Province: Askapius
Denonym: Askapian
Prefix/suffix: Askapo-
Capital: Ikasumi (イカ墨)
Known for: Luxury Onsens, Utari culture fusion
Capital population: 2.2M
Cities:
Online domain/ IATA: AK, ASK
Description:
From Utari As+Kapiw = Hear the gull!) Because a large number of Utari people were used to explore the newly found continent, once collectively called Askapius, and the sing of seagulls was the first thing they noticed when reaching the mainland.

One of the top least inhabited and top most Tomonese prefectures of Ackacqua due to the same reason; a seizable number of Utari can be found in the largest wharves.

Province: Yuko
Debonym: Yukoan
Prefix/suffix: Yuko-
Capital: Bekkou (鼈甲)
Known for: Aurora borealis, winter safaris
Capital population: 895.2K
Cities:
Online domain/ IATA: YK, YUK
Description:
The second prefecture to be created after Askapius, due to the distance from Ikasumi it was needed to.

The etymology of Yuko comes from Tomonese 優光, meaning excellent light, this because there isn't much light throughout the year compared to other places more southward, but when there are lights (Aurora borealis especially), they are beautiful and useful.

Province: Quanash
Debonym: Quanashi
Prefix/suffix: Quana-
Capital: Cheslatta
Known for:
Capital population: 556K
Cities:
Online domain/ IATA: QN, QNA
Description:
From Qamas' flower because it's popular within the region, after the Tomonese expanded South, and enough people moved to the more temperate climate of Quanash, it became its own prefecture breaking up from Yuko.
The prefecture is a bit of a logistical challenge for both Ocamia and Ackacqua, since it gives access to Ocamia to the sea thus generating tensions between the two.

Province: Wampum
Denonym: Wampumese
Prefix/suffix: Wampo-
Capital: Klipsan
Known for: Seashells
Capital population: 890K
Cities:
Online domain/IATA: WP, WPM
Description:
Wampum ワンプン (white shells) not from minaiscum but from Narragansett white shells slang for money or rich or porcelain.
White is related to west thus Wampum being so far West.
Comes from Wampumpeag compound of wamp white, umpe string and ag plural because they were commonly produced there.

Province: Faradallon
Debonym: Faradache
Prefix/suffix: Faro-
Capital: Cannaway
Known for: Lighthouses
Capital population: 1.2M
Cities:

Capital: Sōkō City
Known for: Having many South Tianxian immigrants, earthquakes
Capital population: 8.9M

The etymology from both Paradisias comes from the Castainiard Empire, when it discovered the peninsula. Myths about cities paved with gold started sprouting until the place was described as heaven on earth, thus Paradise + -ia was adopted as the name for the territory.

Province: Fucara
Debonym: Fucanese
Prefix/suffix: Fuco-
Capital:
Known for: Red color, military culture
Capital population: 2.5M
Cities:

Capital population: 4.5M
Cities:
Online domain/ IATA: CM, CMY

Chimayo temple is subject of many pilgrimages coming from Huitzimilco and the Oshachan.

Both flags from Oshachque and Chimayo portray the Chimayoan sun, and depict vivid talavera colors, due to the pottery practices in colonial times under the Castainiard empire.
