Providence
The Township of Providence is a small suburb of Urbis City that was incorporated on May 20, 2024. It is the de facto headquarters of the Cubeaist Church in Faru. It is unique among the settlements in Faru in that it is majority Gilgerian, an ethnicity originating from a country that had long disappeared from the face of the earth.

Library
Providence is home to one of the prominent libraries within Faru, known as the "Words of Wikia Public Library". Its home to many works, including those in the genres of Fiction, Folktales, and Political Manifestos. It is also the primary repository for Gilgerian cultural tales as well as historical documents related to old Gilgeria. It is currently maintained by Jerry Attrick.
Charter
The Charter of Providence was promulgated on May 22, 2024. Written by local political upstart John McHale, the charter seeks to outline a framework for the democratic governance of the Township under a Council and Mayor, as well.
The first meeting of the Providence Council took place later that day, during which local pastor Jack Miller was elected mayor, and fellow Gilgerian businessman D3rpy McD3rp was granted residency despite hailing from the island of Astad.
Politics
Currently, the township is dominated by members of the Party of Prosperity, Security, and Unity (PPSU), including Jack Miller and John McHale. Despite this, the towns politics break from the party line in that they are distinctly anti-unitarian, and they play host to McHales' Autonomist Caucus, a non-partisan organization dedicated to the promotion of autonomy for minorities and regions within Faru. The community has a particular distaste for the Liberal-Conservative Senator Nikola Vucevic, who currently represents the township in the Senate as member for Urbis. This personal animosity can also be seen in a sort of rivalry between Providence and Urbis, which are only separated by a small river. The township maintains exceptionally good relations with fellow minority-majority Chevaporozhia. It also maintains strong ties to the village of Kickassia, which was founded by friends of John.
