South Shores

South Shores, or South Shores Prefecture is a prefecture in Santa Dominica. The prefecture stretches from the southern suburbs of Santa Dominica City in the north to the Madison Mountains in the south. The prefecture gets its name from the fact that it lies south of the Dominica River. The capital of the prefecture is San Angelo, the third most populous city in the country. The land is comprised of agricultural farms and fields.

The population of South Shores is growing rapidly due to the population of the Santa Dominica Capital Area sprawling into the borders of the prefecture. This has made a staunch Conservative prefecture slightly more competitive. The prefecture has the highest population of protestants in the country, and houses the country’s Norwegian and German populations. The official languages of the prefecture are English, French, German, and Norwegian, the most of any prefecture. However, there is a push by Tory lawmakers in the prefecture to restrict the status of French.

History
The prefecture was originally settled by protestant, North-Germanic farmers who moved in slightly after the French settled farther north. The original settlers were extremely religious, and the prefecture remains a largely religious place. Most people living in South Shores are protestant, the only province without a Catholic or irreligious plurality. The most common church is the Lutheran Church.

Politics
The prefecture has been a hub of Conservative politics since the country’s founding. Many Tory leaders have come from the province, and the party has the strongest grip on this prefecture’s local politics. Despite this, some of the downtown San Angelo areas are more left-leaning.
