Tirol is a sovereign state located in the north-eastern region of Ecros. It is predominantly mountainous, situated north-west of Quebecshire. The five Tiroler provinces have longstanding traditions that predate the establishment of the Free State of Tirol in 1893: Provinzia Inn, Ziller, Trentin, Passeier, and Adesc. The Innsbruck Autonomous District was separated from Provinzia Inn during the mid 20th century. In Innsbruck, the city council and mayor function as a provincial government.
