What a Province Is

Real ground, fixed identity — the atom of the map.

Annotated view of a single province: a real-world territory with glowing border, capture marker at its center, and a property table covering home country, border shape, baseline resources, specialization, capital flag and capture marker

Real Ground

A province is a real municipality, county, or region — pulled from actual map data, not hand-drawn. Its home country is fixed forever, even under enemy occupation. Each province carries a current owner, a border shape, baseline money and manpower per tick, an optional specialization that boosts one resource further, a capital flag, its cities, and one fixed capture marker where the ownership-flip mechanic anchors.

Property	What It Means
HOME COUNTRY	Fixed forever, never changes with occupation
BORDER SHAPE	Real-world outline; used once at world-build to place the capture marker
BASELINE RESOURCES	Money/tick, manpower/tick
SPECIALIZATION	Optional — boosts one resource further (steel, oil, electronics, …)
CAPITAL FLAG	Marks national capital provinces
CAPTURE MARKER	Single fixed point on a road, chosen automatically at world-build
