Political Map of Orandia

[Orandia]

Orandia's regional borders tend to be defined by environmental features such as rivers and mountain ranges. Warm-colored regions are mainly mountainous, yellow and green regions are dominated by forests, and purple and blue regions lie among Orandia's prosperous coastline. While each region has a unique name, the regional capitals are all anagrams of the name Orandia!

Some fun bits about the regions and their capitals:

-Haute-Claire, meaning "high-clear" in French, refers to the many tall mountains in the region–the tallest in all of Orandia. Haute-Claire contains both the highest elevation and the highest-elevation city in the nation, the latter being the regional capital of Nordiaa. 

-Knapp is the heart of Orandia's agriculture industry. Farms and fertile riverbanks dot the relatively flat countryside here, and forested areas are still being cleared to make room for more farms.

-Naiador, the regional capital of Pala, sits beside a large lake. The local climate is so foggy that the city has gained a reputation for being mysterious. 

-The twin cities of Dianaro and Narodia are situated on twin peninsulas, connected by two of the nation's longest bridges. They are also the regional capitals of Cople and Istul, respectively.

-Montrose is named for a species of pink wildflower that grows abundantly on mountainsides in the region, making them seem dotted with pink.

-Dainroa, a sizable port city, is the nation's largest exporter of fish.

-The forest, mountains, and coast all meet on the peninsula the Aidnaro region inhabits. Much like New York, New York, the region and its capital share a name.
