The Republic of Saidercray is a democratic republic in the International Democratic Union.

Geografy

Landscape

Saidercray, stretching between the coast in the south and the southern Grassle Mountains in the north, is a hilly land. Its flown through by three major rivers, the Cuve splitting into Northern and Southern Cuve after it has entered the country, the Pleens flowing into the Northern Cuve short before its mouth, and the Hampet River in the east of the country. Furthermore, Saidercray contains =numerous lakes. The four biggest lakes are Lake Shiwood near the west coast, the huge Lake Owlerborough in the centre, Lake Saryon in the south as the biggest lake of the Saryonan Lakeland, and Lake Welfrio near to the eastern border. The coastline is broken through by the Green Bay in the west and the Saidercray Gulf in the east. Saidercray´s major cities are (from the west to the east): Hilngare, Cuvesbridge, Dropaney, Jallsborough, Amshlay upon Cuve, Dawsingham, Wheshpilston, Telychester, Aresgreel, Hampmouth on Sea.

Climate

Saidercray lies in the temperate zone with average temperatures of 7°C. The climate is generally humide. The wind which usually comes from west brings with it a lot of water from the sea which results into a lot of rain, especially close to the western slopes of Grassel Mountains and of their foothills. The warmest region with the lowest rainfall is the Great Central Basin. In general, western Saidercray is fresher and wetter than central and eastern Saidercray, where summers tend to be hot and in some areas even sultry. But in winter, the western lands are almost never covered with snow, which may happen in the rest of the country except for the Basin.

Geographical regions

• The Great Central Basin: The Great Central Basin, often simply called the Great Central, is a region in central Saidercray, approximately between the cities Jallsborough, Amshlay, Dawsingham and Wheshpilston. It´s the warmest and driest region of Saidercray, because most of the cool winds with water from the sea don´t make it over the Pattachoo Mountains in the west of the Great Central. The Great Central is a realtively low populated part of Saidercray with no big cities. Most of the inhabitants are farmers or have other jobs belonging to the Great Central´s strongest sector of the economy: agriculture, especially focussed on corn.

National symbols

Flag

The flag of Saidercray shows a black and a broader blue beam on white ground. The beams don´t touch each other, but they are connected by a yellow star. The beams symbolize the two countries which have once been seperated, but have united and founded Saidercray, which is represented by the star. The large white area represents peace and the national animal, the stork. In earlier days, the white area included a black silhouette of a stork, but in 1967, the silhouette was deleted. The lands of Saidercray use the national flag together with their blazons on the white ground.

The flag has two nicknames, "White Black Blue" and "White Stork on White Ground".

Anthem

The national anthem "Loving you, our good mother Saidercray" was composed in 1911 by John Jelkind:

Loving you, we see the eternal day

Which is full of honour, light and peace

Loving you, we see the eternal day

Hate has died, and joy and luck increase

We are children of your shapely shores

And your fruits have made us grow

In the very centre of our cores

Takes its rise a solemn vow

Loving you, our good mother Saidercray

We shall be your peace for all our days

Loving you, our good mother Saidercray

We shall be your noble spirit´s grace

Motto

Saidercray´s motto "Cum pace et prudentia" is Latin and means "With peace and prudence".
