The nation is located exclusively within the Narinjinsperi Mountain Range, giving the nation a rough but naturally beautiful climate. Gregoria has a total land area of x km^2, making it one of the smallest countries in continental Thrismari.

The Evardom has a population of around 6.4 million people. The population is fairly sparsley urbanised, with a population density of around x/km2 (x/sq mi). Gregoria is a constitutional monarchy headed by the Evar of Gregoria.

Etymology

The name 'Gregoria' derives from the patron saint of Gregoria, Saint Gregory, who founded the nation and established the beginning of recorded history within the mountain enclave. It became the name of the nation in 1566, however, replacing Tsilori due to a legal documentation signed by the Evar that gave the land the name 'Gregoria' which is believed to be for the ease of Common speakers. Despite this, the name in the native language remains as Tsilori, to present day.

The nation lies entirely within the -2 timezone, on the same latitude as nations such as Alamtar and Aisharia and the same longitude as nations such as the Ganji Islands and Foxomexra. It contains three basic topographical areas: the Gregorian Narinjinsperi to the south, the Gregorian Plateau or Western Plateau, and the Sera mountains on the east. The Narinjinsperis are a high mountain range running across the north, west, south and some of the east of the country, constituting about 70% of the country's total area. The large majority of the nations citizens live in the Gregorian Plateau region. Among the high valleys of the Gregorian Narinjinsperi, many glaciers are found, totalling an area of 806 square kilometres (311 sq mi). From these originate the headwaters of several major rivers, such as the Gortanula, Inna, Pzilrua and Rhône, which flow in the four cardinal directions into the whole of Thrismari and into the Marmor Sea.

Thirty-seven of Gregoria's mountain peaks are 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) above sea in altitude or higher. At around 4,539m (14,891 ft), Mount Gori is the tallest of these peaks and is located in the eastern mountainous regions, known as the Gregorian Narinjinsperi. It's the same region that a majority of the nations mountain peaks are located. The section of the Narazeni Narinjinsperi above the deep glacial Ananuri valley, containing 72 waterfalls, is well known for the Sagvichio (3,998m) and the many picturesque valleys in the region.

The more populous northern part of the country, constituting about 80% of the country's total population, is called the Gregorian Plateau. It has greater open and hilly landscapes, partly forested, partly open pastures, usually with grazing herds or vegetables and fruit fields, but it is still hilly. There are large lakes found here, and the biggest Gregorian cities are in this area of the country.
