The Southern Belt is characterized by three main climatic and topographic areas.

2jnrsPxfHmOaw-ribebjR8aaOVX833LK972kDXLS-EsLVr30NlxLzIkG3jZhjThL6kG-_jpI5Kh1xZIKdBlIMe8RbrDDrx81Y9JgESqwqVhahrNAFbMSz1jicDZKxtfeDna5vN-ciLUENsd2R8Dv06w

The Southern Belt’s northernmost areas are characterized by semi arid mountains and highlands. These wind and rain eroded areas don’t retain much water, but trap moisture from the tropical easterlies, which contributes to the climate areas further south of it. Small birds and mammals inhabit the area.


WBywLSUPRbfzoyrMNuk601AM848cwAusdmLYCdi_mlVuMt4IsSrSdKCUjRZOy19yG1HssHGA-E0l1Sgd6YjIfuJxNhG8IIvjXEwLm6kQctBla0Sg98wq8tYUqM5gRG5AvJmuqZhjQz65u5L7TXY0mSo

The central area of the Southern Belt, or La Boucle,  is characterized by subtropical grasslands, with rich soil and persistent rainfall throughout the year. Areas with this kind of climate are also high in altitude, leading to the presence of some migratory birds from similar altitude ranges appearing from nearby regions.


Lbl_wBGb4cAO_yayGKEq9AN5HQmVR6Yf4UDmhB68Gap1rO6-gJhmLvoEXoH9bwBfsFJTXK8ai1S5BV56goidqf8rrdPM70kzLp5IsLGAGBNLOMfiDxDLwM5W0hKzxpvKJeRWNeL5IADR_AXunnuoHjI

The southernmost areas of the Southern Belt are characterized by very dense forests, with lots of rain and moisture coming from easterly winds, and tributary rivers feeding the area. Much of this space has dense urban development, but some areas like the Olivier National Preserve pictured here, retain some of the old vegetation and wildlife.

L’Immensité is just as its name suggests. The heart of the country is characterized by a large area with the same mostly arid desert. Few plants, animals, or people call this place home because of its poor soil and even poorer rainfall retention. It is however known for its large natural salt deposits.

The Northern Tier is characterized by two main climatic and topographic areas.

Terre de Braconnier is an area of highland and lowland  with limited shrub growth and wildlife, as the great mountain ranges nearby retain some water. A few people and animals call this place home, mostly because of its seclusion.

Le Bonneterre encompasses the northernmost areas of the country. It’s characterized by a mix of well watered broad-leaf and coniferous highlands and lowlands.

The structure of federal government is based on The Constitution of the Commonwealth, written and ratified in 1105. It is a government with three distinctive and differently empowered sections. This includes La Bureau du Président as the executive section, Le Grande Assemblée des États Continentaux (simply referred to as Le Grande Assemblée) as the legislative section, and La Tribunal Suprême as the judicial section.


Le Bureau du Président is the chief executive body of government, and holds the head of state, the President. Besides being the representative government figure for the country to the world, the President also has a wide range of executive powers. The President: proposes the national budget. They nominate supreme judges, and departmental judges, consulates, special officers, armed forces leaders, and the prime minister. They also approve nominated ministers, bills, and laws. Lastly, they are the supreme commander of the armed forces during wartime. The President can do a number of different special procedures, like initiating a military intervention, but this requires a vote by Le Grande Assemblee.


Le Grande Assemblée is a bicameral legislative body which holds the majority of law, treaty, taxation, warfighting, trading, and regulation authority in the nation. The first part, the Lower Assembly, is composed of many burgesses, with one representative for every 100,000 citizens, apportioned based on electoral districts proportionally spread throughout the nation. To date, 100 burgesses perform duties in the Lower Assembly. The second part, the Upper Assembly, is composed of two councilors for every state in the commonwealth. Currently 60 councilors perform duties in the Upper Assembly, with 36 of the councilors being representatives of island states in the nation. Bills, laws, and budgets must originate in the Lower Assembly, then pass through voting to the Upper Assembly, receive the necessary votes, then finally be forwarded to the Bureau du Président for signing.


Le Grande Assemblée also holds the Office of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is nominated by the President, and must be confirmed by the Upper Assembly by majority vote. Their main role is as the head of government. They facilitate discussion, votes, and committee assignments. They also control the Office of the Baculus, which is the main law enforcement body within Le Grande Assemblée, offering protection to the premises and the people inside. The Prime Minister can sometimes be assigned to head special projects, and carry the full weight and authority of the Presidency if such power is dispensed by the President.

La Tribunal Suprême is a system of three courts. Regnum Court, which oversees federal criminal cases and initial appeals for regnus, or regions. A departmental court, which oversees appeals from different conjoined sections of regnus. And a supreme court, which oversees appeals which reach it from a departmental court, or from a state supreme court.

The nation has a number of political structures, tied together by tiers of increasing authority. These chains of authority are Local, Regional, and Federal. Here is a diagram to show these structures:

The nation has a diverse array of local businesses and industries because of many factors. The country's fertile heartland, dense monsoon forests, and southern swampy coast allow for a many different types of agriculture, from grains and citrus, to high altitude natural stimulants and swamp-loving crops like peas and rice. The nation's connection to the ocean allows for trade and fishing, while the mountainous terrain and mineral rich desert allow for robust mining and local heavy industry. The local service sector underpins all of these efforts, through financing, maintenance, specialty trades, power, and consumer production.

The 10 largest sections of the nation's agricultural sector include:
