Bonaventure has maritime borders with Ardesia to the north, Aucuria to the southeast, Eldmark to the west, andImagua and the Assimas to the south, with whom Bonaventure has a territory dispute over the small Dunhelm Island. As of 2020, Bonaventure has a population of 3,298,969 people, and a land area of 40,015.36 square kilometers, being the second biggest and second most populated of the Arucian islands. The capital and biggest city of Bonaventure is the city of Sermoni, located in the northern coast of the island.
Etymology
The name “Bonaventure” is originally used after the Etrurian sailor, Giuseppe Bonaventura, who established the first settlement in the island in 1510. The name is also a reference to Saint Bonaventura, and it is believed that Giuseppe Bonaventura had his name given as an homage to the Catholic Saint. Linguists, however, believe that the name “Bonaventura” also means “land of good fortune,” as bona seems to be a viariant of the Vespasian buona (good), and ventura seems to be a variant of the Vespasian fortuna (luck, good fortune).
