Alvinia (Cuthish: Alvinia; Hesurian: Alwinien; Sarracese: l'Alvïnie), also referred to as the Alvines and the Alvinian Archipelago, is a continent and geographical region that makes up almost all of the landmass of Aurorum's western hemisphere. With an area of X square kilometers (X sq mi) and a 2018 estimated population of 31.1 million inhabitants, Alvinia is the smallest and least populous of the continents of Aurorum.
Alvinia is surrounded to the west by the Iremic Ocean and to the east by the Agric Ocean, while island arcs delineate the interior Godrican and Alvinian Sea. The continent is subdivided into three major archipelagos: the centrally located Greater Alvines, the northeastern X Archipelago, and the western Lesser Alvines (which include the Windward and Leeward Islands); the Agric region of Snaeland may also be considered part of Berea due to its cultural distinction, but is geographically related to Alvinia. Alvinia encompasses three sovereign island countries: Algaria, Chelagey and Ochoccola; and two dependent territories: Mascyllary Akawhk and Nordic Snaeland.
The island chain extends 8,000 kilometers (4,971 miles) from northeast to southwest, and is geologically dominated by rugged and mountaineous, often times volcanically active islands in distinctive island arcs. However, some islands are of non-volcanic origin and particularly flat, such as X, and many islands feature coral reef formations and ancient lakes. The highest mountain is X in Ochoccola with an established height of 4,288 m (14,068 ft), while the the Alvinian Trench, situated in the Iremic Ocean, is the deepest oceanic trench with a maximum depth of 11,038 m (36,214 ft) at the Tartarus Deep. Almost all of Alvinia lies on the Agric and Alvinian Plates, which currently is in the process of forcing the Pamiran Plate, and to a lesser extent the Hährnig Plate, to subduct beneath the former, a process responsible for the creation of the Alvinian Arc as a quasi-mountain range running along the archipelago's length; meanwhile, some islands of the Lesser and Greater Alvines are situated on the smaller Alvinian Plate.
