Geography
Location: The Kingdom of Edenburg is a country in the Mediterranean Region that occupies the Iberian Peninsula. On the north the country is bordered by the Bay of Biscay, on the northeast by Tyraelus. Edenburg is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on the east, and the Strait of Gibraltar on the south, and finally by the Atlantic Ocean on the west.
Edenburg is a geographically diverse country, being a peninsula it is surrounded on three sides by water, and isolating the country more is the Pyrenees mountains, which is between the Tyraelusian and Edenburgian border. The physical separation from the rest of the region has had its effect on Edenburg, it is much more continent like than many may realize.

This region also has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers, and mild winters, getting wetter the further north you go. This is the most heavilly populated region of the country, and is also where the national capital of Helena, a chief port, sits.
Schonesland: This region takes up the central part of the country. Schonesland means HIGH LAND. It is a vast and high lying plateau, cut by high mountains. (Edenburg is one of the most Mountainous Countries in the Region.) The soil is typically poor here, and forest is not common except for on high hills and mountains. short shrubs can grow, and Sheep Farming is possible. Large River valleys that cut the region is typically where some small scale farming can take place. This region is dry and receives little rain, the soil is dry and almost clay like, but the region is popular for its many Storybook style castles, and other historic sites. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are bitterly cold, and snow can be found on the mountains.
Eros Basin: This region is the region in northeastern Edenburg enclosed by the Elisabethan Mountains seperating it from the Schonesland, and the Pyrenees, separating it from Tyraelus. In this region the soil is bit more richer, and farming is very possible. This land is forested, and it is in sharp contrast to the lands in the south in that rain is generous. and Temperatures are more temperate.

Basin of Gaudelupe: This region is in southwestern Edenburg, inland from the Mediterranean region but south of the Schonesland. This region is drier, but grapes and other vine fruits, as well as wheat can be grown in this region, it is the most sparesly populated of the regions, and those who do live here do so in the river valleys. This region is very close to the African Continent, and has very hot dry summers,and milder winters, this region is almost desert like.
Western Plains: This region is the western parts of Edenburg. It is a much broader plain than the Mediterranean Plain, and is cut by more hills than mountains. it is cooler in this region, and rain is good, limited farming is possible, except along rivers, where very rich soil is, and western ports and fisheries are very successful.
