The country is the "New Veltorine Republic", signifying both the geographical position of the territory (in [[Crona]], distinct from old [[Veltorina]]) as well as a degree of continuity from the original Veltorine Republic. The territory underwent several name changes during the 2010s and 2020s. The first Veltorine state in Crona, [[Cetsencalia]], was a latinization of the name of [[Quetzenkel]], from whom it gained indepenence. After the capitulation of Cetsencalia during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], this name was considered to have negative connotations, and the territory was reorganized as the Urcean military rectory of the [[Veltorine Territories]]. Subsequent negotiations between Veltorine factions produced the name "New Veltorine Republic", primarily as a concession to the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]]. | The country is the "New Veltorine Republic", signifying both the geographical position of the territory (in [[Crona]], distinct from old [[Veltorina]]) as well as a degree of continuity from the original Veltorine Republic.

New Veltorina sits on a promontory to the northwest of [[Crona]], adjacent to the large [[Varshan]]i plain and [[Sea of Nysdra]]. The promontory, referred to as the Brudxaan Peninsula, extends approximately 500 miles into the ocean and serves as a primary dividing feature between the Sea of Nysdra and the [[Sea of St. John]]. To the northeast of the promontory sits a large coastal plain which serves as New Veltorina's population center, while to the southeast is the country's hinterland region, a plain sitting between the Varshani border mountains and the highlands to the north which backstop the northern plain. The entire country is considered to be in the {{wp|Oceanic climate}}. | New Veltorina sits on a promontory to the northwest of [[Crona]], adjacent to the large [[Varshan]]i plain and [[Sea of Nysdra]].
