Tupsheid ([ˈtɪps.hɪd]; alternatively Spanish: Tiposid, [tɪβoˈsið]), sometimes referred to as New South Wales (Nueva Gales del Sur) is the northernmost and most populous of Carolina’s two Patagonian provinces. The province, with its capital at New Cardiff (Nuevo Cardid), was formally established in 1914 when it was separated from the larger Province of New Wales. In official documentation, it is often referred to as Tupsheid Province to distinguish it from the eponymous peninsula. The province is internationally renowned for its Celtic heritage, natural scenery, lively pastoral traditions, and its status as a global pioneer of hydro-power.
In the 20th century, Tupsheid achieved recognition as the birthplace of infamous Caroline prime minister John Herman Vann and as the epicenter of the Patagonian Massacres scandal.
