Mera Bay

Mera Bay, also known as the Quexten Bay (Canespan) is a body of water located between Caracua to the north and west and Canespa to the south and east. Caracua also borders the bay at its terminal point at the mouth of the Ashuk River through a corridor purchased from Caracua in 202X. The Ashuk and adjacent Kilmer River drainage basins in Caracua contribute the majority of groundwater flow into the bay. It is known for its fishing industry, which supports much of Maloka as well as Canespa's northern cities. The largest city on the bay is Extranjero, Canespa's third largest and the only city on the bay with a population of over a million permanent residents; the second is Kimiornee, capital of Caracua. During winter and spring, the majority of the bay is iced over; however, the mouth of the pay remains warm enough due to the adjacent currents of the Ocean of Cathay for navigation with the assistance of icebreakers in colder years.
