'' | ===Physichal Geography=== | ||
Zeshinava is defined by its bountiful rivers and the flood plains made in their wake. One such river is the River Vakar, which defines Zeshinava's western border with Chrobonsk. Meanwhile, the majority of Zeshinava's population, including that of its capital, sits at the mouth of the Istroya delta. The Dlyīmihnav branches into various different directions, and wraps around the Kianal mountains of the northwest to meet the population centers of the basin frontier. The Dlyīmihnav flows into the Bay of Sydona along the Īsiagal mountain range from the northern border to the south, splitting the country in two. This split creates a contrast between the floodplains of the west and the largely flat and dry expanse of the east. Though also fed by Pīyocia River from the drainage of the Īsiagal Mountains, the river feeds north into Flounders Bay, leaving the southeast unabated by divisive geographic features. Lastly, the outerlying islands of Zeshinava are mostly mountainous, with the only exceptions being the smaller few formed more recently by volcanism. | |||
Zeshinava is home to numerous volcanoes through its two major mountain ranges and outerlying islands. Magma hotspots coupled with seismic activity mark the lands existence at the confluence of tectonic plates. The geological activity however allows for extensive geothermal energy production, and would make Zeshinava and energy exporter if not for the activity extending into surrounding nations. Still, this, among other resource advantages, gives Zeshinava a strategic geographic position despite its lesser connection to larger economies. The aforementioned Dlyīmihnav River plays into this strategic position, as it is the only outflow of the large Istroyan Delta. The River regularly floods and brings sediment downstream, keeping the soil fresh and rich. Zeshinava thus possesses large farmland, created out of the expansive grasslands of the south before they transition into forests when travelling away from the major bodies of water. | |||
Zeshinava is largely made up of extended continental crust, as evidenced by its southern lowlands. In contrast, the north of the country is part of the Absurian Orogeny, thus resulting in its notable volcanic activity. The geologic activity has deposited various minerals throughout the orogeny, such as manganese, aluminum, gold, chromium, among other minerals found in igneous rock. | |||
