Kouryssos, officially the Kingdom of Kouryssos (Kouryssan: Βασίλειο του Κουρυσού), is a sovereign island nation-state located within the Süd Depths.
A chain of mountains extends across the center of Kouryssos in an east-west direction. The highest point is Mount Eriopis, which rises 2,456 meters (8,058 feet) in central Kouryssos. Fertile valleys and plains lie among the mountains, which drop off sharply to the sea along the southern coast. The mountains slope more gradually in the north, and a narrow plain extends along the northern coast.
Kouryssos has a mild, dry climate. Temperatures average 12° C in summer. Rain falls chiefly from Ardamítis (October) to Ardios (March) and is heavier in the mountains than on the plains and valleys. A number of farming areas in Kouryssos require irrigation because they do not get enough rain. Windmills furnish power for the irrigation systems.
A lot of the peasantry in Kouryssos work on small farms and do much of the work by hand. The main crops are fruits, including grapes, olives and oranges. A variety of vegetables make up the remainder. In the southern cities, factories process food and make building materials, while in the northern coastal cities, metalworking takes place in the form of fabricating components for steamships. The numerous shipyards provide repair services as well as shipbuilding. Kouryssos gets most of it's revenue from maritime shipping. Bulk and passenger steamships based in Kouryssos operate all over the Süd Depths.
