North Bilbarstan

North Bilbarstan is a Sub-Division in the Sultanate of Bilbarstan. It has a population of roughly 514,000 and is home to the Capital City of the Nation, Nova Stancresta.

Governance
North Bilbarstan is the only one of the 5 sub-divisions led by a biological relative of Sultan Winstanward, it is governed by his daughter, Emir Winstanette Billboard-Rus.

Etymology
The origin of the name North Bilbarstan is rather obvious, as it is located in the North of the island of Bilbarstan.

An unofficial name for the Sub-Division is "Northstanward", a colloquial term used by local residents, it is also sometimes referred to as "Winstanetteland", after its Emir, Winstanette.

A former name for this region, was Kerryland, named after Winstanward's Ex-Husband and former soulmate, Kerrystanward. After Kerrystanward became tired of Winstanward's lifestyle, he fled the nation, and changed his name to Kerry, to try and forget his past. After this betrayal, the Subdivision was renamed to simply North Bilbarstan.

Geography
Like the rest of the island, North Bilbarstan is mostly arid, with a range of hills inland, these being the ___ Hills. The Western part of this Sub-Division has a large Peninsula, named the Atkin Peninsula.

Political Geography
North Bilbarstan has two cities, the significantly larger Nova Stancresta, which despite being the nation's capital, isn't the capital of the Sub-Division, this honour going to the 2nd city of Beanblad, on the Atkin Peninsula.
