The most jovial Principality of Beauquegne, or Beauquegne in short, is a sovereign nation situated on Lys, an island belonging to the northernmost part of the Pythian continent separated from it by the (yet unnamed) sea. Beauquegne occupies the entire island of Lys, as well as several smaller islands on its southern coast.

Geography

Landscape and rivers

Being an island nation, Beauquegne possesses no true neighbouring countries, however it lies in close proximity to the nations of the northern Pythian coast, as well as the island nation of Ariseo, all of which lie to the south of Beauquegne; Prestoria holds colonial possessions of an island to the north-east of Beauquegne, although the sovereignty over these islands is often disputed by the Beauqon government.

The five rivers of Beauquegne dominate the landscape of the island. They support the fertile western farmlands as well as the majority of the island's urban centres, such as La Bayonne and Maubourg-en- Beauquegne's main and largest island, Lys, possesses a diverse geography. Due to it's temperate climate, Much of higher lying land is covered in deciduous forest

Economy

Natural resources

Ore

Due to the mountain ranges concentrated in the north and east of the island, a large proportion of Beauquegne's economy derives from the mining sector, the vast majority of which is state-owned. Industrial resources such as coal, copper and iron are chiefly mined from the eastern mountain ranges, while the northern hills and mountains boast deposits of more valuable metals, such as silver and gold, as well as minerals, which are used in the National bank of Beauquegne to mint currency.
