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 South Atlantic, east of Ambara between 25 and 40 degrees south. It is warmed by the southern extension of the Southern Equatorial Current and possesses a cold but temperate climate, save in the far south 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 south. The south country is intersected by extensive fjords. Snow cover ranges from several months in the north to nearly half the year in the south and the mountainous regions.

Crops grown include wheat, barley, oats, rye, and potatoes, as well as commercial timber plantations, and sheep, llamas, cattle, and dairy cows are farmed.

Natural hazards include avalanches, blizzards, and occasional flooding. Environmental issues include air pollution from vehicles and industry and agricultural runoff.

Natural resources include iron, coal, copper, gold, uranium, fish, timber, and zinc.
