The Province of Mekedesh (Packilvanian: LuDominimne aluMekedesh) is a high-level subnational administrative division of Packilvania. It borders Ashura to the north, Iganar to the northeast, Rigaryat to the east, Bingol and Packilvanian Ocean to the south, Subakil to the southwest, and Kharyat to the west. It is the origin of the Zubrayn Dynasty which conquered Bingol and spread throughout Packilvania from the 13th to the 17th century.

It is located in the Central East Packilvania Timezone (CEPT) at +4 UTC. Its climate consists of hot desert in the north, semi-arid areas in the north and interior, savanna in the interior and tropical rainforest in the south. Its northern parts experiences severe sandstorms during the Harmattan season and its southern parts are often subjected to cyclones during the monsoon season. The Ufrata, Meked, Abaxahad and Ebron Rivers flow through it. Water usage of the Meked and Abaxahad Rivers are a source of disputes with Iganar and water usage over the Ufrata River is a source of disputes with Ashura. Mekedesh is one of the the "front-line provinces" in the fight against desertification. Unlike many other provinces, the plan is to expand its existing savanna by propagating tree species already found there as opposed to other provinces which must introduce trees from other parts of the country.
