History
146AD - In 146AD King Eades divides the kingdom of Greater Holdinia between Lord Knights that remained loyal to him during the war. Sir Fredderick Mont-Canisi is made Lord Knight of Mont-Canisi.
151 - Lord Knight Fredderick Mont-Canisi divides his province into 27 counties, which he names after and gives power to his son's, daughter's, brother's, nephew's and other family members. At the time the Mont-Canisi Province was very little populated and each county became virtually very large private estates for the Mont-Canisi family members.
1641 - Solina made capital of Mont-Canisi Province.
Geography
Mont-Canisi is a land-locked province in central St Samuel. The province borders Lyonais Province, Brunswick Province, Malberg Province, Ector-De-Maris Province, St Amand Province and De Molay Province.
Physical geography & Climate
Most of Mont-Canisi is covered by mountains.
The province is crossed by the Isldère river, which has its source in the Mont Idlemand pass. Its two main lakes are Lake Bouliere (the largest and deepest lake entirely in St Samuel) and Lake Amberberdette, one of the least polluted in St Samuel due to a 1960's law forbidding any use of motorboats on the lake.
The Mont-Casini climate is generally temperate, but can vary greatly between the localities, from glacial conditions on the mountain tops to the often pleasant Mediterranean climate in the east. Summer tends to be warm and humid at times with periodic rain so it is ideal for pastures and grazing. The winters in the mountains alternate with sun and snow, while the lower lands tend to be more cloudy and foggy in winter. The driest conditions persist in the eastern valleys which valuable saffron is harvested and many grapes are grown, Freddericksburg also tends to be drier in climate and slightly colder, yet with plentiful snow in winter. The wettest conditions persist in the mountainous counties and in the west which has much sun yet heavy bursts of rain from time to time. The north tends to be colder than the west of the province, yet anywhere up high in the mountains can experience a cold spell at any time of the year. Precipitation tends to be spread moderately throughout the year, with minor variations across the seasons depending on locale. Autumn frequently tends to be the driest season, yet the weather patterns in Mont-Canisi can be highly variable from year to year, and very difficult to predict.

Culture
Many mountain areas have a strong highly energetic ski town culture in winter, and a hiking/wandering culture in summer. Some areas throughout the year have a recreational culture that caters to tourism, yet the quieter seasons are spring and autumn when there are fewer visitors. A traditional farmer and herder culture also predominates in many areas, and this connection to the land and agriculture is a strong glue holding all the Mont-Canisian's together. Even though most no longer actually farm themselves, the small farms are omnipresent outside the cities, and as well many Mont-Canisian's at least have a small garden plot or many window boxes with geraniums and other flowers.
Sport
Winter sports, including skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, ice hockey, curling, tobogganing, bobsleigh and dogsled racing are all very popular in the province and football, as with all St Samuel provinces is a way of life. AC Solina and Ambolini Wanderers are the two biggest clubs in Mont-Casini.
