History
Geography
Alstin City is situated on Alstin Island in the central United Republic, towards the western edge of the Altaic Sea. The location, centered at the mouth of the Emporia and Ryefield Rivers, which feeds into a naturally sheltered harbor and then into the Altaic, has helped the city grow in significance as a trading port.
The city's land has been altered substantially by human intervention, with considerable land reclamation along the waterfronts since the initial settlement.
