Most of Gassavelia sits in a valley between the [[Hortus Mountains]] to the west and the highlands of western [[Burgundie]] to the east, with the Harzenon River bisecting the country at the lowest point in the valley. The Harzenon River, which is thought to have formed the valley by erosion, is the primary site of human settlement within the state, and the Harzenon River basin makes up a majority of the land area of Gassavelia. Topographically, much of Gassavelia is uneven, with steep declines from the interior country to the rivers which cross the state forming deep canyons in many places. Most of Gassavelia is far above sea level. The significant topographical differences poses a challenge for the typically car-centric lifestyle of most Urceans, and consequently Gassavelians use automobiles less hours per year on average than any other area of [[Urcea]].
