Geography and Climate

Natural Geography

The country of Eserrei has many geographic features to its landscape. The three main natural features that define Sztrolawa are the Kyddis mountains which shape the eastern border sort of like a spine. The primary range is predominantly located in the Kloyszten, Sren and Burzinai provinces towards the southeast region of the country. This region is defined by rocky mountain peaks and plateaus covered in grasslands. Because of the aggressive landscape, this region is the least densley populated in Sztrolawa. Most cities and towns in the region are spread out where the terrain relents enough for development. The highest mountain peak is Mt. Pilotin at 9,415ft above sea level which is located in the Kloyszten province near Intalawa.

Mt. Pilotin

In the central and southern region is the river lowlands which is considered the breadbasket of Eserrei and well suited for farming. The main two rivers Sztro and Fore rivers, both flow from east to west from the Kyddis mountains to the Casarta Sea. There are smaller mountain ranges here as well most notably the Polva range, which runs from near the southern border with Latilli northwest into the Kardowa province. The northwest coastal region is known for it's rocky and jagged coastline and lush, dense forests of pine trees. The Tynotis mountain range while far smaller in elevation is known for having the enormous Sequitys trees which climb as high as 300ft and a diameter of up to around 35 ft. This region also boasts Sztrolawa's most popular tourism, with Eserei national park on the coast and the Tynotis mountains just inland. To the farthest north we have the Uvvatis province which stands alone with it's great lakes and deep gorges. The elevations of the mountains here are lower than in the south however. The lower mountains allowed the Lieutavan people to travel and explore the eastern side of the Kyddis and establish towns here before the Polawans.

Climate

The climate of Sztrolawa can vary significantly across the nation. The northwestern coastal area is a temperate oceanic climate which receives substantial rainfall. Winters are cold and wet with snow likely just inland while summers are warm but usually not hot. Cities like Jovanai, Erzytydys, and Hyast fall into this category. The interior river region is a temperate continentral climate with warmer wet summers and cold snowy winters. The interior mountain region has a more arid climate with the majority of it's precipitation falling as snow in the winter. During the summer months is when we see the highest temperatures in Sztrolawa typically in Aptolis where temps can reach 100 deg. Farenheit. Up north in the Uvvatis province is where Sztrolawa sees it's coldest average yearly temperatures whereas the individual coldest temperature can be found at Mt. Pilotin.

Administrative Divisions

Sztrolawa is divided into 12 official provinces for administrative purposes and also for government elections. There are seven provinces which are majority Liet and five which are majority Polawan. The Burzinai province is notable for having two capital cities. Historically it was a territory and governed by Torunzidis directly but as the region grew it gained full status of a provicne. Burzinai is now the second fastest growing province only after Vysass. Its people can largely be found in either the furthest north cities or in the furthest south near Aptolis and so is governed by a southern (Aptolis) and northern capital (Eltiridys).

In the last few decades youth participation in tennis has grown particularly with the construction of indoor tennis facilities to allow for players to compete year round even though the temperatures in most of Sztrolawa in the winter can be very cold.
