Geography
The majority of Clostary forms part of the XX and is known as the Clostarian Alps. The smaller lowland region in the eastern portion of the county is known as Grisland and is the most densely populated area dominated by industry. The capital, Scharbig, is situated at the border between the Alps and the Grisland.
Deciduous forest is the predominant vegetation in the Griflach area outside of agricultural land. The lower reaches of the Alps are densely forested, whilst the higher altitudes have a variety of alpine biomes.
