Lariana occupies the eastern portion of the island of [[Urlazio]], comprising about a quarter to a third of the island. Definitionally, it meets the parameters of a peninsula, being surrounded to the west by [[Caphiria]] by land and the [[Odoneru Ocean]], [[Sea of Urlazio]], and [[Sea of Canete]] to the north, south, and east respectively. Talionia is located at the {{wp|Equator}}, though most of the country is located north of it. Due to this position, all but the northern and eastern coastal plain of the country is equatorial in climate. Like the rest of Urlazio, the interior of Lariana is or was dense jungle. | Lariana occupies the eastern portion of the island of [[Urlazio]], comprising about a quarter to a third of the island.

There are two major distinguishing geographical features within Lariana. The Talion River, which flows north to south, forms the Kingdom's western border. The interior of the country is divided in two by the Setthian Shield, a jagged mountain range that rises sharply and mirrors the eastern coast of the country, running in a line approximately due southwest. The Setthian Shield divides the primarily jungle interior of the country from the more densely populated coastal plain. | There are two major distinguishing geographical features within Lariana. The Talion River, which flows north to south, forms the Kingdom's western border with one exception, the Ecinis Peninsula. The peninsula sits east of the mouth of the Talion and was ceded to [[Caphiria]] in the [[Assumption Accords]]; accordingly, Lariana has a small southern land border running along a line of latitude rather than a natural feature. The interior of the country is divided in two by the Setthian Shield, a jagged mountain range that rises sharply and mirrors the eastern coast of the country, running in a line approximately due southwest.
