Known historically by residents of [[Catholic Levantia]] as the ''far north'', Northern Levantia is often considered as the northern part of [[Ultmar]], with the country of [[Fiannria]] forming a borderland between Ultmar and Latin-influenced Levantia. Typically, it consists of land generally covering Levantia north of the southern point of the [[Vandarch]], except those regions west of the sea, which are a large portion of [[Gothica]]. | Known historically by residents of [[Catholic Levantia]] as the ''far north'', Northern Levantia is often considered as the northern part of [[Ultmar]], with the country of [[Fiannria]] forming a borderland between Ultmar and Latin-influenced Levantia.

Consisting of the majority of southern Levantia west of the Vandarch's southern point, Gothica is named for the Gothic people who originate there.

While generally relegated to the northeast rather than the eastern seaboard of the continent, Eastern Levantia generally is used to refer to the Peninsula of [[Orenstia (Old country)|Orenstia]] and its immediate surrounds. In some regions, [[Burgundie]] is included in Eastern Levantia, but is more commonly included in Central Levantia in holistic works due to cultural reasons. | While generally relegated to the northeast rather than the eastern seaboard of the continent, Eastern Levantia generally is used to refer to the Peninsula of [[Orenstia (Old country)|Orenstia]] and its immediate surrounds.

Dominated by the [[Urce River|Urce River basin]] and [[The Valley (Urcea)|valley]], southern Levantia is primarily dominated by the country of [[Urcea]] and bounded by mountains which both insulate it from the remainder of the continent and help cut it off from overland travel from many directions. Along with Central Levantia, the South is often referred to as [[Catholic Levantia]]. | Dominated by the [[Urce River|Urce River basin]] and [[The Valley (Urcea)|valley]], southern Levantia is primarily dominated by the country of [[Urcea]] and bounded by mountains which both insulate it from the remainder of the continent and help cut it off from overland travel from many directions.

Levantia's climate runs the gamut from tropical equatorial jungle in the southern tip of Urcea to tundra and arctic climates in [[Caergwynn]] and other north Levantine nations. Northern Levantia is known for its infamous [[Kilikas Sea|Kilikas Storm Belt]], which encompasses northern Ultmar and [[Fiannria]] and is characterized by frequent and powerful temperate cyclones, thunderstorms, and blizzards that have historically made marine navigation extremely dangerous in the area. | Levantia's climate runs the gamut from tropical equatorial jungle in the southern tip of Urcea to tundra and arctic climates in [[Caergwynn]] and other north Levantine nations.

{{Further|Levantine hurricane}} | |||
A Levantine hurricane or tropical storm is a {{wpl|tropical cyclone}} that forms in the [[Levantine Ocean]], usually between the months of June and November. A hurricane differs from a {{wpl|cyclone}} or {{wpl|typhoon}} only on the basis of location. A hurricane is a storm that occurs in the [[Levantine Ocean]], a typhoon occurs in the [[Ocean of Cathay]], and a {{wpl|cyclone}} occurs in the [[Odoneru Ocean]]. | |||

Of the modern peoples of the continent, some of the most notable are the [[Urcean people]], descended from Latin migrants and Celtic peoples, the [[Faeskt]], a 'true' Gaelic people, the [[Fhainnin civilization|Fhainn]], a people descended from primarily pre-Sarpo-Levantine Fenni and Gaelic conquerors, the [[Derian identity|Derian]] and [[Bergendii]] peoples, and the [[Anglei|Anglish/Aenglish]], a Gothic people with some Romance stock primarily from [[Urcea]] and [[Yonderre]]. | Of the modern peoples of the continent, some of the most notable are the [[Urcean people]], descended from Latin migrants and Celtic peoples, the [[Faeskt]], a 'true' Gaelic people, the [[Fhainnin civilization|Fhainn]], a people descended from primarily pre-Sarpo-Levantine Fenni and Gaelic conquerors, the [[Derian identity|Derian]] and [[Bergendii]] peoples, and the [[Anglei|Anglish/Aenglish]], a Gothic people with some Romance stock primarily from [[Urcea]] and [[Yonderre]]. | ||
Of the smaller ethnic groups in Levantia, the Orenstians are by far the largest non-Occidental group, and are characterized by their unique language. Several other minorities, namely the [[Khunyer]], who migrated to modern [[Hendalarsk]] in the middle ages, are descended from Orenstian migrants and posses status as a recognized minority with official language status. Other minority groups include [[Gassavelian people|Gassavelians]], [[ | Of the smaller ethnic groups in Levantia, the Orenstians are by far the largest non-Occidental group, and are characterized by their unique language.

Levantia is the world's most prosperous continent. It is home to the [[Levantine Union]], the world's most powerful joint economy including [[Urcea]], which has the world's highest {{wp|gross domestic product}} as well as several other high-income developed nations. Most countries in Levantia - and especially in the southern portion of the continent - are considered highly developed, with strong tertiary and quaternary sectors and high standards of living. Levantine economic strength has been bolstered by continental and regional integration under [[Levantine Union]] trade agreements and the [[KATI]] free trade zone. | Levantia is the world's most prosperous continent.
