===Topography===
Urceopolis is bisected by the Esquiline River which flows east-to-west, making the city have northern and southern halves. For much of its history, "Urceopolis" referred exclusively to the land north of the Esquiline
The terrain in and around the city is largely flat with exceptions along its peripheries. Along the Esquiline, the [[#Old City|Old City]] and [[#New City|New City]] both rest upon hills: the Urban and Caeline hills, respectively. Early in its history, both of these hills would have had dominating views over the valley between it as well as the whole Esquiline region, but gradual flattening of the hills and accretion of land has decreased the prominence of both hills. Toward the northern boundary of the city sits the Borough of Elmont, which was named for its extremely hilly topography during the ancient period.
===Climate===
===Climate===
Urceopolis has a humid subtropical climate, with mild winters, hot humid summers, and significant rainfall all year long. Summer is the wettest season; almost half of the annual rainfall occurs from June to September in the form of thundershowers. Fall remains relatively warm through the middle of November. Winter is short and mild, and is characterized by occasional rain. Measurable snow has a median occurrence of only once per decade, and freezing rain is a much more common occruence.

==Government and politics==
==Government and politics==
The City of Urceopolis employs a model of governance in Urcea known as the [[Government_of_Urcea#Local_Government|executive polis]], which employs a chief executive who works in tandem with a local legislative body. Urceopolis was the only local government in Urcea to employ this system until the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], and it is sometimes informally called "Urceopolitan style" governance. Within the city, the Lord Prefect is the chief executive officer who is responsible for all of Urceopolis's government agencies while having oversight of the police department, fire department, medical corps, while having significant input into the administration of the city's transit system. The Lord Prefect is comparable in most respects to mayors of cities in other [[Occidental world|Occidental]] countries. The executive branch of Urceopolis's government includes an extensive set of agencies with broad reach over city policy and administration, such as public works, health conditions, sanitation, and other related municipal areas. The laws of the city are established by the Archcathedral Council, a proportionally-representative body many up of 121 Councilors. The Lord Prefect is elected at large in the city and the Council is elected from proportionally drawn districts every five years, mirroring the [[Concilium_Daoni#Elections_and_term|electoral calendar of the Concilium Daoni]]. Uniquely, the Lord Prefect is limited to two terms, while the Council has no term limits. In order to be eligible for either office, an individual must be a baptized [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] of at least thirty five years of age.
