The largest rivers are Mitsugawa and Narusegawa, both located on Daishima.

Economy
Shimachi's economy is dominated by agriculture and tourism.
As the province geographically closest to Acrea's Ryuku archipelago, it is a popular site of tourism and cruises.
One small island in the province, Kyōshima, is notable as the site of Common Sphere summits, and the former residence of Gina Campanelli.
Politics
Shimachi is a generally left-leaning province, and is notably one of the Green Party's strongest provinces.
