Nortua is the fourth-largest of five continents located on the planet of Iearth. The vast continent is bounded by the Olympic Ocean to the east, the Northern Ocean to the north, and the Samson Ocean to the west. It is bisected from Adula to the south by the Epsilon Sea, Nortua Sea and Yn Syth. It is the second least populated continent after Antartique, largely due to its size and generally harsh climate that parallel's its northern latitude. It has the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world, at latitude 82°30'05" north, 817 kilometres (508 mi) from the North Pole, located at Recon Percilius Joint Research Station on Percilius Jacobeir Island in New Anea.
Nortua has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi). Its population as of 2018 has been estimated at more than 423 million. Birnir is the largest country by area, with it also being the most populous at just over 73 million. Most of the population of Nortua lives near the continent's western or southern coasts while the interior and northern coasts are sparsely populated.
The continent's cultural and ethnic outlook has its origin with the interaction of indigenous peoples with Adulan conquerors and immigrants.
