The Union State sits at the southern end of the [[Vandarch]] and | The Union State sits at the southern end of the [[Vandarch]]. The country mostly sits in a depression between the western highlands of [[Fiannria]] to the north and the eastern highlands of [[Yonderre]] to the west. A number of rivers run through the country towards the Vandarch, some of which include the course of the [[Carolina-Grand Canal]], which roughly bisects the country. The runoff from the Fiannan highlands forms the Melis River, which runs to the Vandarch; the Melis is the dividing line between the two republics, Hollona and Diorisia. Hollona is a narrow strip of land west of the Melis which stretches from the Vandarch coast to the border with [[Rhotia]], never being more than about a hundred miles wide. Diorisia, meanwhile, makes up a majority of the land area of the Union State, encompassing a knob-shaped region comprising all of the land east of the Melis River to the Rhotian border. Most of the country's climate is considered to be {{wp|Humid continental climate|humid continental}}, with the bowl-shaped topography creating generally damp and warm conditions throughout the country. | ||
