The North PacificBoard

The county is predominantly rural with the town of Jadarok being the largest settlement. The county has an area of 121,878 km² (47,057 sq mi), the second largest in Westplain after Areras, and a population of 625,274, giving it a density of roughly 5 people per square kilometre, the lowest population density in the Commonwealth. The south contains the largest towns: Jadarok (137,339), Zula (97,683), Arathajoth (77,670), and Bi (74,304). There are, however, settlements in the seemingly inhopsitable north, in which the largest towns are Felgarth (12,043) and Undaphar (9,808). For local government purposes, the county is split into two unitary authority areas: Vetakuna and Beo. The county is split into four ranfalas (electorates): Xinaxorth, Dokacanarazì, Bunagorma, and Odenthar. The capital is Ansamer, commonly known as Anşama and Anzama.

The north of Enthar's geography is dominated by the Crogarite Mountains. At the same time, to the south the land becomes flatter, culminating into the Undar Lowlands until reaching the border with Areras. Its highest point is Mount Sajalfrothasa, simply known as Frothasa, which is 4,257 metres high (13,967 ft). Enthar's climate is mostly subarctic. Tundra climates are in the extreme north while temperate climates are in the extreme south. The county's Yerfavotha Park (simply known as Yerfa Park) is a world-renowned nature reserve which hosts many animals not seen in the rest of the Commonwealth and was built to preserve the country's major hotspot of subarctic wildlife and attracts tens of thousands of tourists each year. It is the Commonwealth's biggest national park/reserve. Other famous sites and geographical features include Xeyo Palace, the Independence Museum, the Vetakuna Wilderness, the Hajavor Plateau and more. Armament companies are interested in moving to the county due the recent invention of Soditors (sodium torpedos) and the abundance of sodium in Enthar than most places.

The Stilijan Period began in 677 BC, with Enthar expanding to Arctic Osea and attempting to take over Qlinkita Island. The Neo-Entharian Period began in 600 BC, with a war between the Nadsurian Empire and the Kingdom of Enthar: the First Entho-Nadsurian War which began in 598 BC, and saw the Adrithids gain independence in 570 BC. The Fourth Krunskoldic War began in 568 BC, and Enthar helped Nadsur defeat Adrithia in 567 BC. The Ucerian Empire invaded the region in 119 BC, and the conquest of Enthar was completed in 89 BC.

The Karabuls, a confederation of tribes tired of Ucerian rule, rebelled in 86 AE. It spread across Enthar and Arsola until falling in 416 AE. The Yeroguri-Sakanese Kingdom invaded the region in 937 AE, and the Joghundais invaded in 1228 AE before its collapse in 1235 AE. It was incorporated into the Paulistian Empire in 1572 until its power dwindled by the 1650s and lost swathes of land after losing a war against the Huchumate of Issola (Westplain). The region was formed into a territory of the Commonwealth by the name of Enthar in 1751. In 1776 AE, large amounts of land were taken from the Enthar territory, causing a rebellion known as the Bindas Brawl or Entharian War of Independence which was lost. Enthar became the 25th county of Westplain on July 26th, 1902.

The crogarine zone mainly consists of the Crogarite Mountains, the Hajavor Plateau, encompassing northern Enthar. It is characterised by alpine tundra caused by high mountainous terrain (not subceeding 1,800 metres and not exceeding 5,000 metres) with other forms of cold rugged landscape. The asagephine zone is very similar to the crogarine, however, it is clearly more humid due to the presence of the Asagepha (the namesake) and Zadenkul rivers and receives more precipitation. This is also due to the lower elevation of mountains northward of it, allowing moist air to pass through more easily and humidify the atmosphere and not undergo relief rainfall, unlike what happens in the rest of northern Enthar.

The vetakune zone consists of the Vetakuna Wilderness, located in western Enthar. It is characterised by subpolar plain: undisturbed, snow-clad flatland. It is the only one of its kind in the world. The cisormine zone typically consists of areas immediately north of Lake Orma. It is characterised by taiga: coniferous forest, long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation. The boreal subaresine zone lies between the cisormine and aresine; it was recently designated as it was observed to be noticeably different from the two, combining features attributed to the said zones to create its own unique identity. It is concentrated in central Enthar. The aresine zone (sometimes called the aresundarine zone to be more specific to the region) consists of the Enthar Lowlands, and southern Enthar. It is characterised by temperate grassland.

The climate in Felgarth and the extreme north of Enthar is what would be expected for an area north of the Arctic Circle. It is a tundra climate (Köppen ET) with long, very cold winters and short, cool summers. The sun does not rise at all during some weeks in the winter and is out for 24 hours during some weeks in the summer. However, despite 24 hours of sunshine in the summertime, the average low temperature is barely above freezing in Felgarth in July, at 36 °F (2.2 °C) and Undaphar in July, at 34 °F (1.11 °C) and snow may fall any month of the year. North Enthar is the coldest and driest region in the county. The climate of northeast Enthar is a dry-summer subarctic climate (Köppen Dsc) and a subarctic climate with severe winters (Köppen Dwd). In the northwest near the border with Crogar there is a whit of an ice cap climate (Köppen EF).

The climate of central Enthar is best described as extreme and is an excellent example of a true continental subarctic climate. Some of the hottest and coldest temperatures in Enthar occur around the area. The summers can have temperatures reaching into the 90s °F (near 34 °C) partly due to the angle of the sun at Enthar's high latitude, while in the winter, the temperature can fall below −50 °F (−45.6 °C), and in rare cases, below −60 °F (−51.1 °C). Precipitation is generally sparse around the year, except the Orma Basin and the Tegel Basin and areas surrounding them where a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) is present, peaking during the summer months, and virtually all precipitation between October and April falls as snow. Ice fog is a significant hazard during especially cold periods between November and March.

The second level lies southeast of the first. This step primarily includes the Skathiburbhasta Uplands and for this cause is sometimes referred to by geologists as the Skathiburbhasta level. It is bound from the west by the Hajavor Plateau, to the southwest by the Freyakutsama Fores, to the south by the Aka microbasin and the southeast by the Akalechar microbasin. Average elevation is 1,000 metres (2,592 ft). The third step, the largest out of the five, is concentrated in central Enthar. There the terrain descends sharply to heights of roughly between 500 and 300 metres except around the lakes, before reaching the Undar’s tributaries. It stretches from just beyond the border with Areras via the Sabhanskel Basin to the border with Ibra. This step includes the Freyakutsama Forest, the Arerastrama Basin, the Cinrag microbasin, the Diha Forest, the Sinrag Forest, the Vetakuna Wilderness, Lake Orma, its basins and its tributaries’ basins, and Lake Tegel.

The fourth step extends from the basins of the Undar River to the Undar-Askela perpendicular. Almost all of this area is made up of hills and plains around 170 metres (558 ft). The fifth step is the southernmost level, consisting of the Enthar Lowlands, a subsection of the Areras Plain. Its average elevation is 83 metres (272 ft). Enthar’s mountains and relief, indeed, have exerted a tremendous influence on the country’s political, economic, and cultural development. By rough estimate, about two-fifths of the total area of Enthar is mountain. Enthar has Westplain’s tallest mountain and the continent’s highest and largest plateau, in addition to possessing extensive plains. The five major landforms—mountain, plateau, hill, plain, and basin—are all well represented. Enthar’s complex natural environment and rich natural resources are closely connected with the varied nature of its relief.

The Zadenkul, the brother of Asagepha, also rises in the north of the Crogarites and drains into the Gotaban. The main stream flows into the Freyakutsama Forest while its subsequent tributary, the Barnazad, flows back to the Crogarites. However, despite being the shorter of the two is the longest river in regards to just Enthar. The Tungar River rises in Lake Orma and empties into the Skathiburbhasta-Freyakutsama Area (the transition landscape between Freyakutsama Forest and the Skathiburbhasta Uplands). It is the smallest of the main rivers when ignoring the boundaries of Enthar.

Of the total annual runoff, about 86 per cent drains directly into the interior of the county (more than 65 per cent into Lake Orma, 31 per cent into the Indian Ocean, and less than 4 per cent into the Tungar River), 7 per cent drains into the Undar, 3 per cent drains into the Asagepha and Zadenkul (which eventually drain into the Gotaban and the Gulf of Ryavsk), 2 per cent drains into the Arerstrama and Cinrag and just over one per cent disappears inland.

Major mammals found all over Enthar include moose and sneak, bison, wolves and wolverines, foxes, otters and beavers. Fish species are extensive, including salmon, graylings, char, rainbow and lake trout, northern pike, halibut, pollock, and burbot. The bird population consists of hundreds of species, including Bagratian eagles, owls, falcons, ravens, ducks, geese, swans, and passerines. Sea lions, seals, sea otters, and migratory whales are often found close to shore and in offshore waters. The Entharian lakes are home to two species of turtles, the Ormian blackback turtle and the green sea turtle.

Climate change and the slow melting of the Vetakuna reinforce this form of natural disaster. The Arerastrama and Zinrag rivers drain into the Vetakuna, so the massive snowplain melting might cause those rivers to flood too, creating a domino effect and causing the Sabhanskel and Undar to flood too. Ramifications have already started to show because of this; the amount of flooding in Ogsar Province has tripled since about six years ago. The Provincial Disaster Assistance Program expended more than 300 million ahalecs in calendar years 2030 to 2038, with 2032 expenditures greater than 150 million ahalecs. Ice fog is also a constant issue.
