The Issyr River bisects the region with its southward flow, emptying into the Odoneru Ocean near Tolôn.
South Kirav has a humid, lower-mesotemperate climate with oceanic characteristics in the west and continental charateristics in the east. It is the warmest part of Great Kirav, with the mildest winters and longest growing season. It is the region of the country most vulnerable to Odoneru hurricanes.
Economy
South Kirav is the most agriculturally productive area of the Kiravian mainland, and has been the nation's breadbasket since ancient times. South Kirav offers excellent conditions for the cultivation of cereals, chiefly wheat, barley, and (increasingly) maize. Potato, an indispensible staple of the Kiravian diet, is also widely grown as a rotation crop and on more marginal land. Hops are grown mainly in the western part of the region. The Southern provinces lead the nation in their output of various vegetables, most notably cucumbers.
Five nuclear power plants are located in South Kirav, operating a combined total of fifteen reactors that together generate over 80 gigawatt-hours of electrical power annually.
