Housatonic is located in the far northeastern portion of [[Cusinaut]] and is comprised of a mainland area as well as a chain of small islands known as the Unnuaq Chain. The country sits astride the {{wp|polar circle}}, and accordingly its climate is very cold. Housatonic is divided into two government established regions known as the "Urban Geography" and the "Insular Geography", with the Urban Geography being all lands south of the Polar Circle and the Insular Geography sitting to the north of it. | |||
The Urban Geography comprises all pre-2030 territory of Housatonic and sits on mainland [[Cusinaut]] and sits on elevated land overlooking the [[Nysdra Sea]]. Prior to the establishment of unitary administration, 89% of the territory was part of the City of Housatonic itself, making the area relatively urbanized. Due to the climate, this urbanization is relatively limited in its population impact, but nonetheless the city itself is fairly spread out. Although elevated, the Urban Geography is largely flat, and beyond the urbanized portions is a small {{wp|taiga}} region. The Urban Geography is classified as {{wp|subarctic}} and sits on the commonly agreed upon border between that climate type and {{wp|tundra}}. | |||
The Insular Geography comprises the Unnuaq Chain, which prior to 2030 was an overseas territory of [[Urcea]]. The Chain is comprised of three islands which sit immediately to the north of the polar circle and Urban Geography. | |||
