The Dominion Commonwealth of Azaranthia Factbook
Geography
Area: 4,5600 square kilometers
Terrain: The Dominion is a land of rich beauty, the environment having been zealously defended by the politicians and the backing of the populace. Large, exotic forests cover most of the nation, with logging companies here and there, carefully cutting down pine, ash, oak, and the other woods needed for their businesses and following the careful policies set by the government. On the north side of the nation, is the Kalacii mountain range, the only mountains in the nation and a fantastic tourist spot. It is here that the Matriach herself has a luxurious home, that is built into the highest mountain, adequately named Alexandria after the Matriach. That isn't the only hotspot for tourists in the Dominion, for the long beaches on the east coast of Azaranthia, the only part of the country with access to the sea, are major spots of tourism, as well as trade. The many ports and shipyards are sites of major trade with other countries. However, as beautiful as nature is, some visitors may prefer the cities and the government of Azaranthia has gone to great lengths to provide for it's people and it's guests.
With brilliant silver and white structures, the large steel spires of the many cities are a gorgeous sight to behold. The many businesses and corporations have set up shop in these cities, watched carefully by government inspectors and the police so as to ensure fairness, and to prevent corruption. The various neighborhoods of the cities are full of friendly, kind citizens who will be glad to help you and make your stay enjoyable. There are many hotels and other places to stay in as well as many key locations that make up Azaranthian culture. The Shrine to Grand Matriach Alexia is one, a holy place of utter sanctity to all citizens and the place where new Matriachs are selected and give their inauguration speeches. And the star-shaped Hall of Heroes is the main building for military operations, serving as the heart of all operations and where the military watches vigilantly over their nation. Military bases are a common sight, seen around some cities and deep within the jungles and in the mountain range of the Dominion, as well as naval bases.
