The ancient mountain kingdom of Calder was the last territory aquirred during the conquests of the Duke of Cliffton due it's rugged unforgiving terrain and strong local support for the mountain kingdoms former government.
Above New Westminster County , Calder has the second smallest population of any province in Maanenland , moves to incorporate it into the Mountain Districts met surprisingly high levels of resistance the plan was cancelled.
The local adminstration is based in the regions largest town of Longeaton , itself with only a population of 100,000 making up roughly 90% of the entire population of the region. Politically the region is split into eight different counties with each having a Officer Designate assaigned to it , only one of 3 provinces that has this arrangement. This is so that the Commander can effectivly run a region with very poor communications. Politics in Calder is dominated by the Maanenland Minority Movement.
The economy is traditionally dominated by small sheep farming , the inaccessibility of the region has meant that tourism on the slopes has been impossible to achieve. Today a large percentage of employment comes from serving the large amounts of military personell that patrol the borders and carry out military excersizes in the area. With a GDP per capita of less than 200 it is also by far the poorest of the provinces.
