Antarida

Antarida, officially the Federated Islands of Antarida (Litusian: De Federatstuió Islas óis Antuk) is a nation located in the North Veratlantic Archipelago. It consists of about 28 islands which stretch above its bordering countries, Lorenta and the Atlantic Federation.

It claimed a sovereign status from Llithustania and formed its own government with its main house or Congress based in Lakehurst City, the national capital. The independence movement of 1998 was popularized by local Antaridan, Davis Adrienne who put the country on focus by the international media and the Litusian government who neglected the offshore state; in which, quoted "Antarida is a strong and stable nation, one that could stand to be self-governing". The Litusian Federation then granted the country its sovereignty after a 12 year long dispute over the country's status, economically and politically.

Currently governed by the Free Antaridan Party, whom leader Anna Burmoev represents as the country's national President. Antarida has long been around for about 120 years, ever since Llithustania seized the island from the United States in a 2 year long war as to which country would gain control over the island and it's resources.

Climate
Antarida retains a temperate climate which can get to sub-zero conditions during winter. The average temperatures between Spring and Summer go from about 12 to 21 degrees celcius. During Fall and Winter, the country can slip into averages of about 6°C - 11°C (42°F - 52°F)

Topography
The main Antaridan Islands (West Island & East Island) are commonly lush forests in the interior of the islands or are farmed land for crops and dairy farming. As well as the majority of the inland areas of the main islands being covered in rugged mountains and low rise plateaus, small pockets being flat farmed land. Coastal areas are often rocky with only a few sited beaches of yellow sand.

About 69 percent of land in Antarida is covered in thick forests, as the majority of the islands run under protected land reserves which the government have rights for. There are only a few river systems that run through the main islands, rivers such as the Anapac River, the longest river in the country, which runs through the city of Barclay (Border Town) and out into Hunters Straits via Kimberly.
