Etymology
Sudria is the name of a legendary Bear warrior/philosopher who kept the Island safe during the dark ages. It is from this figure that the Island takes her name.
The standard way to refer to a citizen of Nova Sodor is as a "Nova Sodorian."
History
Fifteen hundred years ago the Island that became Sodor was peopled by nomadic and warlike tribes. Competition for land and resources was fierce and the tribes were in danger of destroying their own civilization.
Geography
The total area of the (roughly diamond shaped) NSR is approximately 243,610 square kilometres (94,060 sq mi). The country include Misty Isle and some smaller surrounding islands. It lies to the south west of the International Democratic Union
10% of the NSR is forested, 46% used for pastures and 25% cultivated for agriculture.
South West Quadrant
The South West coast is the both the most heavily populated and busiest. An extensive modernisation program instigated by Max Tylenor has seen glass and steel skyscrapers rising up from Tidmouth, Maron (home to the Island's airport), Knapford, Bredham, Wellsworth and Elsbridge.
