Tolia is a city-province located on the north-western coast of La Rossa. Once home to a bustling mining industry and manufacturing sector, it has seen an economic collapse following the Silver Crisis, which left a third of its population in poverty, highest in the nation at the time. Historically, it has been home to the affluent Barozzo Family, which held a significant hold on its businesses and economy prior to La Denunzia, boasting high degrees of wealth considering the size of the city. The city's population counts 74,000 citizens, with an additional 21,000 hailing from the surrounding towns and villages.

Due to the extraordinary economic impacts the Silver Crises left on the city, surpassing even those on the rest of the island, the small city of Tolia stood as the fiery center of the revolution that ensued. Home to the revolutionary leader Giulio Falcone, he was swiftly crowned the island's Dux following the announcement of the fall of the government in Buglio. The following years saw the great dismantlement of the ruling Families' riches, yet proved unable to offset the depression in production.

Remaining the poorest city on the island, owing to an abandoned manufacturing sector and lackluster inflow of investment, the city remains a strongly-held political bastion of the Rossan opposition, marked most strongly by its anti-elitist stance against the Six Families of aristocrats that ruled the island throughout most of its national history, and the growing sentiment against Rossan internationalism. Dux Falcone, despite his policies being mostly abandoned by the more moderate leaders that followed him due to his increasing authoritarianism, remains a highly popular figure in the region.

Government

The city-province's local governance is left to the Advisor (or Dux) representing the area. Directly elected through a popular vote, the governor often delegates their duties to an appointed advisory body, which recommends measures and policies concerning local issues for the governor to sign off on. As all power formally rests in the governor, the appointees are, albeit uncommonly, able to be replaced without a public vote on the matter.
