Geography
Intravia was heavily glaciated during the last glacial maximum, endowing the state with some 14,000 lakes at least one hectare in area.

The climate of Intravia is humid continental, ranging from upper supratemperate in the far south to hemiboreal in its middle latitudes, transitioning to thermoboreal in the north and verging on mesoboreal in the extreme north and the higher elevations of some upland pockets in otherwise themoboreal areas.

Society and Culture
The territory of Intravia extends into both the North Coast and Mid-Continental cultural regions of Great Kirav, and the state's culture draws primarily from these two regional cultures and the contributions of various Coscivian ethnic groups that have settled in the state.

These waves of settlers were augmented by Antaric Coscivians, Northern Coscivians, Æran Coscivians, and Sēoran Coscivians during the Great Crossing, as well as Eshavian Coscivians, Meridian Finns, and Kiravian Celts.
