'''New Calthia''', or '''New Calth''' (Meaning ''New Caltharus'') is a [[MBE|Morstaybishlian territory]] on the continent [[Arcturia]] that borders the semi-autonomous state of [[Puntalia]] and [[Rodenia]]. New Calthia, together with [[Louzaria]], make up the last colonies of the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] in Arcturia.
'''New Kaltarus''', or '''Nevez Kaltar''' is a series of islands forming a [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian oversea territory]] off the coast of [[Arcturia]], near the semi-autonomous state of [[Puntalia]] and [[Rodenia]]. New Kaltarus, together with [[Louzaria]], make up the last Morstaybishlian holdings in Arcturia.

New Calthia is the second largest Morstaybishlian colony with a total area of 228,050 km² (88,050.6 sq mi) including its several major islands, which is just under 1/8th of the size of [[Caltharus|Metropolitan Caltharus]]. It is also the second most populous Morstaybishlian colony with 23.15 million in 2016, just under 1/6th of the population of Metropolitan Caltharus. There are just over 101 people per square kilometre. 2 million people live in the capital, Boscawen.

New Calthia's countryside consists of partially open subtropical highlands and subtropical forests mixed with oceanic climate more towards the east, and a mixture of subtropical steppes and open habitat mesa grassland towards the west. There is a larger variety of species in the partially open subtropical highlands and subtropical forests than anywhere else in New Calthia. The subtropical forests are divided into two closely related subtypes.

This is a tall, dense, species-rich forest in a moist and warm temperate climate. The highest canopy is formed from the intermeshed crowns of the most massive trees. Understories are formed from medium-sized, multitrunked trees and the forest floor is home to a range of indigenous shrubs, bushes, ferns, and flowers. Enormous lianas and vines reach up to the canopy and between the branches and a variety of animals inhabit these woods. These woodlands spread far and wide in Colonarius Province.

===Western-Mesa grasslands===
===Western-Mesa grasslands===
The furthermost western regions of New Calthia sees subtropical forest turn to steppe bushland with trees in uncommon infrequent intervals, usually near bodies of water. The steppe bushland eventually merges with a mesa grassland. This area is drier but still arable. There are infrequent bushes and shrubs which seemed to have replaced the infrequent trees in this biome. Shrubbery exists alongside the Alais river basin.

Invertebrates such as insects and arachnids, small rodents, shrews and avian species inhabit the mesa grasslands, of which the most common avian species are the [[Wikipedia:Northern black korhaan|white-quilled bustard]] and the [[Wikipedia:Eastern long-billed lark|Nova-Calthia long-billed lark]]. The only predator in the mesa grasslands is the [[Wikipedia:Cape eagle-owl|Arcturian eagle-owl]].
