Whaeamoe (Tikaora: Whenua he Whaeamoe [faeaːmoe]), sometimes referred to as Tikaora (Tikaora: Whenua he Tikaora [tiːkaoɾa]) for its prevailent ethnic group, is a sovereign country in far western X. It is bordered in the north by Cukobai and in the west by the Deris Sea. Whaeamoe is a megadiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plateaus up to the border to Cukobai in the north to the peaks of the Aotearoa mountains extending along the country's spine to the sub-tropical Huemakuku basins in the west. Its geographical boundaries made the area quite remote and lately settled by humans. During its long period of isolationism, Whaeamoe developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal, and plant life. The country's varied topography owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. Whaeamoe's capital city is Tauranga and at the same time resides as the most populous city.
