Altazias Central Valley
Altazia's Central Valley
- What it is: The most densely populated region in the world — the political, cultural, and economic heart of Altazia, contested by the "Big Three" powers.
The Central Valley is a vast, fertile plain that has been the beating heart of Altazian civilization since the Ikosian colonization.
Geography
Bordered by:
- North: The Great Northern Forest and northern hills
- Southwest: The Ishekatara Sea
- Northeast: The open ocean
Strategic Importance
Control of the Central Valley is considered the key to dominating the entire continent. Historically the core of the Old Alliance, it is now contested by the "Big Three": Eldemar, Sulamnon, and Falkrinea. Any state that secures the valley could potentially re-establish a continental empire.
Economy
The valley is the most densely populated region of the world, housing major academies (like the one in Cyoria), industrial centers, and the largest agricultural hubs. The continental rail network connects its cities at unprecedented speed.
