Metrea borders the states of [[Ilfenóra]] to the north, [[Korlēdan]] to the east, and [[Argévia]] to the south, as well as the Pelagic Ocean to the east. The Coastal Cascade Range of mountains lines the Pelagic coast, and its western slopes have a {{wp|west coast marine climate}} that supports a lush {{wp|temperate rainforest}} ecosystem, the southernmost spur of the great Kiravian Steam Forests. The Metrean segment of the Steam Forests is the most biodiverse area of Great Kirav and is home to a large number of endemic species, including the Mount Ridelvar giant salamander and the Kiravian White Cypress, the Federacy's official national tree which appears in the state's flag.
