São Ricardo is the northernmost Cartadanian state when taking into account all of its islands and {{wp|islet}}s as a single unit (although Cascália extends further north the main island). São Ricardo, being an archipelago like Porta Bianca, does not border any other Cartadanian state by land. The island of São Ricardo is the largest and most populous island of the archipelago, accounting for nearly sixty-five percent of the state's population. | ||
In addition to the five main islands, the state has many smaller islands and islets. These land features allowed the construction of the bridge and causeway systems between Cartadania's mainland (via [[Alexandria]]) and the Urlazian region (via [[Milan]]), two marvels of engineering that would other be impossible (whether physically or financially) without their presence. The Northern Fortuna Islands is a group of nine small, older islands to the northwest of Maceres that extend from Penremo to Mareserta Cay; these are remnants of once much larger volcanic mountains. Across the archipelago are around 130 small rocks and islets, such as Toniche, which are either volcanic, marine sedimentary or erosional in origin. | In addition to the five main islands, the state has many smaller islands and islets.
