The Royal Republic of Furnifold is a nation about 170,800 km2 in size and with a population of 16 million people. It lies on the continent of Yasteria on the planet Urth. Furnifold is located just south of the 15th north parallel and just east of the 20th east meridian. Its western border is the coastline, while its eastern border is Lake Amery. Its northern border lies on the 15th Parallel, and its southern border follows the Chonvor River. The capital city is McLendal, which is located almost in the heart of the nation, at the confluence of two major rivers of Furnifold, the Carrington River and the Ayx River.

Geography of Furnifold.

Climate of Furnifold

Furnifold is natively in a tropical region; however, it is also located in a system of southwest prevailing winds. Because of landmasses to the west of the country, winds have a tendency to be pushed eastward and continue up along the coast of the country. This has led to some interesting climate characteristics for the country. The only typically tropical portion of the country is in the southwest, where average annual temperature is 21 degrees Celsius and average rainfall per month ranges between 40 and 200 millimeters. Most of the rainfall occurs in the evening and at night because of the differences in temperatures of the land and sea. Due to the higher elevation area known as the Geon Hills, the leeward side of these hills is home to a small band of a tropical savanna climate before transitioning to an arid region known as the Womp Desert.

Due to this northeastward system of prevailing winds, precipitation is largely expelled in the southwest portion of the country; then evaporation off the coast is collected by these winds as they continue to move north, and it is deposited inland into the north. What results is a climate that is still hot, but does not receive as much rain as the area south of it. This area is known as the Branwell Plains, and it is the most agriculturally stable area of the country.

There are two more unusual characteristics that Furnifold is known for. The first is the only known instance of a tropical rainforest being higher in latitude than its adjacent savanna. The Gwexhai Jungle, as it is known by the indigenous people, is located west of the Vase Mountains. Because of the amount of water that flows from the mountains to the Red Zillo River and Ayx River, as well as the rapid change in heat and air pressure as the water flows south, a higher-than-normal amount of evapotranspiration occurs in this area. The high amount of humidity and constant supply of water has fostered a small rainforest at the foot of the mountains, though it does not extend too far west into Furnifold.

Finally, there is a swamp system adjacent to Lake Amery. Known as the Daghoba Swamp, it is a sprawling system that is caused by the perennial overflowing of the Ayx River at a certain point. This, coupled with the proximity to the Lake, has over hundreds of years led to the land flooded and not drained as effectively.
