===Location and borders===

Yonderre covers 1,261,724 km2 (487,154 sq mi) and is situated immediately on the historic border between [[Ultmar]] and [[Catholic Levantia]], because of which it has enjoyed a status as a mercantile crossroads between the two since at least the Bronze Age. The western border of Yonderre shared with [[Eldmora]] runs along the [[Donne River]], while the eastern border with [[Anglei]] is made up of the [[Avonne River|river Avonne]]. Yonderre shares a border southwardly with [[Carna]] across the [[Gebirre ~~mountains~~]]. The [[Yonderian Kestrel Isles]] constitute a Grand Barony directly under the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] and are situated immediately north of mainland Yonderre as part of the [[Kestrel Isles]].

The [[Yonderian Kestrel Isles]] constitute a Grand Barony directly under the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] and are situated immediately north of mainland Yonderre as part of the [[Kestrel Isles]].

The northernmost point of mainland Yonderre is the Pointe-du-Noque on the [[Vandarch]] coast, while the northernmost city is [[Famichez]] in [[Vandarcôte County]]. The southernmost point in Yonderre is Mont Carrie, a rocky outcrop on the border between [[Anglei]] and Yonderre, while the southernmost settlement is Adrienville, [[Montgebirre County]]. Yonderre's westernmost city is [[Tamagne]] of [[Kubagne County]] while the easternmost city is Ensing in [[Vandarcôte County]] bordering [[Hollona and Diorisia]].

===Geology, topography and hydrography===

The most prominent geologic-topographic feature in Yonderre, the [[Vollardic Mountains]], is mostly made up of granite and granitic-gneisses. The assemblage of its terranes is thought to have involved the closure of at least two major basins containing oceanic crust and marine sediments. This is reflected in the ophiolites, basalts, blueschists and eclogites that occur in-between terranes. Western Yonderre is dominated by gneiss and bunter sandstone. Excluding the [[Vollardic Mountains|Vollardic]] and [[Gebirre Mountains]], Yonderre is generally a country consiting of rolling hills and flat plains situated just around sea level.

Hydrographically, Yonderre lies at the end of the [[Vandarch]] sea where the salinity is at its lowest at 0.3%, thus being borderline-freshwater. The lack of salinity is due to the abundant freshwater runoff from the surrounding land (rivers, streams and alike). The water level is generally far more dependent on the regional wind situation than on tidal effects. Tides can reach 17 to 19 cm in the Gulf of [[Gabion]].
