Ibica is a continent entirely within the Eastern Hemisphere of Terra Ceralis. It is bordered to the north and east by the Coresian Ocean, to the south by the Bosphorus Ocean, and to the west by the Black Sea. A narrow isthmus connects Ibica with the Continent of Ostria at the continents northwestern most point.

Ibica was reached by its first human populations approximately 40,000 to 17,000 years ago. The so-called Paleo-Ibican period is taken to have lasted until about 10,000 years ago (the beginning of the Archaic or Meso-Ibican period). The classic stage spans roughly the 6th to 13th centuries.

Geography

There are numerous islands off the continent's coasts; principally, the Cheirol Archipelago, Edward Island, and James Island. The vast majority of Ibica is on the Ibican Plate.

The continent can be divided into four great regions (each of which contains many subregions): the Central Ibican Plain stretching from the Bay of Ibica to the Bay of Albion; the geologically young, mountainous west, including the Madison Mountains; the raised but relatively flat plateau of the Ibican Highlands in the central west; and the varied eastern region, which includes the Georgia Range, the coastal plain along the Atlantic seaboard, and the Angola peninsula.
