The fastest growing region in the country is the Cape and Callan area which was historically border swamp lands of Urcea proper, though due to developments in agricultural technology these previously difficult areas have increased their share of agriculture, making them largely the new agricultural heart of the country beginning in the mid-20th century. The eastern highlands have shifted to a largely urbanized economy based on large deposits of recently discovered shale oil and natural gas beneath the ground, creating a large hydrofracking sector in the area. The Bay of Cana, which embraces the provinces of [[the Cape (Urcean province)|the Cape]] and [[Callan]] as well as the [[Canaery|Electorate of Canaery]] has also yielded large offshore oil deposits discovered at the end of the 20th century. | The fastest growing region in the country is the Cape and Callan area which was historically border swamp lands of Urcea proper, though due to developments in agricultural technology these previously difficult areas have increased their share of agriculture, making them largely the new agricultural heart of the country beginning in the mid-20th century.

The Ionian mountains generally serve to denote the delineation between Urcea proper and the rest of Levantia, while the delineation between "north" and "south" Urcea is arbitrary and depends on the context. The most widely accepted dividing line between "north" and "south" is a line running approximately southwest from the [[Magnag]] to the Sea of Canete. Urcea is largely considered to be divided into eight cultural and geographical regions, ranging from north to south, some of which are coterminous with their governing subdivision: [[Carolina]], [[Ænglasmarch]], [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]], [[ | The Ionian mountains generally serve to denote the delineation between Urcea proper and the rest of Levantia, while the delineation between "north" and "south" Urcea is arbitrary and depends on the context.
