the southern part of the province. Staple agricultural produce are wheat, grapes and olives. The north toward the mountains has a great deal of forested land used for recreation, game, and some timber. Some husbandry is also practiced, particularly in the hotter western parts of the province which is known for its pork and goats.

Galicia Province is one of the oldest, having a history stretching back to the Romans and beyond, the Sueb, the Visgoths and even the Mulsims. Never the less Galicia threw off Muslim rule and Alfonso the Catholic was able to assert his control over the region by 740. It was where Abd ar-Rahman went after he took service with Alfonso. Abd ar-Rahman organized the defense of the region and supported the interests of the populace against Mauregato, the illegitimate son of Alfonso. This caused him to come into conflicts with the king but he persuaded Alfonso of his cause. During this time Abd ar-Rahman defeated some small Berber incursions extending the Galician border south and made himself known to the local Berbers. Though Abd ar-Rahman was an apostate, the Berbers were oppressed by the Arabs of the central administration and lacked good land. They did not pass this information along to al-Fihri and ceased raiding Galicia.

The Galicians were instrumental in Abd ar-Rahman's conquests. They helped Elipando attack and capture Porto, and soldiers from Galicia fought in many of Abd ar-Rahman's campaigns. Many moved south into better lands in the province of Portugal, spreading their language which is generally known as Sueviabol for “Suebi-land's language.” During the Consulate War, Mauregato led the Galician nobility in revolt against Salamon I but was defeated and killed by the future Ramiro I. Toward the end of the war, an invasion restored Salamon's rule in Galicia and Eder Abarran returned to defend the approaches to his own Oviedo. He defeated the Spaniards at Compostela and laid siege to Iria Flavia only to be undone by a young woman, St. Uxia. She discovered the bones of Santiago while foraging for food during the siege and urged the populace to emerge with the relics. The garrison emerged and unexpectedly routed Eder Abarran's army cementing Galicia's presence in Spana.

In the decades after the war, Ramiro's daughter Aiza was given in marriage to Vimara Peres, the Count of Iria closely associating the two houses. Together they developed the Holy City of Iria into a great center of Christianity and defended the province ably from the attacks of vikings who found the Kingdom of Tolosa easier pickings than Spana. Their son Viedo was the leading commander during the Reclamacion and together with Imato de Lejon defended the province from the great viking invasion of the 870s and gained the title Marquio de Suevia for his trouble. During this time trade began to grow significantly and Galicia had numerous contacts with the Maghreb trade fleets and from this sub-branch eventually came the most famous of the Galicians, the great commander Rolando El Espada Oportuno who rose to fame in the Roman Wars.

Galicia's economy is largely based on fishing and small farming. The Cooperative system of farming has become extremely popular in some parts of the region increasing output. Trade has formed a growing part of the economy for the last century and generates significant income along the coastal areas. Trade is primarily with Africa and across the Vizcaya Bay from Breton to Ireland. It's population is low-to-moderate. Recetly rumors have begun to appear that certain fishing expeditions are occurring jointly with the Irish in very distant waters…

The Province of Granada was officially founded in 794. It was formed out of the territory of the emirate of Illibera that arose following the collapse of central authority and the death of the governor of Al-Andalus, al-Fihri. Becoming a vassal to the Kingdom of Asturias, it survived Djafar ibn Abdallah's attempt at reconstituting the province of Al-Andalus under the Abbasids and sent some troops to assist the Christians at Rio Carbones in 771. When it refused to send troops against the Idrisids in 789 preferring a Muslim victory, Eder Abarran conquered the capital city for Salamon I in 794 when the Jews opened the gates to his army. In gratitude Salamon renamed the city Granada after the Jewish quarter and it became a center for Jewish life and scholarship in Spaña.

The Province itself has always had a distinctly Jewish character, with some parts being majority Jewish in population. Historically there has been some tension with the accusations of proselytizing between Jews and Christians and that tendency is growing. However politically the Jews of the province are conspicuous in support of the state and are generally supported by the monarchy. In fact the current Vizrey of Spana is Marcus who is the brother of the Count of Granada and was the Count of Granada before being raised up.

Because of its legacy, Granada provided and early link to the eastern and Africa trade via Jewish contacts in the Maghreb and points farther east. Even today Jews constitute the majority of Spanan merchants who travel to the Levant. In the 10th century Granada itself became a center of significant learning with the foundation of the medical college in collaboration between the Granadines and Queen Azalais. This has led to a general expansion of Jewish scholarship in both secular and religious areas–the later inspired by the decline of the Muslim population in the state in the last century. The population of Granada itself is considered moderate-to-high, consisting of about 1.5 million.

The Province of Iberia was created in 1136 by Amina Araman. It was the third province created in the provincial reorganization of her reign and the first not based on an earlier administrative division. The province extends south from the Iberian Mountains until it reaches the Central Mountains north of the Tagus. In the east it extends to the border of Valencia province, and to the Arlanza River and Lejon Province in the west.

It is sparsely populated with its main feature a highway linking Vallalida to the Ebro valley. Originally the Roman Road passed through the town of Soria. This town revived somewhat during Abd ar-Rahman's conquest of the peninsula, but after the Consulate War it became a region of raids and unrest between the Kingdom of Tolosa and the Kingdom of Spanan. Consequently a fortress and paved road was built farther south where Huasan de Oriola built a hill fort along the Duero in the decades after the war on the orders of Ramiro the Wise. This fort later became the town of Alnumaza and its importance lay in its position on the frontier. After the Reclamacion was completed, it declined in the 10th century but was refortified extensively under Amina Araman's construction program during the War of Spanan Succession and became the provincial capital under the rule of Alonso de Algarve, its first General Administrator.

The Province of La Mancha was created in 1049 during the co-Monarchy of Alejandro III and León Araman. Previous to that date it had been a part of what was know as the Royal Domain (765-1050) the center of the peninsula. It's existence owes to the support it provided to León during his conflict with his uncle Lucas Almaghreb for which it was rewarded with the great autonomy of all provinces. The region itself as a long history, with its primary economy based around transhumance of goats and sheep due to the difficulties the climate presents for agriculture. What agriculture there is, consists of cereals, olives and wine. One important crop is saffron which was re-introduced by the Muslims of Al-Andalus and continued under Abd ar-Rahman's dynasty.

Historically a major demographic change occurred in La Mancha. Under the rule of Ramiro the Wise, his Zenata Berber allies were encouraged to move to the peninsula and many did so in large numbers over the succeeding decades. They modified their previous lifestyle which was largely nomadic, to transhumance. Extensive irrigation projects were put in place by Ramiro the Wise and later under Ramiro II in the areas where it was possible and those areas became more settled. The farms in the area are smaller farms with few as yet, of the agricultural cooperatives that have sprung up elsewhere. The population of the province is generally low, and made up of about equal parts Berber and pre-Berber population. However intermarriage has been increasingly common since at least the later 10th Century and ethnic rivalries have dwindled considerably.

Historically there was conflict between the pastoralists and the agriculturalists over land rights and these disputes have been a repeated feature of local life, with the state mainly acting to balance competing interests and keep violence to a minimum. Recently however, the cooperatives have finally begun to make inroads and are tipping the balance of power away fr fom the pastoral organization for the first time.

La Mancha's local eagle is widely thought to be the model for the raptor on the dynastic flag of the Christian Umayyads.

The Province of Lejón was established in 869 when the city was captured by forces led by Duke Viedo Vimaranes in the Reclamacion after a long siege. It's loss was significant, giving the Spaniards command of the northern highlands and moving the border with the Kingdom of Tolosa much farther east. After the viking invasion of the 870s, the rule of the city was given to the most distinguished of the local Spanan commanders, Imato, a commander of mixed Arab and Gothic ancestry from the Maghreb.

The population of the Lejón is considered moderate in size and centered around the northern region and along the rivers and roads that cross the province. Notable cities include Vallalida, Astorica, and Salamanca. The economy of Lejón is based on farming and herding. The major crop is grain, but there are significant strands of fruit trees and vineyards especially around Vallalida. The most common occupation in the province is pastoral, with the city of Lejon being an important center of the wool trade and industry. Cattle and pork are also important to the economy.

The Province of Lusitania was created by Amina Araman in 1151, but the region is much older. For many years the region, usually known as Lisboa after its chief city, was semi-autonomous. After the collapse of central authority in Al-Andalus the small Muslim kingdom of Al-isbona sided with Djafar ibn Abdallah. After Rio Carbones they gave refuge to Elipando in his rebellion against Abd ar-Rahman after being driven out of the northwest by Peres Gonzales. Occupied elsewhere, Abd ar-Rahman sent his trusted friend the Greek Bedr to ravage the province for harboring the rebel. Bedr however found the province restive and Elipando risen to a position of great power. Hated by the populace however, they overthrew their rulers and Elipando and were joined to the state very briefly. Instead, Abd ar-Rahman gave the region to Bedr as a reward for his long service, founding the Marca Lisboa. A semi-independent state, Bedr was pursued his own foreign policy and gave refuge to Greeks who sought refuge from the disorder caused by the collapse of Byzantine power in the western Mediterranean in the 8th century. Departing from the Maghreb and other places to serve under Bedr, they brought knowledge and experience in administration to the region so that it developed some Greek characteristics in its language.

The Marca fought on the same side as the Christian Umayyads during the Consulate War and the Reclamacion and his son Mutamidos proved loyal and tenacious in defense of prince Ramiro in the former. When the line failed, the Spaniards took possession of the region in 906, installing Antonio Saavedra who was married to the last surviving member of Bedr's line. Since then Lisboa became a region of immense prosperity and population. It's trading fleets plied the Africa coast south and east, regularly stopping at the coastal cities like Malaga, Tunis, Mersa, Dzayer, Caliastra, Palermo and Messina. While not as common, it was still routine for ships to trade with cities like Bari, Tripoli and the islands of Crete, Cyprus and Rhodes. During the late 11th Century it was common to see ships from Lisboa in port at Alexandria, Gaza, Acre and Antioch. The capital of the province, Lisboa, is one of the largest cities in Spana, with a population of 189,000 as of 1100.

Aside from trade and commerce, agriculture is an important part of the economy. Thanks to irrigation and the use of land management, Portugal produces very large amounts of cereals, citrus, wine, pork and other plants like leaf vegetables, mushrooms and olives. Almost anything can grow in the province with enough work and the vast majority of the land is gathered into large or medium agricultural cooperatives who struggle against the merchants of the cities with some success. This is partially due to the presence of the university of Silves, founded by Alkindus which pioneered a number of agricultural advances which have since spread to Europe. It's population is very high.

The Province of Orihuela is a new one, created in 1155, but the region has a long history. At the time of the Muslim conquest, a Visigothic noble named Theudimer was able to wrest a treaty from the invading forces that allowed him to keep the lands in the southeast. When Abd ar-Rahman captured Cordoba in 764, the Christians in the region that became Orihuela rebelled and began attacking their neighbors to the west in a piecemeal fashion. After allying with the Illibera, Abd ar-Rahman imposed his overlordship on the region to end the attacks. Some of these lords were conciliated but some were not, including the grandson of Theudimer himself. It was only during the Consulate War that the region was at last fully subdued with the aid of Husayn of Valencia and the Granadines. Ramiro the Wise later settled numbers of Christian Berbers in the region.

The province itself was only created by Amina Araman, before that it's territory had been parceled out between Granada and Valencia provinces owing to its restive nature in its formative years.

The population of Orihuela is moderate and depends largely on the trade with Africa and the western Mediterranean. However the prominence of Valencia and the coastal towns of Granada Province has kept the region from developing strong agriculture which is possible due to its warm climate. However it currently lacks significant irrigation and so it's population and output is below potential.

The Province of Portugal originated when the former bishop Elipando was able to capture the city of Porto in 763 after Abd ar-Rahman's conquest of Toledo upset the unity of Al-Andalus. The name itself derives from the Roman town of Portus Cale. Portugal has a moderate-to-high population especially along the coast, with the population centered in Coimbra, Aviara and Porto which is also its major port. The interior of the province is mostly mountainous, with some hotsprings such as the royal resort at Caldas. Local towns in the east generally depend on a mix of agriculture and animal husbandry as in the town of Brecanta. Brecanta itself is notable as the place of exile for Queen Amina Araman during her girlhood.

The economy of Portugal is diverse for the period. The mountains offer quantities of ores like tin, copper, silver and iron which continue to be exploited even after centuries. Fishing forms a strong industry along the coastline and is combined with salt exports to Africa in part but mostly to northern Europe. Leather and dyes are also among notable exports.

Historically there was some Muslim and Arab influence in the southern parts of the province thanks to the city of Coimbra which was originally the center of a small state after the collapse of Al-Andalus but which eventually allowed itself to be annexed by Abd ar-Rahman under certain conditions. Notably, Salamon I took Aixa, a daughter of the Muslim ruler of Coimbra as his wife before the death of his brother made him Abd ar-Rahman's heir. This dynasty however, went extinct as a consequence of the turbulent 9th century viking assaults on the coast leaving the Juassanids as the only surviving Arabo-Gothic dynasty in the peninsula outside of the ruling family.

The capital of the province of Portugal is Aviara, located midway between the two major cities of Coimbra and Porto.

Valencia Province has existed since the earliest foundations of the state in 774. It first came under the control of the state when the Emir of Zaragoza attacked his son in law to prevent him from staying loyal to Abd ar-Rahman in the coming war between them. Husayn called upon his western allies and by the time the Zaragoza war was over, Valencia was a province of the kingdom and Husayn one of the handful of Muslim nobility and the founder of the Juassanid family.

The province itself has a variety of elevations and climate conditions with the soil near the coast having moderate to high fertility. Agriculture is difficult due to the terrain and lack of rivers, but extensive use of terraced farming has helped supply enough food to feed a province with high population and provide a number of orange and lemon groves. The province is relatively resource poor but does boast some quality marble that has been used in homes of the wealthy as far away as the capital and some of the local government buildings. Valencia is also a major center of Spanan paper making, having some of the best quality products in the kingdom for domestic use and export.

The economic lifeblood of the province is trade, centered on Valencia itself. Historically it has been the “Port of Kings” as expeditions to Italy and the Levant led by the kings as diverse as Salamon I, Ortiz, and Alejandro III have departed from it. As such it has a major harbor of which only Barcelona and Narbona can compare along that coastline. Major routes from Tunis, the Kingdom of Sicily and Rome all go to Valencia. It's cosmopolitan nature is apparent and its merchants somewhat notorious for their ruthlessness. Notable residents of the past include the Halcóna family. The current Count of Valencia is the aged Anthon Pero de Játiva, who gained his position by his marriage to an heiress of the senior line of the previous ruling family, Orecca Almagre.
