Location of Iganar

The Province of Iganar (Packilvanian: LuDominimne aluIganar) is a high-level subnational administrative division of Packilvania. It is bordered by Jumhurikesh to the north and east, Fidakar to the southeast, Ashura to the northwest, Mekedesh to the southwest and Rigaryat to the south.

The Meked and Jumhur Rivers flow through its territory and the Abaxahad River originates within its territory. It belongs to the Central West Packilvanian Timezone (CWPT) which is at +5 UTC. It has dry summer and grassland climates in the centre, semi arid and hot desert climates to the west and east, and savanna to the south. Its major cities include its capital and largest city, Zukaril, Qadash Kebir, Amhoudshtar, Eden, Akhastar, Qayeer, and Yahavat. The city of Akas Akil in Ashura is located less than 100km from its border, thus it often acts as a resting point on the journey of pilgrims going to the Memorial of the Jovian Gate.

Like the rest of Packilvania, its official and most widely spoken language is Packilvanian and its official and most widely practiced religion is Paxism. Its largest species are the Feline. It has the second largest population of any province in Packilvania with 145,370,700, making it one of the top 10 most populated subnational divisions on Urth (more than Caltharus in Great Morstaybishlia and nearly double the country of Norgsveldet). It has the highest nominal GDP of any subnational division in Packilvania at 1,130,984,046,000 KRB. It has a nominal GDP per capita of 7,780 KRB. Its capital Zukaril has a city-proper population of 10,560,345 people, making it the 6th most heavily populated city in Packilvania. Iganar's economy is driven by financial services, minerals, oil and natural gas, steel refining, chemicals, heavy manufacturing, and wine-making. Despite being one of the biggest hydrocarbon producers in the world, a large part of its energy comes from hydroelectric power, which has been a source of disputes with Rigaryat and Fidakar over water usage.

Its current Governor is Prince Harim a-Amhoud Bedon, the father of the incumbent Prime Minister of Packilvania, Prince Luwadeen a-Harim Bedon. The Judge-President of the Iganar High Court is Marquis Shahad Wadeeq of Kijal. It does not have a Religious Appeals Court. Seated in the Temple of Right Hand in Zukaril, Akhamast Gurunda is the Great Magister of Iganar and represents the province in the Magisterium of Paxism. It is the second most religiously repressive place in Packilvania after Ashura and among the most politically repressive and one of the most resistant to the reforms put in place by Prince Thumim a-Namdun Bedon as the Regent.
