Lucrecia is a small sub-archipelago within the [[Catenias]] consisting of three islands, two major islands and one small island. The major island that is closer to mainland Vallos is often known in [[Ænglish]] and throughout [[Levantia]] as [[Emerita]], although officially, and throughout Sarpedon, it is known as ''Isla Lucrecia'' from which the nation gets its name from. The other major island is known as [[Illa Herba Linda]], often known in older maps as ''Isla Yorba Linda'' (''yorba'' being the Emeritan pronunciation of the word ''yerba'', itself a Vallos variant of the Pelaxian word ''hierba'', meaning herb). The small island off the coast of Illa Herba Linda is referred to as [[Illa Vitoria]]. | |||
Altogether, the three islands covers just over 181,998 km² of land, with Illa Herba Linda being the largest of the three and Illa Vitoria being the smallest. As a nation that solely consists of islands, much of Lucrecia's geography is predominately just above sea level, with Illa Herba Linda being the sole exception being home to the nation's sole mountain and highest point, [[Mount St. Andrew's]]. | |||
The country consists of three major islands and several dozen smaller islands and rocky promontories. | The country consists of three major islands and several dozen smaller islands and rocky promontories. | ||

Located within the tropics, the climate in Lucrecia is generally warmer and more humid than in most areas outside of the tropics. However, due to it being very close to the {{wp|Tropic of Capricorn}}, the climate is generally more temperate compared to the climates of areas further within the tropics such as that of [[Rumahoki]] or [[Equatorial Ostiecia]]. Overall, Lucrecia experiences a mostly mild {{wp|seasonal variation}}, though the coldest parts of the country are in settlements that straddle Mount St. Andrew's, much of which experience colder winters and milder summers compared to the rest of Lucrecia, with summer averages that reach no more than 18 degrees Celsius and winter averages as low than -12 degrees Celsius in contrast to the averages for the rest of the country (summer averages in most of Lucrecia are often as high as 25 degrees Celsius while winter averages can go as low as 10 degrees Celsius). | |||
