==Geography==

Arkvera borders [[~~Kiygrava~~]] to the east, [[Kastera]] to the west, [[Kiorgia]] and Veskembria to the south, and the Íravokan Sea (a marginal sea of the [[Coscivian Sea]]) to the north. Aside from the the northern fringe of the state, which forms part of the Coscivian Coastal Plain, most of Arkvera lies in the Eastern Highlands.The Glaslév Mountains (Gaelic: ''Sléibhe Glasa'') and Holy Queen’s Mountains traverse the state, and its terrain is dominated by the foothills, valleys, and plateaux surrounding these two ranges. Arkvera has a {{wp|hemiboreal}} climate and is heavily forested, primarily with various species of pine, spruce, and fir, but also with deciduous trees such as maple, hazel, beech, ash, oak, and hornbeam, especially at lower altitudes.

The Ispeln Gap, a comparatively flat {{wp|intermontane plateau}} located near the centre of the state, is home to the state’s largest city, Ivotren, and its capital, Xarxanden.

==Economy==

Although much less developed than neighbouring Kastera and ~~Kiygrava~~, Arkvera has made much progress since the end of Kirosocialism, graduating to the status of an ‘upper-middle income state’ (Kiravix: ''hévdipārnax ārka''). While it still lags behind the other Eastern and Northern coastal states, it has attained a standard of living and degree of economic diversification surpassing the Highland and inland states.

While it still lags behind the other Eastern and Northern coastal states, it has attained a standard of living and degree of economic diversification surpassing the Highland and inland states.

Mineral extraction has long been the state’s most important industry, owing to its significant deposits of coal, bauxite, chromite, zinc, lead, [etc.], and more recently natural gas. Arkvera is still in the process of recovering from the resource curse and Kirosocialist freight-equalisation policies that have hindered its economic growth, and the state and federal governments have implemented a number of programmes to repair the damage done to the Arkveran environment by centuries of intensive mining.
