Constituency profile
Antillea is the historical name for the general region north of the San Chico river. It origins are unknown, but may be a corruption of the Brommanikhan word "Amtiliya" meaning "land of hills".
During the Bromannikha Dynasty, Antillea was home to the landed gentry, with many large manors and estates still dotting the landscape. Much of this wealth has been depleted over the centuries but new wealth moved to the region in the 630s. In the most recent census, the average reported household income was ₣258,000.
Demographically, Antillea is older, with the median age being 45.7. The homeownership rate is 89.9%, one of the highest in the Republic. The area has a high percentage of religious followers with around 61%.

Political History
The constituency of Antillea was separated from the constituency of Kanapés in 635, as the area saw a population boom in the aftermath of the quarantine by the Assembly of Nations. The largely untouched countryside was attractive to wealthier citizens who flocked to the area and leaving the decaying major cities. It is a fiercely conservative region of the Republic.
In the 636 Kodiak General Election, Albert Olsson became Antillea's first MGA. He was part of the government's right leaning coalition. Ever since, Antillea has elected members of the National Unity Party. It was deemed as among the party's safest seats, however in recent years their grip has loosened due to the civil war and the antics of Antillea's MGA and Chancellor Felix Hurst. The most recent election in 675 saw a result of 46% for the party.
Antillea absorbed the northern parts of constituency of Marlborough in April of 677.
Current MGA Christopher Blackadder has served since 672.
