Urcea and its various subnational units. The demographic and political center of the country is in the northern half of the country, particularly in the Urce River Valley, culminating with the political, cultural, and economic capital of the country, [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], though significant economic weight exists elsewhere, particularly on the coast of the Odoneru Ocean extending from the city of Beldra to the border with [[Faneria]]. This region is sometimes called the "Odoneru Megalopolis" and is, along with Urceopolis and [[Burgundie]], one of the primary ways in which imports via maritime trade enter [[Levantia]]. The modern industrial manufacturing heartland of Urcea has emerged in the Ionia-Novaterra-Glenfort region, referred to as the "Upper Urce Valley" as the old manufacturing center around Urceopolis and in the "Lower Valley" has switched to primarily to a service economy. | Urcea and its various subnational units.

The fastest growing region in the country is the Cape | 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 Ioni 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. | The Ioni 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.
