Geography
At 1,094,061 square kilometers in area, Gyre is a large nation (a little under twice the area of metropolitan France), most of which is composed of the large subcontinental island of Gyre in the North Atlantic, east of Vasconia and south of Greenland. Despite its northerly latitude it is warmed by the Gulf Stream and possesses a cold but temperate climate, save in the far north where approximately one sixth of the nation is covered in taiga. The landscape ranges from littoral plains and deeply indented bays and river valleys in the west to mountains in the east and north. The north country is intersected by extensive fjords. Snow cover ranges from several months in the south to nearly half the year in the north and the mountainous regions.
Crops grown include wheat, barley, oats, rye, and potatoes, as well as commercial timber plantations, and sheep, cattle, and dairy cows are farmed, along with goats in the mountains.
Natural hazards include avalanches, blizzards, and occasional flooding. Environmental issues include acid rain, air pollution from vehicles and industry (particularly in the south-west, which is heavily urbanized) and agricultural runoff. Commonwealth Atomics Ltd. has stated that the risk of nuclear disaster is minimal.
Natural resources include iron, coal, copper, gold, uranium, fish, timber, and zinc.
