Copake sits at the northeastern corner of the [[Nysdra Sea]] in northern [[Crona]], and is one of the world's northernmost countries. The country is divided into a southern peninsular region which shoots out into the Nysdra Sea and curls to the southeast, and an inland region which extends in a hook shape from west to east. The peninsular region has a very low-lying coast, but the rest of the country is relatively uniformly flat in terms of topography. The nation's climate is primarily {{wp|subarctic}}, with only the peninsular lowlands experiencing warm temperatures during the peak of summer. Accordingly, the coastal lowlands are the primary population center of the country. Much of this region is deforested and has several major population centers relative to their latitude. The majority of the inland region is heavily forested with {{wp|tamarack}} and other comparable trees. | Copake sits at the northeastern corner of the [[Nysdra Sea]] in northern [[Crona]], and is one of the world's northernmost countries.

The climate in this region and ready availability of fish has allowed Copake to sustain a very large population relative to its latitude; it is comparably dense to [[Vithinja]] in some portions of the country. The majority of the inland region is heavily forested with {{wp|tamarack}} and other comparable trees. | ||

Copake culture is noted as being extremely oriented towards a sense of geography and place, especially with respect to the [[Nysdra Sea]]. With the introduction of [[Occidental]] style maps into the country, the term "Northeastern" (its position in the Nysdra Sea) has become a common adjective used to describe things related to Copake. Although the preferred adjective for cultural, national, and individual purposes remains "''Copaish''", "Northeastern" is used to describe some government and public institutions, such as the military. | Copake culture is noted as being extremely oriented towards a sense of geography and place, especially with respect to the [[Nysdra Sea]].

The Northeastern Army is envisioned to be comprised of 9,000 men organized into three brigades. The Northeastern Air Corps is intended to be comprised of 1,200 men primarily operating helicopters. The Copake government has reached an agreement to buy significant military surplus from [[Urcea]] to initially equip the military and is actively contracting with manufacturers in [[Urcea]] for replacement parts as well as upgrades. | ||
