The Floating Principality of Mephras is a nation based on a floating continent approximately the size of Russia. It strives to serve its citizens and its environment. The economy is fairly strong, however the citizens are always placed before economic gain. Mephras has had a long history with much conflict, however recently the various groups have come together to form a peace loving and laid back nation.
Mephras has a largely continental climate with a Mediterranean climate on the northern end and a slightly colder climate near the south. A large portion of the country is held within a nature preserve. This has given rise to Mephras being known as one of the most environmentally beautiful nations.
