Zuidvis

Zuidvis is the southernmost province of Doggerland. It covers most of the southern tip of the main island along with two additional islets (Byrne and Barretti). It is primarily split between English-Speaking and Dutch-Speaking communities. It has a relatively high population density with most of the land being urban. Its capital and largest city is the port city of Mistlân.

History
The Zuidvis region was always shrouded in mystery by its distinctive fog. Native Doggers rarely ventured to the southern tip of the island for they could not see it. The first people to establish a permanent settlement were the Dutch. Dutch merchants and explorers first landed on the islets off the coast of the mainland of Zuidvis. They then ventured onto the shores and established the town of Rotsibaai. Other Dutch settlers in what is now Zuipont founded the city of Kensingston at that time. There, Dutchmen hunted fur seals, whales, and fish off of the coast. Rotsibaai and Kensington both served as ports in which they could ship their stocks back to the Netherlands. Rotsibaai, in particular, was popular with traders of sheep stocks. After many years of Dutch habitation, the English landed in Wallingham Bay and re-developed the abandoned settlement of Mistlân. Through the next decades and beyond, the Dutch and English clashed with each other and the native Doggers. The Dutch eventually pulled ahead and officially founded the province of Zuidvis. Despite the Dutch rule, the largest city of Mistlân still remained almost fully English. This continues to spark tensions to this day.

Geography
Zuidvis enjoys a mild and wet climate year-round due to its proximity to the ocean. Zuidvis is widely known for its heavy fog. The terrain is mostly semi-mountainous with patches of low-lying areas across the coast. A majority of Zuidvis is developed land, including the islets. The small remainder of the land is a protected forest. There is a very small agricultural sector. Zuidvis is known for its beautiful regional parks.
