Parthonopia (Parthonopian: Partenopea), officially the Kingdom of Parthonopia (Parthonopian: Regno della Partenopea), is a country in the southwest corner of Lira. It is bordered by Arideo in the east, Achkadia to the north, Produzland to the northwest, and the Aurum Ocean in the south. Parthonopia has 80,483,000 inhabitants, primarily concentrated on the southern shores of the Orthurian Penninsula, around the Pyrrenian Bay, and the valley around the Aniene River in the north. Parthonopia has a largely temperate seasonal and Mediterranean climate. The country covers an area of ______.
Etymology
The assumptions on the etymology of the name "Parthonopia" are very numerous and the corpus of the solutions proposed by historians and linguists is very wide. According to one of the more common explanations, the term Parthonopia, from Latin: Parthenopea "maidens voice", was borrowed through Greek and derived from parthenos "maiden, virgin" and ops "voice". The name Parthonopia originally applied only to a part of what is now the southern shores of the Orthurian peninsula, specifically regarding the coastal provinces up to the modern day Prinicpality of Ancona. Gradually the world came to apply the name "Parthonopia" to a larger region, but it was during the reign of Emperor Salius (end of the 1st century BC) that the term was expanded to cover the entire region of the modern day Commonwealth.
The standard way to refer to a citizen of Parthonopia is as a "Parthonopian."
Geography
Waters
Climate
Parthonopia’s climate is fairly consistent. The subtropical climate is characterized by hot dry summers and moderate or high rainfall in winter. The more humid north receives more rainfall while the coastline has drier summers receiving less precipitation.
In most of the inland northern and central regions, the climate ranges from humid subtropical to humid continental and oceanic. In particular, the climate of the Aniene river valley geographical region is mostly continental, with harsher winters and hot summers. The coastal areas of Ancona, Puorto Lafina and most of the south generally fit the Mediterranean climate stereotype. Conditions on peninsular and coastal areas can be very different from the interior's higher ground and valleys, particularly during the winter months when the higher altitudes tend to be cold, wet, and often snowy. The coastal regions have mild winters and warm and generally dry summers, although lowland valleys can be quite hot in summer. Average winter temperatures vary from 0 °C (32 °F) in Catanzaro to 12 °C (54 °F) in Ancona, like so the average summer temperatures range from 20 °C (68 °F) to over 25 °C (77 °F).
Biodiversity
Parthonopia has a high level of faunal biodiversity, with over 39,000 species recorded as of 2010. The varied geological structures of the region, from the Parthonopian Garigue in the southwest, central woodlands, Macchia just north of the coast, and Aniene River valley contribute to the high habit and ecological diversity.
There are 92 mammal species in Parthonopia. Some of the species are Miletto Marmot, forest dormouse, Etruscan shrew (the smallest mammal in the world), and the Liran snow vole. Notable large mammals are the Deyadian lynx, Parthonopian wolf, Marsican brown bear, Pyrenean chamois, Alpine ibex, common genet, axis deer, mouflon, rough-toothed dolphin, crested porcupine and Relian monk seal. Parthonopia is also home to several endemic animal species, unique mammals including the Ventotene hare, the Picardian long-eared bat, the Parranian shrew, the Calabria pine vole and the Ventotene deer.
