The Southern Preserve Activity Area encompasses all coastal areas of the Preserve, its territorial waters, as well as roughly the southernmost third of the country. It is the most habitable in terms of climate with portions of the area, especially the coast due to the [[Nysdra Sea]], having a {{wp|Hemiboreal|hemiboreal}} climate. Accordingly, it has the widest variety of flora and fauna and is the site of the most significant human habitation within the preserve. Significant research activity occurs within this Area and it is also the laxest in terms of restrictions on economic activity. Most human settlement within this area is within Aurora City, the primary population center of the preserve. | The Southern Preserve Activity Area encompasses all coastal areas of the Preserve, its territorial waters, as well as roughly the southernmost third of the country.

These areas, which preserve wildlife and fauna from other parts of the world, are extremely controversial among the scientific community due to their introduction of foreign species into an area. The three sites are believed by the League of Nations to be fulfilling its mandate of environmental preservation for future generations from war, famine, climate change, and other forms of destruction. | ||

The Geodesic Climate "City" is an expansive area about 20 miles from Aurora City which has forty freestanding geodesic domes for preservation of foreign flora, insect life, as well as small mammals and amphibians. The domes retain much of the sun's natural heat due to the way they are constructed and need only modest electric heat powered by a nuclear reactor constructed about ten miles from the dome city. Most of the forty domes are about 100 feet in diameter and they are maintained by the Ecological Studies Agency. Each dome is intended to preserve a specific region's flora and fauna, and accordingly the climate controls in each match conditions of the source of the creatures and plants. Strict policies preventing cross-contamination are in place. The dome city began construction in 2019 and was completed in 2024, with significant delays due to the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. One dome, which contains a carefully curated mix of bugs and small animals from across the world, is open to the public year round. The "zoo dome" has become famous for its variety of colorful butterflies, who thrive in the dome's conditions and are easily seen in large numbers. | |||
