This new western section of Passamaqueets would include more significant topography in the south, with a few high points reaching over 1220ft above sea level and smaller hills spanning the entire region except for a thin coastal strip as well as the Fallport river valley (the river in the center of the terirtory).
The climate would be colder than Lower New England and current Passamaqueets, being Dfa and Dfb for the most part and Cfa in the Sound coast.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Economy
- Lower average income east of Fallport, with the suburbs to the west being more affluent and therefore more spread out;
- Most of the economy would revolve around services as a large part of the population commutes to other urban centers, with Burton being connected via passenger rail to the areas in the Southeast Corridor;
Demographics
- The largest city would be Fallport (1.4M) followed by Miaconda (600k), although this is considering only a part of the massive urban area that reaches Stanton and Burton;
- The Coastal flats would be heavily urbanized, with a mapping style similar to Rhode Island east of Fallport and Western Connecticut west of Fallport. The Fallport river valley (to be renamed) would also be fairly suburban, more closely related to the Springfield metropolitan area in Massachusetts;
- Most of the population would be Ortholic (Catholic) with a significant Egalitarian minority in the western less suburban areas;
- Native Archantans would be concentrated close to downtowns in large urban centers while the majority of the population is white;

| History & culture | |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
This western expansion would have been cannon, with the annexation taking place in 1708, only six years after merging with the colony of Saint Mary (western Passamaqueets), in an attempt to centralize power during a period of great instability in the region. Ingrea feared that the regional autonomy given to each small colony could result in internal conflicts and more interests being at play at the diplomatic level, making the control of the southeast looser while competing with Kalm and Valony.
