== Geography ==
Aivintis is located on the coast of Southeast Gondwana, bordered to the northwest by [[East Cerdani]] and to the southwest by [[Joralesia]], a territory of [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. To the east, Aivintis is bordered by the [[Concordian Ocean]].
The highest points in Aivintis are the Nymphen des Abends Cliffs, translating to “Nymphs of the Evening,” which is a reference to the ancient goddesses of dusk that guarded the gates to Night in [[Lerasian Mythology]]. Otherwise, Aivintis is rather flat, with rolling hills. The soil is mostly infertile, with the most notable exception being the Grandys River Valley, a highly fertile geographical region historically under the control of the Kingdom of Grandys.
The weather in Aivintis is quite cold, due to its position close to the South Pole, but the summers can get quite hot. There are no dry seasons in Aivintis, and rain is common occurrence in most of the nation. Storms are not uncommon, especially in the north. There are very rarely any natural disasters in the area, making the country fairly safe in that regard. Fog is a regular phenomenon.
The shores of Aivintis are characterized by unremarkable beaches with the land flattening out to meet the sea. As one moves inland, the land slowly transforms into green fields and hills. In the winter, especially, when the skies are darker, the landscape has an almost sullen feel to it. This has been the subject of art and poetry for centuries. Urbanization and industrialization from the 19th and 20th centuries have marred much of this natural beauty, but some remains today.
Even further inland, away from the highly developed coastal regions, forests dot the countryside. The most common forests are pine, fir, and oak, but there is rare diversity in them. Although not as developed as the costal regions, a few modern cities can be found in this region, namely [[Thaddea]] and Frontierwood. Otherwise, most settlements are smaller cities or towns built decades or centuries ago in and between the wooded landscape. Out towards the border, the forests start to get thicker, but in recent times the nation has been encouraging settlement in this frontier.
Geographical tourist attractions in Aivintis include the Nymphs of the Evening, Remington Field, the Grandys River, Frontierwood Crater, and King’s Game Forest.
