==Geography==
==Geography==
Bulgenstaz is naturally hilly, with larger hills and mountainous regions toward the southern Agrillian Highlands. The flora of Bulgenstaz is tropical, and is considered among the most harsh in Eurth. For an outsider unfamiliar with navigating jungle terrain, it can take upwards of 30 minutes to move one mile. As such, roadways are both key to transportation, and scarce due to the difficulty of removing jungle growth.
Batengdei is naturally hilly, with larger hills and mountainous regions toward the southern Agrillian Highlands. The lowlands of Batengdei often see rivers flowing through them, and are often the location of major population centers. The southern Agrillian Highlands consist of vast arid and semi-arid climates due to low rainfall. Due to the relative inconsistency of water availability, much of the habited regions of Batengdei are clustered along rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
 
The northernmost peninsula of Bulgenstaz is a sprawling marsh. The region has few tall trees aside from daemotong, which produce a toxic, but powerful sap. While the marshlands have relatively low amounts of inhabitants, the surrounding region is rich with coastal settlements that thrive off the abundant natural resources of the Tonle Baitang region.


The northernmost peninsula of Bulgenstaz is a massive tropical called the Ickgo Swamp. The region has few tall trees aside from Ichigum Trees, which produce a toxic, but powerful natural adhesive. While there are very few formal settlements within the Ickgo Swamp, many towns exist on the fringes of the swamp for capturing Ichigum, which is a coveted commodity throughout Bulgenstaz, primarily for its use in strong rubbers and even certain biodegradable plastics.

===Okrugs===
===Khett===
Each Okrug acts as a regional governing body; there are seven in total in Bulgenstaz. Some have varying levels of sovereignty such as Kozakstal and Dnestov. These regions also have their own minor capital, which must be a city governed by the Okrug. All Okrugs have a small 50 member group of elected officials from any party.
Each Khett acts as a regional governing body; there are eight in total in Batengdei, and one federal city. Batengdeian Khett have varying levels of sovereignty such as Khsaandei and Tonle Baitang. These regions also have a local capital, which must be a city governed by the Okrug. All Okrugs have a small 50 member group of elected officials from any party.

The Nezavigorod are large cities within Bulgenstaz which act independently of regional authority of Okrugs. They may pass legislation within their Krasovet, which acts as an elected council of prominent Bulgen Rouge Party members. Currently, Nezavigorod may only elect officials from within the BRP, but this may possibly change in the future as Bulgenstaz opens itself to mulitpartisanship.

Within the coastal regions, much of the building style is akin to the Slavic building style of Dniester. This is due to the significant presence of Dniesterian colonial administration, which eventually led to a significant cultural shift.
