 | Physical geography |

| An overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country. It is advised to also create a sketch, you can add a link to this (hosted on imgur or similar) |
The area is low-lying and agricultural in character, inspired by the landscapes of East Anglia. It is largely flat in the east, the coastline being dominated by large areas of wetland and beaches, rising to the highest points of around 800ft/243m, in the west. A large minority (~20%) of the region is within a few metres of mean sea level, consisting of reclaimed land, drainage channels and managed marshlands. In the sketch attached, these areas of marshland are marked in blue.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
The region has a population of around 1 million, with a higher than average proportion of people aged 60+. There are many second homes and holiday lets in the area, often owned by people from the capital. Historically the economy was centred on fishing and agri-business with some manufacturing industry in the larger population centres. Tourism and renewable energy are also important, growing sectors of the economy.
The largest city is Talansby, with a population of around 200K which lies roughly 20 miles inland at the centre of the region. Along the coast are the smaller seaside towns Eappenwood and Kenrickstow that both attract tourists with their beaches and resorts. Heltonrepps, Wedrey and Aldehall are all located within the Cuttwaters National Park and benefit from boating and eco-tourism.
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
The region is divided into two historic counties by the Delliscoe River. The northern county is Nenninshire and its county seat is Heltonrepps. The southern county is Welric and its county seat is Talansby.
Before the Unifiction, Nenninshire and Welric formed a petty kingdom that maintained its independence for several centuries. Due to its remote location the eastern wetlands were home to a variety of monastic and early religious settlements. During the medieval period the coastal towns were important boat building centres. The local population, well used to maritime activities, provided many of the nations sailors during the age of sail. There are a variety of medieval castles and more modern sea defence fortifications dating from the 18th and 19th centuries in the area.
The history and culture of the region will be decided in line with the wider project but due to the isolated and rural nature of the landscape the region was unlikely to figure greatly in the wider events that defined the nation. There may be one or several air or naval facilities in the region.
