THE GEOGRAPHY OF UNIXPLORIA PROPER
The Kingdom of Unixploria exists as a liminal realm, an island veiled within the vast Multiverse, where myth and memory intertwine with geography. Though its precise coordinates remain elusive to the macronational world, whispers place it in the southern reaches of Småland, brushing against the fertile borders of Skåne, where forests, lakes, and ancient soil converge in quiet majesty.
To outsiders, Unixploria is a hidden treasure—an inaccessible domain that lives only in chronicles of lore, a place glimpsed in legends rather than maps. Yet to those who dwell within its narrative, it is profoundly real: a sovereign land whose myths are not fanciful inventions but living truths, as tangible as the mind's capacity to perceive them.
Here, the boundaries between imagination and reality dissolve, allowing Unixploria to thrive as both a spiritual homeland and a cultural sanctuary, a beacon of continuity in a world that often forgets the power of myth. Its location, therefore, is not merely cartographic but metaphysical, rooted in southern Sweden's landscapes while simultaneously transcending them, existing wherever belief and story grant it life.
Lakes and bogs are common in our kingdom. Among the fish species found in Unixplorian lakes are Perch, Northern Pike, Zander, Eel, Burbot, Common Bream, Roach, White Bream, Blue Bream, Common Rudd, Ruffe, Common Bleak, Vendace, and Wels Catfish.
Unixploria is a realm of striking contrasts and breathtaking landscapes, defined by its vast territories, natural wonders, and diverse ecological zones. From the bustling capital of Stronghaven to the untamed wilderness of the Northern Districts, the land offers both grandeur and tranquility in equal measure.
Stronghaven – The Beating Heart of Unixploria
Situated at the nation's core, Stronghaven serves as Unixploria's political and cultural nucleus. The city boasts an impressive skyline of towering citadels and historic architecture, reflecting its deep heritage. Cobblestone streets wind through markets brimming with artisans and traders, while expansive parks offer verdant retreats. Its central location makes it a hub for commerce, governance, and travel.
Lake Mecklen and Knight's Island – The Mystical Waters
To the southeast of Stronghaven lies Lake Mecklen, a shimmering freshwater expanse stretching across the landscape like a sapphire jewel. The lake is renowned for its deep waters, abundant aquatic life, and breathtaking beauty. Within its embrace lies Knight's Island, a forested isle steeped in legend. Ancient ruins hint at a bygone era of knights and scholars, with folklore suggesting secret passageways beneath their surface.
The Corelands – The Heartland of Unixploria
The Corelands form the very heart of Unixploria, a region that lies in perfect balance between the northern highlands and the southern coastal plains. Here, the land rises and falls in gentle rhythms, with fertile valleys nourished by rivers and rolling hills that seem to embody the spirit of harmony. The River Eldarûn, flowing steadily from north to south, is the lifeline of this central realm, while the Verdant Belt of forests and meadows offers both sustenance and sanctuary. From the Central Plateau, one may gaze across the provinces and understand why this land has always been regarded as the axis of the nation.
Solaris – The Sunlit Soul of Unixploria
Solaris is a region where myth, nature, and tradition converge in golden harmony. Revered for its ancient origins and celestial symbolism, Solaris is a land of radiant landscapes, artistic expression, and timeless rituals. From the shimmering shores of Lake Solara to the sacred halls of the Temple of Solarius, every corner of Solaris reflects the warmth and wisdom of its people. Whether you're drawn by its vibrant festivals, its storied past, or its serene beauty, Solaris invites you to bask in its glow and discover a world where the sun never truly sets.
New Solaris – The Beacon of Innovation
Northeast of Lake Mecklen lies New Solaris, a thriving metropolis recognized for its advancements in science and technology. Its grand observatory dominates the skyline, while bustling academic institutions and research centers make it a haven for scholars. The city is built on a harmonious balance between modern architecture and lush green spaces, ensuring sustainability and progress coexist.
Eldoria and Eldorandia – The Twin Provinces
Nestled among rolling hills and sprawling meadows, the twin provinces of Eldoria and Eldorandia embody Unixploria's rich cultural heritage. Eldoria, with its grand amphitheaters and majestic temples, is a center of music, art, and philosophy. Eldorandia exudes an old-world charm with its winding streets and historic castles, standing as a testament to the traditions that shaped Unixploria.
Northern Districts – A Tapestry of Time and Tradition
Dense forests and towering mountains define the Northern Districts in the far north. Evergreen trees stretch endlessly, forming deep woods where wildlife thrives. Rivers carve their way through rocky terrain, nourishing the land and sustaining the indigenous communities that live in harmony with nature. The air here is crisp and filled with the scent of pine, offering explorers solitude and adventure.
The Borderlands – A Geographical Threshold
The Borderlands lie just beneath the rugged expanse of the Northern Territories, forming a threshold between the untamed wilderness and the more settled heartlands of Unixploria. Its very name speaks of transition and guardianship, for this is a land where the harsh northern climate softens into fertile valleys and rolling hills, where dense coniferous forests gradually yield to open plains and cultivated fields. Rivers descending from the north carve through the province, nourishing its soil and sustaining agriculture and trade, while also serving as natural pathways that connect distant communities.
Southern Realms – The Agricultural Heartland
The Southern Realms are bathed in golden sunlight, their vast plains and fertile lands providing ample space for agriculture. Rolling fields of wheat, vineyards, and orchards blanket the region, ensuring the nation's food supply remains abundant. Towns and villages dot the countryside, each with its own unique charm and a strong connection to farming and craftsmanship.
Coastal Territories with Oxenmire's Bluff – Where Land Meets the Sea
The Coastal Territories, a breathtaking stretch of cliffs, beaches, and fishing villages, dominate the western edge of Unixploria. Oxenmire's Bluff, a towering promontory, is the most iconic landmark along the coast. Here, the roaring waves crash against jagged rocks, creating dramatic scenery that has inspired countless tales and legends. The Coastal Territories are home to seasoned sailors and merchants, whose livelihoods are intertwined with the ocean's bounty.
With its diverse landscapes, thriving cities, and historic sites, Unixploria is a land of discovery, tradition, and untamed beauty. Whether wandering through the bustling streets of Stronghaven, trekking through the Northern Districts, or gazing across the endless waters of Lake Mecklen, there is always something to marvel at in this extraordinary realm.
CLIMATE IN UNIXPLORIA PROPER
Unixploria has varied weather. The northern parts have a humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. The Southern Realms and the Coastal Region straddle two climatic zones: the Mediterranean and the semi-arid, with the latter mainly falling within the former.
Temperatures in the Northern Territories have risen in recent years, and the -3 °C isotherm is used. It can also be classified as an oceanic climate (Cfb).
Wildlife in Unixploria - Predators
Unixplorian woods are generally safe. But they come with a few large predators, some more dangerous than others. However, you'll probably never meet them simply because none of them wants you to. Unixploria's large predators tend to avoid humans like the plague.
There are around 1,450 Lynx, skilled night hunters feeding mainly on reindeer or deer, and approximately 650 wolverines, primarily scavengers. As anyone knows, the Lynx and the Wolverine have never hurt a human being in Unixploria.
Some 1000 Wolves are also spread across the country. Although the Wolf feeds on animals larger than itself, the last recorded wild wolf attack on humans occurred in 1921.
The Brown Bear has been known to attack—and even kill—humans in modern times. Although the Brown Bear is naturally shy, attacks are rare, so we suggest you read up on the subject to avoid an unwelcome encounter.
Should you be confronted by a Brown Bear, try distracting it by throwing something in front of it. If this doesn't help, stay on the ground and stay still. In short, make yourself small and unthreatening.
The golden eagle is a more high-flying predator, more prevalent in the country's northern parts. Depending on how you count, there are around 1,500 golden eagles in Unixploria.
The Lynx, Wolverine, Wolf, Brown Bear, and Golden Eagle are protected species. They may be hunted only when explicitly authorized by the Unixplorian Environmental Protection Agency.
