History

Seulbyeni was one of the early settlement areas, it became a centre of Arthuristan colonial influence in the 16th through 19th centuries.

Geography

Location

Seulbyeni made up of a collection of islands situated along the north-eastern coast of the Anikatian mainland. As much of Seulbyeni's terrain is hilly to mountainous with steep slopes, less than 25% of the territory's landmass is developed, and about 40% of the remaining land area is reserved as country parks and nature reserves. Low altitude vegetation in Seulbyeni is dominated by secondary rainforests, as the primary forest was mostly cleared and higher altitudes are dominated by grasslands.

Resources

The area of Seulbyeni is renowned for its rich tropical landscape and unique cultural mix of Arthuristan and Anikatian background. The limited flat land created a necessity for dense infrastructure, and the small islands became a centre of modern architecture with Seulbyeni City becoming a major modern city with a highly developed public transportation network. Outside of this economic hub the rest of the island remains fairly underdeveloped consisting of only a small number of towns and fishing villages.

Cities and parks

The main cities in the autonomous regions are Seulbyeni City (the regional capital), along with the much smaller towns of IIan-bou, Gurkni-he, Dorgon, Niyalma, Ja-in and Sargan.
