Faneria (Fhasen: ''Fhainnlannacharean'') is a centrally-run parliamentary republic situated in northern [[Levantia]]. Largely dominated by a [[Fhainnin Culture|Fhainnin]] Gaelic population in its more heavily populated southern regions along the [[Vandarch Sea]], the country includes [[Coscivian]] and [[Anglei|Aenglish]]-origin minorities for a total population of over 292 million. Its fifteen provinces and three overseas territories span roughly 1.9 million square miles bordering Kiravian [[Scapa]] to the northwest by sea, [[Prevalia]] to the west, [[Caergwynn]] to the north and east, and [[Fiannria]] to the east, as well as sharing maritime borders with several nations across the Vandarch.

The national language is [[Fhasen]].

For much of its early history, the Kingdom of the Fhainn was bound to the northern coast of the [[Vandarch Sea]], with the conquest of lands reaching the [[Kilikas Sea|Kilikas]] being a major turning point in the country's history and accelerating its expansion significantly. The Vandarch is incredibly culturally important to Faneria, and the northern Vandarch Basin forms what is colloquially termed the Ninerivers for its nine major waterways. The Ninerivers forms the geopolitical core of Faneria, with the most dense population centers, economic hubs, and infrastructure concentrated there and branching inland and out to the west coast. It varies from a somewhat cool to a temperate climate, with occasional harsh winters and heated summers. The eastern Ninerivers is the largest agrigultural region in Faneria, and the Ninerivers as a whole is a breadbasket for rye and barley crops as well as temperate crops. The Vandarch Sea itself is a major source of food and has a warming effect combined with southerly winds from Dericania.

Main Articles: [[Deamhainn Mountains]]
The center of Faneria's metropolitan area is dominated by several massive mountain ranges. Of these, the Deamhain and Croilaen Mountains divide Faneria's northwest and southwest, while Conn's Mountains and the Giath Mountains saddle the border between Faneria and Caergwynn in the east. The Deamhains and Croilaens have a number of gorges, passes, divides, lake valleys, and nooks which allow for seasonal passage through the mountains, though underground trains and plane travel have since overcome the physical limitations imposed on travel. The effect of these natural boundaries on social development between the north and south are crucial to Faneria's history, and divides the nation into largely geography-bound local subcultures.
 
In the east, the Giath and Hadraeon Mountains sit on either side of the Turlanns, a flat basin draining out through the Torr River into northern Fiannria. The Turlanns are much drier and cooler than coastal Fiannria or southern Faneria due to being shielded by numerous mountain ranges, and vary seasonally between frigid, sparse winters and cool, wet summers, with cool air travelling overland and bearing oceanic moisture. The area is prone to dry thunderstorms, and agriculture in the area is dominated by potatoes and other hardy vegetable crops.
 
==== Kilikas Coast ====
The northern coast of metropolitan Faneria consists of two major regions - the West Coast and the North Coast. The West Coast is a relatively highly developed region that continues to be of increasing significance nationally, whereas the North Coast is notably cooler, prone to being struck by [[Kilikas Storm Belt|storms]], and less populated as well as being physically separated from the South by large mountain ranges.

Formerly connected to metropolitan Faneria by land, the overseas province of Sorhaithe sits on the bitterly cold [[Nordska Sea]]. Sorhaithe is culturally distinct from both Faneria proper and the bordering nations, and consists of dense coastal isles and inlets which often freeze over in wintertime.
