Much of Casillo y Real is dominated by mountains: surveys note that approximately 32% of land area is either a plateau or a mountain 1,000 meters or higher above sea level. The Nevadres Mountains, and their sub-chains the Julocieres and the Rezores, comprise the largest mountain ranges in the nation. The highest peak in the nation is the mountain of Montabuelo, while the largest is Tiuñolo, at a height of 1,879 meters and an estimated size of 230 square kilometers.

 

=== Flora and Fauna ===

The Andoran region shares many species of plants and animals with the surrounding lands, including the golden eagle, the national animal of Casillo y Real. The different sub-regions have distinct soil profiles, precipitation, air quality, and ease of emmigration, which defines the plant types that grow there and thus also the animals. Some species that are unique to the region are the Andoran brush wolf, the Doradan ox, the Carteñe sheep, and the Violet-fletched woodpecker. Plant subspecies that can be found in Andora are the Avantanan orange and the Julociere olive, which are staple crops.

 

Biodiversity is large, and the government maintains programs to keep habitat destruction and species persecution to a minimum. Hunting of nearly any kind is banned except by government officials for the purposes of population control or risk management. The nation has been ranked as one of the highest in Novaris in terms of least human impact on existing environments. Parks and preserves are dedicated to keeping endangered local species alive in the wild; as of 2020 there were nearly 840 facilities of this kind in operation.
