Altavia is a member of the Vinnic Economic Community, and its neighbors are Bloregia and Eäßnordælånd to the north, Ulerolånd to the east, and Sigalia to the south. Out of its 0.7 million people, almost half live in Altavkjø while another quarter live in Gaffelsbyen and Astjerne, with the remaining 235,000 people living in small towns or rural areas. The country is sparse because of its far northern latitude.

Topographic Map
Altavia's terrain is composed of mostly highlands in the center of the country and fjords near the coast with two mountain ranges in Frijorns Fylke and Ezelven Fylke. Outside of the coast and Ezelven Fylke, the country is very sparsely populated and made up mostly of farmland along the rivers and vast undisturbed boreal forests. The climate of Altavia is entirely subpolar and as such Altavia experiences cool summers and cold winters.
