The Orient is a subcontinent of Eurth, situated in eastern Europa. The area is focused on trade between continental countries and archipelago.

Geography
The Orient is a subcontinent in eastern Europa, home to several nations. It is bordered by the other subcontinent of Burania to the north, Amutia in the west, Azania to the southwest, and includes the most Northeastern islands of Marenesia.
