Geography
Kiyortza is located in the northwest corner of the continent of Meredonne in the Western Hemisphere of Anteria. It is comprised of 2 general regions, Riyashi-Kanitzur on the mainland and Kittauhri, the peninsula. The nation as a whole is fairly hilly and mountainous, with hills and mountains lining many of the nation's borders and coasts
Kittauhri
Mountains line the north and west of the Kittauhri Peninsula, with hills lining the isthmus connecting the peninsula to the mainland. Lake Lorzik, the largest lake in the nation, sits in the rough center, and empties into the sea to its east. The Kittauhri Peninsula is of an oceanic climate (think Cascadia irl), and it houses the main portion of the nation's population, with 7 of the 10 largest cities in the nation.
Kanitzur
The Kanitzur region is lined with mountains on the north and east, with hills that connect to the Kittauhri Peninsula to the northwest, and a small mountain range to its center-south. It is mainly comprised of the Si'itiya-Alfahr River Basin, with its northern coast being of the Timisk-Zifrosi Foothills. It is seperate from Riyashi more so by climate and culture rather than geography, as it is with the Kittauhri Peninsula. Its climate is mostly humid continental, with forests nearer the coasts and grassland farther inland.
Riyashi
The Riyashi region is lined with mountains to the east, with a small mountain range in its northeast and its center-west. It is comprised mostly of the Kaprisoz River Floodplains, with a large amount of arable land. Its climate is mostly mediterranean, with a more humid continental climate in its northeast around the city of Skyorpavi.
Djinat
The Island of Djinat is by definition part of Kittauhri, but it is more so its own entity, being an island larger than several province-states alone. It is a fairly cold, mountainous island, with fjords lining its north and east coasts and mountains covering most of the island. Even though Djinatrȳ is the capital of the island of Djinat, it is primarily served by the port of Kiathra in its southwest, being much easier to access.
Economy
Production Industry
Mining
The nation has two main ore-abundant regions, that being the Piskatri Mountains and the Eastern Fukūlya Mountains near Skyorpavi.
West Piskatri Deposit
The West Piskatri Deposit is located primarily in the hills between Daiza and Niklaryi, comprised mostly of monazite and zircon, mixed with streaks of ilmenite here and there. The primary interest for the site is by far the monazite, containing many useful elements, most notably thorium, neodymium, and lanthanum, alongside several other rare earth elements. The thorium is used primarily to power the nation in the form of thorium MSRs (molten salt reactors), while the other various rare earth metals are put to various industrial uses, including magnets, optics, batteries, and fiber optics. The zircon extracted is primarily industrial grade crystal, though certain sites have high quality zircon used in jewelery.
North Piskatri Deposit
The North Piskatri Deposit is located around the coasts of Pashkya, mostly comprised of magnetite and magnetite, with hematite mixed in between. The site is primarily exploited for its high concentration of ilmenite, with the magnetite being a useful secondary product. Most of the ore is either exported overseas or transported to Arkaizya via highway 5, as the region is fairly lacking in space.
East Piskatri Deposit
The East Piskatri Deposit is located in Northeast Piskatni, up the Malkir River. It is a smaller site mainly exploited for its quartz and various quartz-based gemstones, including amythyst, citrine, and rose quartz. The quartz itself is primarily smelted down to make quartz glass, which in turn is used in fiber optics and and certain electronic components.

Administrative Regions
Kiyortza is comprised of 19 province-states and a capital region, with its 3 main regions acting as subdivisions between the administrative regions. The list down below is organized by area code
Kittauhri
01 - Kittalor - The capital city. It is located near the mouth of the Kittalor River, which flows into the southeast of Sivordjik Bay. Kittalor is the third largest city in Kiyortza.
02 - Kittauhri - Named after the regional power of the same name roughly 550 years ago, who was also the namesake of the peninsula. It is located on the base of the Kittauhri Peninsula, with its capital being Kyatūr, the twelveth largest city in Kiyortza, on the banks of the Kyatūr River, which flows into Sivordjik Bay. Viyarki, the eighth largest city, is also part of the region, sitting on the Virika River, in the east of the province-state.
03 - Kittania - Located on the other side of the Sivordjik Bay from the Kittauhri Province-State, on one of the two sub-peninsulas (?) on the Kittauhri Peninsula. Its capital is Kirȳi, the largest port in the nation, serving much of North Kiyortza; it is the fifth largest city in Kiyortza, located on the southeasternmost tip of the Kittania Peninsula, on the west coast of Sivordjik Bay. Takyitzpa, the nation's eleventh largest city, is also located on the west of Kittania.
04 - Sivordjik - The smallest and most densely populated province-state, located to the northeast of Kittania, it is the namesake for the Bay it sits on. Its capital is the city of Sivordjika, the largest city in Kiyortza. Its harbor is one of the busiest in the nation, though unlike Rȳkiri and Kirȳi, it is primarily a passenger harbor.
05 - Piskatni - Located to the north of Kittania, it is fairly mountainous, being cut in half by the Piskatri Range, thus being split between the more resource extraction heavy west and more manufacturing heavy east. Its capital is Daiza in the west, with its second largest city of Niklaryi hosting a good portion of the region's power infrastructure.
06 - Arkaizya - Located to the north of Lake Lorzik, It is a relatively small province-state bordered on 3 sides by mountains and hills, the capital being Arkai'iz, the tenth largest city in the nation.
07 - Lorzik-Patiklya - Located on the northeastern corner of the Kittauhri Peninsula, it is also mostly mountainous, with the southern panhandle hosting much of its population. Its capital is Lorzik, the sixth largest city in Kiyortza, while Visiarp, the ninth largest city in Kiyortza, sits in a surprisingly remote river mouth in the north, serving as a hub for ships coming in from the east; it hosts the sixth largest port in the nation, and the second largest deep-water cargo port in the nation.
08 - Djinat-Pashinkva - The province-state is comprised of the northern island of Djinat, and the mountainous northwest of the Kittauhri Peninsula. It technically has two capitals, one being the city of Pashkya on the peninsula, and the other being Djinatrȳ on Djinat. It is one of the largest but also the most sparsely populated province-states in Kiyortza.
