With an area of roughly 43,669 square miles (113,102 square kilometers), the Republic of Oceana is centered around the Oceanid Archipelago including the major Islands of Panopea, Cynopea, the Oceana-Marpesium and a number of smaller Islands.

The Republic lies between the Northern Ocean, the Southern Sea and the Gulf of Veneta. It comes within 66 miles (106 kilometers) of the northwest coast of Neustria, from which it is seperated by the Oceanic Channel. To the Northeast of the Oceana-Marpesium, the republic comes within 70 miles (112 kilometers) of the tip of the Venetan Peninsula. Oceana (Harug) - Neustria 31mi

Area

The total area of the Republic of Oceana is approximately 43,669 square miles (113,102 square km) comprising the islands of Oceana Marpesium, Panopea, Cynopea and smaller Islands. The Oceana-Marpesium is the largest Island, at 30,675 square miles (79,447 sq km) accounting for just under three quarters of the total landmass of the country. Panopea at 8,122 square miles (21,035 sq km), is the second largest, accounting for about a fifth of the total landmass. Cynopea is much smaller covering only 3,171 square miles (8,212 sq km).

Physical Geography

The Physical geography of Oceana is varied but is largely mountainous. Oceana itself is mostly lowland terrain centred around the Clutha and Halciona river valleys in the west and east respectively, with the Oceana highlands to the south. The Geography of Marpesia is dominated by the Marpesian Highlands, which contain the tallest mountains and largest lakes in the republic. The Geography of Cynopea is almost entirely mountainous bar a the Cynopean Bowl, a large circular river valley. The Geography of Panopea includes several mountain ranges and numerous small lakes.

The overall geomorphology of the Republic was shaped by the combined forces of tectonics and climate change, in particular glaciation.

Coastline & Islands

Islands

In total, it is estimated that the Oceananid Archipelago is made up of over one hundred small islands, some being natural and some being man-made.

Islands of Oceana

The Islands of Oceana can be divided into three groupings. There are the 'Channel Islands', which sit in the Oceanid Channel between Oceana and Neustra. The second group are the 'Southern Isles' which are an Island chain along the southern coast of the Oceana-Marpesium. The third group is the Isle of Maud, which sits in the Cynopean Channel between the Oceana-Marpesium and Cynopea.

Islands of Marpesia

Marpesia is home to the largest island chain in the republic. Comparising nearly half the islands in the Archaepelago the 'Marpsesian Hebrides' are strung out along the Northern coast of the Oceana Marpesium and contain some of the largest independant Islands in the republic.

Islands of Cynopea

Cynopea has multiple islands along its northwest coast known as the 'Carregs' which are incredibly rocky. Off the south-eastern tip of Cynopea lies 'The Childe', a small but fertile Island which broke off relatively recently (within the past two millenia) from Cynopea in what is known by the natives as 'The Birth'.
