Geography
Naybra consist of total of fifteen islands, ranging in shape and size. These islands branch off from the southwest of the Hemitean continent Euryphaessa in a " ( " appearance. As an island nation, Naybra shares no land borders with any other Hemithean nation, though the the Strait of --- separates Naybra from unnamed territory. Naybra is bordered on the west coast by the vast Astraean Ocean, while the Zamarian Sea separates Naybra's east coast from the rest of the Euryphaessas. The land area of Naybra is approximately 1.3 million square kilometers, making it the ___ largest territory in Hemithea.
Despite the ecological diversity of the Isles, Naybra is can be categorized into three main natural regions: the Southern region, the Central cluster, and the Northern zone. The Southern region includes the two major Isles of Grenoble and Eurborne. Both areas are known for their abundance of natural resources and inhabiting organisms. On the Isle of Grenoble, the Johnson River and the Finney River split Grenoble into two halves. Both rivers originate from the Dormill Range, which resides in the island's south coast and is the most southern point of Naybra. Both Mount Ripley (5621 m) and Mount Vulcan (6278 m) make up a portion of the Dormill. The Isle of Eurborne is divided by the four major rivers, the Hollow River, the Bavarian River, the Kettle River, and the Concull River. Once again, all streams originate from the mountains, this time from the Brookmere Range. The largest mountain of the Western Isles, Mount Rickana (6432 m), resides. Mount Rickana is ranked the ___ largest in all of Hemithea.
The Central cluster includes three major islands and Naybra's only federal district. The largest of these islands is the Isle of Amiens. MORE TO COME
Environmental issues
Naybra is known throughout Hemithea as one of the purest places in the region. Major environmental issues focus more on the debates of fossil-fuel, hydro-power, and nuclear energy, logging and deforestation, maintenance of national parks and conservation areas, and dealings with air and water pollution. Many regional and federal agencies are involved. The most prominent is the Wilderness and Wildlife Preservation Agency (WWPA), an agency under the NAY Ministry of the Environment. Numerous laws concerning the protection of the Naybran environment, including the Rainforest Protection Act of and the Preservation of Endangered Species Act have also been passed by NAY Congress in efforts to maintain the landscape's natural beauty. Analysis believe that soon, focus will shift from preservation to regulation, including new laws on carbon-dioxide emissions, waste disposal, and noise pollution.
