There are also rivers running out to the Blaean Sea which has a fairly secure fishing industry.

The North is dominated by tundra and colder climates, as well as it's famous evergreen forests. The cities in the north are mostly small cities as well as a few large towns which have been known to hunt rarely in order to conserve the various species. There has been a noted gradual shrink of the tundra due global warming. It has also been thought that the shrink is due to the fact that Exoheaters in the middle of villages has become somewhat of a trend. The South is mostly temperate plains with a few hills and valleys. Recent brush fires however have turned a small amount of the south-east into what's now called "The Wasteland".

Though there are also numerous railways and roads all over the nation.
