The geography of Aciria has been both a blessing and a curse for the Aciriens. Most of the Acirien lands are plains and flatlands, which has made Aciria an easy source of invasion from both foreign- and domestic powers. This has directly affected the turbulent history of the nation. The plentiful flatlands alongside the multiple rivers splitting the nation allowed the Aciriens to turn the landscape into vast fields to grow various crops in, and to this day Acirien heartlands are known for their vast and beautiful fields, which still feeds the nation. | |||
In the Griffe peninsula in the southwest of the nation and the southeastern Montagner regions are the only sections of the country with notable elevation from the rest of the country, shown by the Montagners who've managed to stay as a distinct language and ethnic group despite Acirien efforts to assimilate them into the masses. Various mines have been established in the Montagner region over the years, with various minerals, most notably chromium being discovered in the mountains there. | |||

The Acirien nation experiences mainly three kinds of climates; in the southwestern Griffe peninsula a marine climate can be experienced, making the summers warm and humid with cool and damp winters. Rainfall is common during both seasons, and during summer the temperatures can go up to 30°C, and during the winter it can reach as low as 15°C. The mean average temperature of the year is 11°C. Majority of the nation experiences a lessened maritime climate, resulting in hot summers and cold winters. In the mountainous Montagner region of the southeast a subarctic climate is experienced, making the region notably colder than rest of the nation. Summers are short and mild, while the winters are cold and snowfall is common. During summer fog is a common sight in the valleys when moisture coming from the ocean gets trapped between them. | |||
