Overview

Arturrian Geography

Arturria is a large nation, and this allows it to ecompass highly varied landscapes. The nation consists of two large islands (Fair Arturria to the north and Arturria Amoroso to the south) and many smaller islands, including Olke Tobe, Greathorizon Island and Sealand. These maps outline the major geographical features of the nation.

Arturrian States

Arturria is a federal republic and therefore consists of multiple states, each with semi-autonomous administration. One of these maps shows the state borders in the nation of Arturria. The following is a list of the 21 states, of which New Leningrad is a federal city:

  1. Farreachland (Presipifall)
  2. Disoceania (Korkeon)
  3. Great Sealand (Yellow Beach)
  4. Old Vümena (Veirö River City)
  5. Oceania (Green Bay City)

Arturrian Symbols

Arturrian Flag

The Arturrian flag (shown in the info box at the top of this page) is divided into four colourful sections. Each sector symbolises a season of the year, clockwise from top left: spring, summer, winter, autumn. The summer and winter sections have, respectively, a sun and a snowflake to symbolise the appropriate weather. Spring displays a treble clef, which shows the country's links with music, while autumn shows a Greek letter - symbolic of a link with languages. The red star in the centre unifies the four sectors, just as socialism unifies the various regions of the country.

National Anthem

The Arturrian national anthem varies depending on the season of the year. This is because the country has adopted A. Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and only the appropriate part of the composition to the current season is played.

One unique feature of Arturrian orchestral music is the use of the A clef by some standard orchestral instruments. This clef rests on the lowest line of the staff, thus identifying it as the A above middle C.
