Passitania is a state in the Massodeya Valley of the Federal States. Passitania borders Gnaerey and Michisaukee to the north, AR120-08 to the east, New Carnaby and AR120-37 to the south, and Wauseka to the west. The topography of Passitania is dominated in the east by the Wallatock mountains with narrow river valleys and gorges. The Molson River and Beveronto River are the two most dominant rivers in the state, converging in the capital of Madawan. In the west, the state is primarily flat meadows and timberland with occasional rolling hills.

Madawan is the capital and largest metropolitan area of Passitania while Catterick is the largest city.

Passitania is situated in the heart of the Massodeya Valley between the Asphale Mountains in the east and the flat plains in the west. The state is bordered by the state of AR120-08 in the east, with the state border roughly following ridges and rivers. In the south, the state primarily borders AR120-37, however, a small border with New Carnaby exists entirely over Lake Washarniad. In the west, Passitania borders Wauseka with the border entirely made up of (Unnamed River). In the north, Passitania primarily borders the county of Gnaerey, and borders Michisaukee to the northeast with the Molson River making up a sizeable portion of the border.

Eastern Passitania is defined by large forested mountains and valleys, with lush deciduous and evergreen forests making up a majority of the land in the region. Mountains such as Anna Peak, Mount Molson, and Mount Storm rise well above 3,000 m (above 10,000 feet) in elevation and are full of underground minerals such as iron ore and coal. The headwaters of the major Molson River and (Unnamed River) are located within these towering mountains, with numerous rapids and waterfalls being located as these rivers wind down through the valleys.

In the southeast, the large alpine Lake Onawanda is fed by the Elyria and Sadawuska Rivers, surrounded by large evergreen forests and emptying out through the Onawanda River into the Molson River farther north. Similarly, Lake Carly flows north-northwest via the Beveronto River and is joined by the Haliburton River, Cascade River, and Green River before flowing into the north-center of Passitania and meeting the Molson River.

The Molson River flows westward through the lush Rabana Valley. Plentiful rainfall and large underwater reservoirs create swaths of arable land, dominated by orchards in the higher elevations and leading to farms of corn, wheat, and soybeans in the western regions of the valley. Between the Midland Creek and Beveronto River joining the Molson River is the highest upstream point which ships can travel along the Molson River, allowing maritime trade deep into the heartland of Passitania.

In the far north, the region is dominated by rolling hills which continue throughout the center of Passitania, including the metropolitan areas of Willowbrook and Madawan. These hills persist along the northern reaches of Passitania, westward to near the (Unnamed River) on the Gnaerey border.

The southwest consists primarily of large, flat, arable plains, primarily used for corn, soybeans, and cattle grazing. The (Unnamed River) in the far west is joined by several tributaries, eventually flowing into the Alormen River.

Transportation

Highways

Major highways in Passitania are under the authority of the Passitania Department of Transportation (PassDOT). Nationwide motorways are under the authority of the Federal States Defense and Commerce Motorway Network and follow the rules of that department. Primary state highways are numbered 1-10, and secondary state highways are numbered 11-100. Tertiary state highways are numbered 101-999, with the last two numbers matching the two numbers on the state highway they connect to (State Route XYZ would connect to State Route YZ). Numbered highways are colloquially referred to as "Route X", "Highway X", or "State Road X", where X is the number of the highway. On maps, they are typically denoted as PS-X.

Madawan Colorways

In the city of Madawan, PassDOT created a series of toll roads reaching various parts of Stover County, Beveronto County, and Union County. These toll roads are intended to alleviate traffic in and around the Madawan metropolitan area, and all tolls are open-road with the Mass-Pass.

List of Passitania State Highways

Passitania State Highways operate from numbers 000-999. Highways 1-10 are the most major of these highways, and typically traverse large distances or important corridors within the state. Highways 11-100 are considered secondary state highways, and traverse less important corridors or serve as arteries throughout towns. Highways 101-999 are considered tertiary highways, and traverse within city centers or minor corridors. An exception to this rule is PS-15, the historic parkway throughout Angela County, Stover County, and Beveronto County. Route numbers in Passitania tend to keep the same alignment as neighboring states (e.g., State Route 9 in Gnaerey is the same road as State Route 9 in Passitania).

Symbols

Flag of Passitania

Flag

Passitania's flag has two blue triangles, representing the two important rivers in the state: the Molson River in the center and the (Unnamed River) in the west. The two white triangles of the flag represent the land split down the center by the Molson and Beveronto Rivers, with the flat plains in the west differing greatly from the hills and mountains in the east. Centered in the top of the flag is a red star, representing the state as part of the Federal States. The five yellow diamonds represent the five large population centers of Passitania unified into one state, those being Catterick, Spotswood, Madawan, Willowbrook, and Onawanda.
