The Míhanska coast is heavily indented with peninsulae and estuaries fed by the state's numerous rivers. Most of eastern Ventarya is part of the southeastern Aquaric Coastal Plain, with the terrain beginning to rise in the middle portion of the state into the foothills of the Aterandic Mountains. | ||
Temperate mixed forests are the dominant form of vegetation in Ventarya, though many parts of the southwest belong more properly to the South Kiravian Conifer Forests ecoregion dominated by {{wp|slash pine}} and {{wp|longleaf pine}}. With the contraction of the agricultural sector in recent decades, extensive reforestation has occured in the coastal and central portions of the state that were cleared for cultivation following Coscivian settlement. | Temperate mixed forests are the dominant form of vegetation in Ventarya, though many parts of the southwest belong more properly to the South Kiravian Conifer Forests ecoregion dominated by {{wp|slash pine}} and {{wp|longleaf pine}}.

Although [[Kiygrava]] was the first part of Great Kirav to be settled by Coscivians and [[Valēka]] was never rivalled as the island continent's economic core, the [[Míhanska Bay]] area (Ventarya and Hanoram) was the second part of the eastern seaboard where Coscivian colonies successfully took root.

The first Coscivian settlements in what would become Ventarya were founded at X, Y, and Z by small companies of self-funded men, mostly drawn from among the gentry and minor nobility of Vrytha and northern Kórsa, most of whom belonged to Vexin Coscivian clans and brought Vexin cultural traditions to their new lands. | ||
The cultivation of these crops was a lucrative industry, and the Míhanska colonies quickly overtook Kiygrava in wealth and population. However, the decentralised and agrarian course of both colonies' development kept their populations largely dependent on Valēka and Old Coscivia for | The cultivation of these crops was a lucrative industry, and the Míhanska colonies quickly overtook Kiygrava in wealth and population.

Almost two-thirds of the Ventaryan population is concentrated in its three largest metropolitan areas. The largest of these, the [[Kartika Metropolitan Area]], spills over from the [[District of Coïnvra]] into southern Hanoram and northern Ventarya. The Ventaryan portion of the metro area has undergone rapid economic and demographic growth over the past two decades as the governmental, defence, ærospace, and information technology sectors have boomed. | Almost two-thirds of the Ventaryan population is concentrated in its three largest metropolitan areas.

The {{wp|defence industry}} and the [[Kiravian Forces]] are major contributors to the Ventaryan economy. Many large defence contractors are headquartered or have offices located in the Ventaryan portion of the Kartika Metropolitan area. Leading Kiravian weapons manufacturer [[Tredagon Arms Foundry]] is based in the town of Tredagon on the Barrima River and operates facilities in Shafton Roads. The Shafton Roads area is home to Shafton Naval Harbour, the Kiravian Navy's largest base and main centre of operations in Great Kirav, as well as several smaller dockyards and other installations. There are twelve military reservations in Ventarya, including Fort Bódran (operational headquarters of the Kiravian Army Marine Corps), and Fort Rilvitren (home to the Kiravian Army Rangers). | The {{wp|defence industry}} and the [[Kiravian Forces]] are major contributors to the Ventaryan economy.
