Location of Florencia.

Florencia is a province of Talossa. Called "the nacho-shaped province", Florencia is Talossa's smallest province by area, but home to some of the more storied spots in Talossa.

As a reaction to the establishment of a 99-year dictatorship in Benito (later rescinded), Art Verbotten, a resident of Florencia Canton, declared the secession of the canton, citing the existence of a different Cestour culture and character in Florencia than in northern Benito. After a short struggle with opponents to the secession, Florencia was declared Talossa's sixth province on 1 September 1996/XVII, with the passage of Talossan statute 20RC31. The province maintained the name it had held as a canton, a name chosen to honour Talossa's Queen Florence. The early flag of the province was emblazoned with the words SÅ VIVA L'QINEU, early Talossan for "Long Live the Queen".

Verbotten became Florencia's first governor, and served many years in the post. He also was instrumental in the drafting of the Constitution of the province, last revised under his guidance in 2002, and last amended in whole on 15 November 2011.

The capitol of Florencia province is the Landmark Building, unless an incumbent Governor, Senator, or Constable resides within the provincial borders.

Florencia is the nominal home of Talossa's adopted National Football League franchise, the Florencia Packers.
