Geographical Information

Macdonvland consists of two islands in the Bibliographic Ocean, in the BookCrossing region. The larger island consists of five provinces, Essex, Maxwell, Montclaire, Columbe, and Newenham. The smaller island is the province of Mann. The landscape of Macdonvland is largely lush, green land, with many forests, and beautiful, clear-blue lakes. The Macdonv Mountain Range stretches southwest for 325 miles from the East coast, and is remarkable for the great hiking trails and fantastic views. Macdonvland National Forest spans the border between the provinces of Essex and Maxwell, and is home to myriad wildlife, including the national animal, the Blue-Footed Booby. The Blue-Footed Booby can be found in all of Macdonvland's forests, but makes its primary home in the National Forest. The country boasts two spectacular beaches. The larger Molly Beach is on the south coast of Columbe province. The smaller, yet equally stunning, Norris Beach is located at the southern cove, straddling the Columbe and Newenham border. Mann is connected to the mainland by an underwater tunnel. The Greater Elizabeth River meanders from the northeastern corner of Maxwell down to the west coast of Columbe. The National Capital is (the not very originally-named) National City.

Climate

Macdonvland has three distinct seasons. In the Spring and Autumn, the temperatures range from a low of 2 or 3 degrees Celcius to a high of 16 degrees Celcius. Summer temperatures are a constant 29 degrees, with virtually no humidity. Year-round, it rains only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then only in the pre-dawn hours. There are occasionally thundershowers, but they last just 15-20 minutes. Because of Macdonvland's many forests, Autumn is a kaleidoscope of colours when the leaves change. The tree branches do not remain bare for long, just 7-10 days, and then the Spring buds burst forth.

Economy

The large private sector is led by Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-Door Insurance Sales.
