[[Lake Parima]] is one of the defining parts of Volonia. The Lake, which is divided between Volonia, [[Aciria]], and [[Caphiria]], has been a major conduit of transportation and commerce since antiquity. The Lake's freshwater has allowed for significant agricultural activity throughout Volonia, and it has been the source of irrigation for what is now Volonia for thousands of years.

Much of the landmass of Volonia is naturally desert, with large pockets of arable land along the rivers which stretch from north to south along the nation's borders as well as  along [[Lake Parima]], which has been responsible for irrigating significant parts of southern Volonia. Since independence, efforts have been made to transform Volonia's desert into viable land for development, and much of the nation's industrial base has been relocated into former tracts of desert. Volonia's southern coastal regions are wetter and cooler than the interior, but are still mostly warm year round. Winters are not meaningfully observed in the northern two-thirds of the country, but in the southern region temperatures can sometimes drop to around 50 F on very cool days, with the average being in the high 70s. The central mountain range of Volonia are mostly rocky elevations above the desert floor looking to the north while overlooking irrigated agircultural regions to the south.
