Korpiceia's rivers are shallow, mostly short but have very big currents. The largest river is the River Amphrysos, which flows from the northeast, into the capital of Kamareia and finishes in the cape to the southeast.
The highest point in Korpiceia would be Mount Ouros (even though its status as one is disputed among geologists), which is found in the south of the country, about 50 kilometers east of the city of Molyndos. Its elevation is 1858,72
The islands in the northwest of the mainland (excluding the Minoos Island, located only a few miles east of the northern areas) are called the "Chamila Islands" (Χαμηλές νήσοι - Literally translates to "low" islands) and are particularly arid. The largest city and capital of the island complex is the city of Anylos (whose name literally means "the one with no trees". Lack of trees is a remarkable characteristic of the Korpiceian isles), which is located in the Lotophagus island,

The Korpiceian south is rich in many metals and minerals such as [[wikipedia: Iron|iron]], [[wikipedia: Gold|gold]], [[wikipedia: Lithium|lithium]], [[wikipedia: Manganese|manganese]], but [[wikipedia: Lead|lead]] can be found in abundance, hence the city of Molyndos having its name (lead is "molyvdos"/"μόλυβδος" in Paldic but also "μόλυντος" means dirty). Mining has also grown since 2020, though there have been many unfavourable reactions, especially regarding lead mining deeming the mining operations as unecological and harmful for stock and crops.
=== Administrative regions ===
Korpiceia is divided in 5 administrative regions ("Διοικητικές περιφέρειες", most commonly refered to as "περιφέρειες"):
* Pamonias, the most populous one with its center in Kamareia
* Omoronon, which contains Minoos Island and the north western areas
* Chamilon Nison, consisting of the Chamila Islands
* Denyrou, who covers most of the central areas
* Oryktou, the second most populous located in the south of the country
The regions act as political entities, with the Initiative being divided between regions (and then between settlements) for ease of measuring votes and for voting on parliament officials, who strictly represent their own region and must be citizens of it. They aren't totally utilitarian, as slight cultural differences have been noted between regions in the past, especially when it comes to dialects, with every region and possibly even smaller areas speaking a faintly distinct dialect of Paldic.
