Geography

The hinterlands are made up of low lying and gentle hills, with some marshlands along the coast in the south. Much of the country is taken up by the floodplain of the river Canne, with its many tributaries forming the country's geology. Much of the country was originally covered in thick forest, however over the centuries the country has been transformed into a more hospitable landscape for human habitation and agriculture.
