Federal Province of Suzzara
The Federal Province of Suzzara is a region of North-Eastern Tersten, largely known for being dominated by the Respublika Rovenya. It is divided into several distinct geographic regions, each with their own climate, dominant trading good, and culture. Overall, Suzzara is a temperate region that stretches from the polar north, to the warm waters of Jacob's Lake.
Further north of the Plains lies the uninhabited and undeveloped taiga of Kheta. Most of the Republic's industrial expansion has taken place in the Jacinto Plains, as such, it is one of the most developed regions on Tersten, ensuring Rovena's strong industrial powerbase. Rovena is the capital of the Respublika Rovenya, and is located on the north banks of Jacob's Lake. It is a small city, with just under a million people spread across urban and suburban development. Rovena is an important cultural capital of Tersten, being home to many theatres and sports venues. Rovena was founded a few years before the end of the penal system, growing to becoming a large city under the People's Republic of Lordania. Under the People's Republic, Rovena became home to a part of the Tersten Resistance, under the command of D. A. Kuznetsov, who would go on to serve a single term as President of the Republic of Tersten. Since then, the city has been active in promoting and showcasing Rovenskiy culture.
The Federal Province of Suzzara is governed in its entirety by the Respublika Rovenya. From their capital in Rovena, the Republic claims the Federal Province. From Suz to Krasnodar. However, like most other states claiming to govern an entire Province, it's often easier to give regions individual autonomy to handle their own affairs. This is the same here in Rovena, with the Crater Oblast and Krasnodar Oblast governing their respective regions.
Geographic Regions of Suzzara
Regions
Rovena
Rovena is the southern territories of Suzzara. It is here that the majority of the population lives, with large cities, good infrastructure, and strong cultural and economic ties that make up the Rovena Republic.Jacinto Plains
The Jacinto Plains are Suzzara's heartlands. They stretch around the North and West coast of Jacob's Lake and provides fertile ground for the cities of Rovena, and Jacinto. At the northern edge of the plains, around the city of Coldbranch, the land roughens out into the Beliéga Hills, a rough and jagged patch of land home to numerous mines and quarries.Beliéga Hills
Pistol Flats
The Pistol Flats is a geographic region that stretches from the edges of the Jacinto Plains and into parts of the Mandara Grassland within Mora. The Flats are a land of history, with ancient battlefields and a storied people. Its largest city is Barton. Mostly flat, the land aroud Barton is excellent for producing vast quantities of grains, which fuels the Barton Breweries and provides wealth to many of the local so-called Booze Barons.Krasnodar Vinyards
The Krasnodar Vinyards are a large region to the north-east of the Jacinto Plains. It stretches to include the entire south coast of the Limov Sea, and stretches as far as the Uzkai Mountains which make up the continental divide between Suzzara and Skardan. Much of the landscape is hilly, with wine-producing grapes grown along these vast slopes, with large parts of the land turned over to viticulture. The land is bounded in the south by the north-eastern edge of the Ferreas Mountains, which itself are the eastern edges of the Great North Tersten Range. Krasnodar is the largest city in Suzzara, giving its name to the Vinyards around it. It is considered the hub of North Tersten alcohol production. Rovani Wine is produced here, in the fertile alpine regions north of the city around the Samoyed Lake. The city was founded in 2241 by Slavic settlers, who had been given a charter by the Pinascimate authority to settle a city in the area. Named after a historic city on Earth, the city has since grown to become the largest in the region.Crater Bay
The Crater Bay is the name given to a former impact site in central Suzzara. Occuring around one hundred thousand years ago, the impact created a large crater rim, much of which has since been eroded away to give the region its noticeably circular cliffs and mountains. The sunken interior of the crater has filled with water, becoming known as the Crater Lakes. There are five lakes, each connected via underwater caves and channels, which is a popular tourist attraction. It has one outflowing river, the Implin River, which flows into Jacob's Lake, while the raised land within rises up to create patches of snakelike land and small islands. Crater Bay's largest export has historically been precious metals, mined from the surrounding region. This resulted in the construction of Fort Leviathan in the year 5PC, serving as a defensive garrison for the Pinascimate Penal Authority and the PPA Colonial Expanse. This led to the settlement of Hoser, Redknife, and Shore. Hoser is the largest city in the Crater Bay area, settled on the south-west shores of the largest of the crater lakes. It was settled by Pinasc settlers who accompanied the soldiers operating from Fort Leviathan. As such, modern Hoser has a close relationship with the nearby military base. Roughly twenty years ago, the minerals in the Crater Bay Area began to run out, and the region has since attempted to rebrand as a tourist destination. The historical Fort Leviathan is a premier tourist attraction for many visitors. The modern Leviathan Military Base serves as the headquarters of the Tersten Army in this region, and often hosts joint Tersten, Lordanian, and Sol divisions.One of many Crater Lakes
Five Rivers
The Five Rivers region is located in north-western Suzzara. It takes its name from the five tributary rivers that feed into the Vaan River around which the city of Suz has been settled. Suz is the capital of the Five Rivers region. It was settled in 22PC, and is considered culturally West Rovenskiy, alongside nations such as Kavastad and Arochok. Suz, like the Five Rivers region around it, has avoided large-scale industrial projects, being considered by most to be a large town rather than a city. The Vaan flows into the Saratoga Lake, where it then goes on to become the Suoluo River. It stretches to include several coastal areas on the North Tersten Ocean, but like many of the wilderness regions, it has remained mostly underdeveloped compared to Krasnodar and Rovena. The area is bounded by the Jacinto Plains to the south-east, and Saralost to the west. Its westernmost border is the eastern edges of the Grand Tersten Bayou and the Great North Desert.Uzkai
Uzkai is the underdeveloped northern frontiers of Suzzara. It takes its name from the Uzkai Mountains that divide the land between Suzzara and Skardan.Kheta
Kheta is the largely uninhabited region of north Suzzara. Few people live here, with only those living outside its harsh environment giving any care to naming or governing such a large stretch of nothingness. Polar deserts run along the coast of the North Tersten Ocean, a product of winds and current streams causing the area to hover around zero degrees at the best of times. Like with many inhospitable locations, the people that do choose to come here often do so in search of material goods. Oil, Metals, and all things precious can be found in abundance in these untouched wilds. A few government backed projects have ventured here, establishing several mining towns along waterways and near open flats. These towns are home to vibrant communities of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural Tersteners, from across the planet. Despite being established as mining communities, both the compassion of the Tersten people and the technologies of the 24th century have allowed this to be a safe and environmentally-friendly operation, or at least as close to neutral as a mining industry can be. Most of these towns are so well isolated that even though they have constant internet connection, they are still a good many hours away from the rest of civilization, and so are often considered largely autonomous from Rovena. The largest of these towns is New Juneau, named intentionally after the capital city of Alaska, Earth. New Juneau is the de-facto capital of Kheta. It is from here that all industrial transport out of the region is conducted. It is the seat of the small, local government that has established itself to administrate the mostly autonomous towns in the area, known as the Khetan Commune.Limov Sea
The Limov Sea is an inlet of the North Tersten Ocean, located in the northernmost regions of Suzzara. It is surrounded by Krasnodar Vinyards to the south, Skardan to the East, and the North Tersten Ocean to the north. The Yankova Peninsula sits between the ocean and the sea. Yankova is largely covered in taiga woodlands, and very undeveloped. It has only one road connection between Dikyanov and the rest of civilization. As such, the city is typically only accessible by air or sea. Much of the city's industry is focused around aquaculture and fishing.Uzkai Mountains
The Uzkai Mountains are perhaps the most inhospitable region of Suzzara, with only one major city, Katrisha. It is barely inhabited, with a greater population of bears than humans. It has one notable landmark, Uzkai'katal, an ancient Sar'ket ruin that was originally thought to be just a mountain. No expeditions have ever visited Uzkai'katal, but several are planned for the summer of 76 PC.Politics
